As you might have already read Mullica Hill has a radon problem. It has been designated a Tier One radon zone by the DEP due to the high incidence of unsafe elevated radon levels in the area and because of that all new construction for quite a awhile have been required to be built with a "passive" radon system by code. Surrounding towns like Swedesboro, Woolwich and Mickletown also have severe radon problems.....I use the term severe because your radon levels should be under 4.0 pCi/L and I was a NJ DEP radon specialist before retiring a short time ago and personally tested homes in those areas as high as 80 pCi/L. Elevated radon levels are relatively easy to correct but be sure you test any house you are considering purchasing.
