Frequently Asked Questions About Radon in Washington DC

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 Washington DC?
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.
