What should I do this week to start?

Ask your insurer exactly what documentation they need and by what date. Then contact the Kentucky state radon contact to learn which requirements apply to radon measurement and mitigation in Kentucky. You can also use EPA's provider resources to find qualified professionals.

What should I check when hiring a contractor?

EPA says many states require radon professionals to be licensed, certified, or registered, so check this first. Ask for proof of state certification or professional credentials, proof of liability insurance and bonding, and all licenses needed for local requirements. Request the total cost including taxes and permit fees, any deposit, payment due dates, and time to complete.

What do insurers and lenders typically look for?

Insurers and closing files often ask for a proposal that shows contractor credentials. Kentucky housing policy requires that if radon tests at 4.0 pCi/L or higher, mitigation must continue until levels are below 4.0 pCi/L, and successful mitigation must be documented in the file. Keep your post-mitigation results with your paperwork.
