Frequently Asked Questions About Radon in Alaska

What radon level is considered "high"?
The EPA action level is 4.0 pCi/L — many homeowners also choose to fix levels between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L. Any home with levels at or above 4.0 pCi/L should be mitigated.
How much does radon mitigation cost in Alaska?
Radon mitigation typically costs between $800 and $2,500, depending on foundation type and radon severity. A standard sub-slab depressurization system usually falls in the $1,000–$1,500 range.
Does mitigation actually work?
Yes — properly installed systems typically reduce radon levels by up to 99%. A post-mitigation test confirms the system is working correctly, and many homeowners re-test periodically.
Should I test again after mitigation?
Yes. A post-mitigation test is the proof your system is working. The EPA recommends testing within 30 days of installation and retesting every two years.
What EPA Radon Zone is my Alaska county in?
Alaska counties are classified into three EPA Radon Zones. Zone 1 (highest risk, >4 pCi/L) indicates the most concern. Zone 2 (moderate, 2–4 pCi/L) and Zone 3 (lowest, <2 pCi/L) round out the classification. Use the county directory above to find your specific county's zone and data.
