How is radon mitigation handled if Im buying or selling a home?
Normally the buyer is responsible for having the home tested for radon. If the levels are above the guideline either the buyer or the seller is responsible for getting one or more radon estimates. Typically the seller pays for the radon mitigation. Sometimes the agreement of sale specifies the seller is responsible for a partial amount of the cost. After the system is installed, the seller is often responsible for paying for the post mitigation radon test unless it is defined differently in the agreement of sale.
