After I did an initial mail in test and got 1.9 as a result, I was curious to see how my continuing encapsulation would change things (if any).
Been very happy with this little thing (kept in my daughters bedroom):

This might be worth it for continuous monitoring: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H2VOSP8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Tj3yCbQZVXJR2
Oh, I hear you - I'm in Indiana. Keeping them open for a couple hours for the first week is to lower your current high level. Afterwards, you should only need to open a window briefly (I usually do 15m or so) every day or two to keep levels low.
I've got one of these meters: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H2VOSP8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I keep an eye on it and try to keep my levels below 3. Anytime it creeps up, I crack my window until it goes back down. It's a bit of a hefty initial investment of $200 for the meter, but it's so worth it when compared with the expensive systems.
Yep. The long term average is 2.81 pCi but every now and then i see the 1 day average spike to 6 pCi which makes me nervous.
I've used this little guy for the last year or so...

If you want a Radon monitor that doesn't look like it was designed in the 1980s, it's a good deal.

Get a radon detector from Amazon and find out how well it works .
Usually a sump piit needs a pump to mitigate water and a pump. Is part of that. Usually the weeping tile goes into the pit so water gets pumped. The whole thing could be encapsulated for radon mitigation.
I use this one in my basement:

I think it's mostly about making damn sure that you don't have a problem. It can take short term and long term averages, so you can have the peace of mind that you don't have a problem.
If you look on Amazon, the same company (Corentium) sells a 4.6 star-rating radon monitor with a display for $199.. For basically the same price, you can get their newer Wave detector, which is the link I posted (CES17 coupon code gets you 15% off, but shipping is $25). If you live in an area where Radon is a problem, and you're also the kind of person that is willing to spend $100 on a smoke detector (i.e. Nest Protect) or $200-$250 on a thermostat (e.g. Nest or Ecobee3), then I guess this is for you! I just bought one without hesitation (ok, I hesitated because I was shocked at the shipping charge, but then saw that their company is in Norway).
Plus, typical radon tests are a one-time use thing, cost about $14, and only tell you what the levels were for a 2-3 day time period. Plus, you really should be testing every year or two, and if, for instance, you have family that has basements then you can lend it out to them. So in the long run, the cost may be on par with, or cheaper, than buying the one time use tests.
Anyways, that's my thoughts.
> just get testing done once or twice a year when we test the well water.
Radon is usually highest in winter. I hope you're testing then. Alternatively, get one of these. I'm happy with mine.
I'm cheap, I ended up buying the Corentium detector:

My logic was that radon tests are not most helpful as a one-time thing. You probably want to run at least one short term test, then possibly a long term test. You'll want testing during and after your radon system is installed (especially if you DIY, which I did). Don't forget that you also likely want to test in different locations as well. Depending on your layout, there may not be an obvious best/lowest location. I had a friend who tested low in his crawlspace, but over the partial slab had an 18.
Long term, rather than spending $20-$30 per test (which adds up fast and discourages testing) I can test literally as many times as I want, for as long as I want, in as many places as I want.
And now I have it in a hallway, where I can check on it with a glance when I walk by and could spot any issues.
I got myself this electronic device. Reviews appear good.
