Camp Guy;

Thanks for your response.

The high readings were taken by a NH licensed Home Inspector that I hired. Samples of air and water were taken and sent to a certified lab. Air samples came in at 13.1 in finished basement and 7.2 in first floor living area. Well water came in somewhere around 2400 pci/L. While the water reading really isn't bad, NH recommends mitigation at any reading over 2000 while Massachusetts says 10,000 (go figure)! Nationally a standard has not been set by the EPA so each state makes their own recommendation. Anyway for my own personal peace of mind I am having both taken care of.

I'm not sure what insurance or code has to do with this since New Hampshire law does not mandate radon testing or mitigation during real estate transactions. This is something I had done on my own and not required by anyone.
