I've noticed that it creeps to the 250-300 range if I don't do anything, but turning on the fan (basement washroom) most nights keeps it in the 150-200 range.
LChoy, could you ask your wife if periodically turning on the washroom fan is sufficient? I'm thinking about hooking it up to a clock so it turns on every night from 2:00 am - 5:00 am.

Basically more ventilation means lower levels since it dilutes the radon level inside. So definitely helps to have the fan running but it will just go back up when its turned off.
That's why the most effective way to lower radon levels is to install a radon mitigation system that is made up of a fan inside a pipe that runs 24/7 to keep air moving and keep levels low

Hope that helps
