Testing answers: “What is the radon level in this home right now?” Mitigation answers: “How do we lower it?” Active soil depressurization systems are common fixes when levels are elevated.

Home inspectors test; licensed mitigation contractors install systems. H8 does not install mitigation—we document levels so you can hire the right specialist if needed.

Order testing first. If results are at or above EPA guidance, get mitigation quotes before you finalize repairs or credits in your transaction.
