[quote=Anonymous]OP we bought a house earlier this summer with radon level of 21.  We were surprised (it has a walk-out basement so we didn't expect radon to be an issue) but did not consider walking over it.  You could just as easily have high radon in the next house you find.  Everyone I talked to in our neighborhood has had high levels (but none as high as ours!) and a realtor friend told me there is generally high radon in the area.

We had a remediation system installed which brought the level down to 0.4 pretty much immediately (we tested 72 hours after installation).  It is guaranteed for the life of the building--meaning even if we sell the company guarantees the level will be below 4 as long as we don't break it.  It cost us $1100 which we got a credit from the sellers for.  The estimates we got were all around $1000 give or take and we were very happy with the company we used.  It took them about 4 hours to install.  My feeling was that it wouldn't have been worth walking on a house we really liked on a relatively easy fix that we could ask the sellers to pay for.
