Radon mitigation in temporary home?
My non-smoker mom just got diagnosed with lung cancer, so of course I went into Google hell spiral and now I’m here. My partner and I just moved into a home a little a year and a half ago and don’t plan for this to be a forever home. We tentatively plan to move in about 4 years. Would it be worth it to invest in a radon mitigation system or should we save that for a longer-term home? We haven’t tested the levels yet, so is there a certain level where this is a no-brainer? Is it a no-brainer in general? I live in Las Vegas, if that changes anything.
It’s been years since I’ve lived with in my parents’ house, but we moved into that house when I was a teen and I lived there for 6 years before moving out, so I had been exposed to whatever amount that was potentially in that house for that long (I’m 30 now so that was a long time ago). Idk if this is something that builds up and just stays in your body even after you move away? (But who knows how much I’ve been exposed to in all the places I’ve lived since then.)
I also know that it’s probably not ~super~ expensive to do this, but it would still cost a bit of a chunk, and all the little updates/projects that we’ve been doing for our small, temporary home add up.
I figured that any lessened risk, even temporarily, can be worth it? But I also don’t want to jump the gun because of a Google spiral.
Thanks in advance for any wisdom/advice!
