I had to have them when I did my VA for my current house. I think only in the bedrooms though.
I did some brief googling, it said that they are mandatory in some building zones. Nothing I read explained why they might be an issue though
You're looking at too many houses. You're going to end up focusing on one or two silly, useless details to determine which one to buy at this rate.
I'm not sure how those would work considering what I read and what the realtor just explained. Maybe those are detectors?
From what he said a mitigation system is when they drill a hole in the slab and run a pipe up through the house, then put a fan on top so that it pulls the radon gas up through the slab and vents it to the atmosphere.
Not sure why any lending place would frown on that, but I can see testing the functionality being a checklist item on an inspection.
Negative, senor. I look at just about everything and go "we can make this work"
However, she is focusing on silly useless details.
Right now I'm just trying to get a handle on what the hell she wants in a house, I thought I knew and obviously I have no clue, therefore I am viewing many houses.
I'm still pissed at how she turned this place down before she even got there.

in that case, its as you said above. Pipe through the foundation as radon comes up through concrete.
Based on some article that I can't find right now about how the psyche works. Something about the fact that if you look at too many items when making a decision, you end up focusing on one or two insignificant things. Apparently its best to look at a few, then take a break if you don't like them (assuming time permits).
