    Hmm well that's somewhat comforting. A little Googling found a NGO that has a grant to provide instruction on how to fix it. They're sending a contractor out to tell me how to fix this particular house, and I can attend a 3 hour class on wiring it up.

    This house has foundation perimeter drainage for water, so I'm hoping a duct fan into that system will solve the problem.

    Make sure it doesnt flood back through the vent during rainy season!

    RADON isn't really that harmful and the limit here is colorado is extremely small. if you always have your windows closed and you purely run off air conditioning and heating throughout the year it is more important to get it done. best thing is to open a window on the nice nights or a door when you are out cooking on the grill or any time you are home, helps to get the fresh air in.
    If you bought a BRAND new house the builder should have something in the settlement statement that says whether or not they will cover the cost to have your home tested.
    I just bought a new home in august and made sure they will cover the cost of the test when i get it done. I haven't had it done yet, but I have up to a year to have it completed.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    What ever happened to the guy who posted from his car because he kept having the Carbon Dioxide problem? I want to say it was Big Mat, but don't remember. I'm going to go look it up.
