Scott in Hoschton, GA decided to have his home tested for Radon. Unfortunately, the radon levels in his home came back high. The EPA recommends mitigation if the radon levels of a home are at or above 4 pCi/L. Scott wanted to take care of the issue as soon as possible and moved forward with the radon mitigation proposed to him by our Design Specialist, Craig Shane.
