Zone vs. an actual test

A Zone 3 county like Pulaski County is predicted closer to the 0.4 pCi/L typical outdoors than to EPA's 4 pCi/L action level. A Zone 3 label describes Pulaski County's average, not any one basement or slab in it — testing is still the only way an individual homeowner actually finds out.

Testing and mitigation in Pulaski 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.
