Radon Gas?

[Willabe]

What do you guys have to say about radon gas?

We're selling our house and it seems to be a big deal now.

from the little I've looked into it, I believe we're in the "sweet spot", the Midwest.  I believe you will find "trace elements" in most homes that have basements, especially the older cobbled versions like mine.  We've never tested, that way we can plead ignorance

You really should have, and talk to, a realtor. They have experience when to bluff and when you must do the whole fan thing to get a buyer. This is very local expertise. In South Jersey there is no radon (sand all the way down). In parts of north Jersey it is a Big Thing, and we had an elaborate fan. We have radon in Maine but nobody is real concerned. (OTOH lead paint scares folks with children).
