How effective is radon mediation when the house is testing at 9.7?

imho:

Each type has its own success ratio.

I found this, http://www.epa.gov/radon/pubs/consgu...l#installtable

it says subslab suction, low range it only 50% so you can get down to
4.85, which is still over the 4 action limit. So worse case it seems
that subslab suction will have to be used in conjunction with another
technique like sealing cracks and seams.

Good luck, please keep us up todate to yoru success.

later,

Thanks for the info. I am not too confortable with these percentages.
I am waiting till tomorrow to speak with some local mitigators.

Talk to your neighbors. Find out who they recommend, check with the
BBB for any potential contractors, and read the EPA site. I belive it
has suggestions about getting guarentees about a reduction level.

Good luck,
