What to do next

The EPA recommends if you have a result of 4 pCi/L or higher a follow up test to confirm whether mitigation is recommended. If levels are 10 pCi/L or higher a second short term test should be administered by a professional as soon as possible. If you are in an area close to Minneapolis or Bismarck, Contact us about either testing or mitigation or both if you fear you have high levels of radon.
