I am a realtor & deal with radon frequently. We recently built a new home & did a hardware store test kit & the results came back 5.1 pCi/L. I thought I would try passive methods to mitigate: seal cracks in floor, basement tub drain covered with plexi-glass & sealed & seal sump crock.
Instead of spending another $40 I thought I would try the electonic monitor. What I have found is that short term levels fluxuate quite a bit. it has ranged from under three to just under 6. The important thing is that the long term level is at about 3.5 after about 2 weeks of testing. The long term results are much more meaningful than a 2 day test. I have found that during/after rains, the level seems to elevate.
I may have a mitigation system installed at some point down the road to further reduce the levels & will have the electonic units results verified with another test.
I would reccommend this prooduct for any home owner who wants peace of mind about the radon levels in their home.
