Good morning, Roy... something I'm very aware of and I also do a post on this each year early in January.

Good morning Roy. Had a commuter apartment once and the owners did Radon Mitigation. I had a radon test done and the levels were 10 times over the limit. They mitigated again. Wonder what the levels were before the first mitigation. Radon is no joke and needs to be taken seriously. Enjoy your day.
