Why the zone isn't the answer by itself

Greensville County's Zone 3 prediction undercuts the roughly 1.3 pCi/L most US homes average, nowhere near EPA's 4 pCi/L threshold for recommending mitigation. Low doesn't mean zero: EPA's own data shows homes in Zone 3 counties like Greensville County testing above the action level often enough that skipping a test isn't the safe assumption.

Testing and mitigation in Greensville County

A short-term test kit is the standard first step and typically costs far less than mitigation itself. If a test comes back at or above 4 pCi/L, a radon mitigation system for a typical home runs roughly $800–$2,500 (around $1,200 for a common single-family install), driven mainly by foundation type, not by county.
