House Inspection and support woes. Help.

[SSPA117]

Radon was between 4 and 5 in my house as discovered by the inspector during the buying process. We ended up getting 1200 bucks to install the mitigation system once we took possession. I really didn't plan on actually installing the system because I'm the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" guy, until my wife and I experienced an abnormal amount of mild headaches in the first couple of months. We had the radon mitigation system installed($900) and now we are back to "normal". It's worth the money IMHO.

Don't buy what doesn't fulfill your family's requirements, you have those written down right? We lived in our motorhome for 15 months at Johnsons Corner before we found our house. I'd be damned to move here(1200 miles) and buy something we wouldn't be happy with or get screwed with hidden discrepencies not found until you're in the house just because the frenzy makes you feel unnecessary pressure. Become methodical and logical in your search. Good luck!

Did you check for Carbon Monoxide ??

Woah, yeah headaches are a side effect of CO. The mitigation system may have masked the issue since it creates a mild negative pressure in your house. Or at least that is how it works in my untrained mind. Hopefully you have detectors.
