The City of Reading is seeking proposals from Radon Mitigation Contractors to provide all labor and materials to perform radon mitigation installations and repair tasks as required. This is including, but not limited to, the installation and repairs of components related to radon mitigation systems and clearances for pre-qualified homes located within all City of Reading zip codes. The EPA estimates that about 1 in 15 homes (-7%) in the U.S. have elevated radon levels. This ranges from about 20% of homes in EPA highest risk radon zone (Zone 1) to about 2% of homes in the lowest risk zone (Zone 3). Many states have also developed radon maps for their states, which use more data than was available for the development of the EPA map in the early 1990's. The average cost of professional radon testing is about $140 for a single-family home with an average mitigation cost of $1,500.
