It is a radon mitigation system because this home had recently been tested and was found to have 4.0 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher than the EPA recommended level of radon. This is still new in the buying and selling of real estate but radon is REAL!
This year so far, 8 of my buyers and or sellers of single family homes had radon tests and 3 have tested above 4.0. Those 3 then had a mitigation system installed before listing and or closing.
I am now strongly recommending to all my buyers that the home they want to purchase be tested before completing the purchase and all my sellers before the home is listed for sale.
Read more here and consider having your home tested.
