Despite a small percentage of situations that may pose some unforeseen unique challenge, it's fairly safe to say "All radon problems are solvable".

Homes with a properly installed system are typically far lower in Radon levels than are the neighboring homes.

Systems should come with a written contract and guarantee to lower levels or installer will come back. We Do!

The area I live and work in is Colorado Springs / El Paso County. A good majority of homes, buildings and schools here are elevated in this region.

With proper testing and diagnostics with specialized equipment, a good system can be installed to safely and quietly lower levels of Radon.

The last few we have done lowered the levels below 1 pci/l. I try not to guarantee that I can get levels this low... the proof is in the pudding. :-)

With a region like ours, I think the mitigation system is a plus, you are buying a home that should have the lowest levels of this odorless, tasteless invisible product that poses the largest risk of lung cancer in non-smokers.

All homes should be tested during a resale or similar Real Estate transaction. Just to be sure.

Systems that are installed and working correctly should still be checked every 2 years or at times of building alteration, addition etc.
