Radon FAQ for Boscobel, WI

What EPA Radon Zone is Boscobel in?

Should I test for radon if I'm buying a home in Boscobel?
Yes. Radon testing should be part of every home purchase. A short-term radon test is typically included as part of the home inspection process and costs $150–$250. If elevated levels are found, you can negotiate mitigation as part of the sale.
