We have done 2 tests for Radon Gas and both have come back around 15. What is the best solution for a homeowner to fix the problem? Is there an inexpensive fix that the homeowner can do, or do you have to spend big money with contractor... If I have to call a contractor, what would I look under in the yellow pages?

Radon in the basement can be reduced with a simple ventilation system. A low volume exhaust fan to the outside and a air inlet at the opposite end of the basement should do the trick.

caulk all cracks in basement floor including where wall meets floor. Make sure sump pit(if you have one) is sealed and vented to the outside. radon gas seeps from the ground up. Depending where you live, east coast probably easier to find someone to fix ,Midwest a little harder because not much of a problem their.
