Who said anything about basements?

Nick

all radon tests are done in basements

Only because that is the point of entry. If you have radon in the
basement, you want to remove it at that point so that it does not waft
it's way up through the rest of the structure.

CWM

older homes leak so much air, and radon is heavier than air...

its probably not a issue unless you live in the basement.

anyone concerned can do a radon test upstairs. usually the normal
opening and closing of doors windows furnace venting etc dissapate
radon.

when testing they demand the home be sealed for the week of the
test....

life is full of risks, test the upstairs, I had a friend do that in a
home with a number of over 8 in basement, upstairs the number was near
background.

she still plans on getting a radon control system someday befor she
sells, but her basement is storage only so she isnt concerned
