The EPA action level is 4 pCi/L. If your home tests at or above that, mitigation is recommended. The statewide median indoor level in Iowa is about 8.5 pCi/L, more than double that action level, so testing matters here more than in most states.
A test tells you your radon level. A mitigation system, usually a sub-slab depressurization system, actively reduces that level by venting soil gas from under the foundation before it enters the home. Testing comes first. Mitigation is only needed if the test comes back at or above the EPA action level.
Radon levels are usually highest in colder months when homes are sealed up and airflow slows down, so testing in fall through spring tends to give the most representative reading. That said, a test at any time of year is better than no test at all.
