Zone vs. an actual test

Loving County's predicted average sits below the national indoor average of about 1.3 pCi/L, well under EPA's 4 pCi/L action level. Low doesn't mean zero: EPA's own data shows homes in Zone 3 counties like Loving County testing above the action level often enough that skipping a test isn't the safe assumption.

If Loving County tests above the action level

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.
