Zone vs. an actual test

Panola 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. Even at Zone 3, Panola County homes are not guaranteed a low reading — zone is a county-wide average, and EPA recommends testing every home regardless of zone.

If Panola 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.
