How does a 2.4 radon test showed few months ago and now shows 30?

During the term of the contract on the purchase of a house have had a radon test done 3 days ago by a professional in 09/2006. The test showed that radon is 2.4 pic / L. We bought the house and had another test short term, made two weeks ago (we had an extra-mail in the test kit and was curious). This test shows the level 30! Radon levels vary greatly or more likely that a test is wrong? In October, she had put in a bathroom in the basement concrete work is needed to run the drain line. This may be the reason? We get another test to confirm the level, but are very concerned that someone may have altered the initial test before they bought the house (the house was occupied by sellers at the moment). Thank you.

This two distinct possibilities. The first test may have been wrong. It has been my experience that households with greenhouse gas low testers take very seriously. I recently had the fire in my home test for CO and natural gas. They turned to their handheld devices, and immediately he shouted, and then very quickly started dialing. I know how these devices, and told me to get a reading. The firefighters exchanged knowing glances between them and tried to talk to me as I knew nothing. "They always do …" When I asked to see the counters have refused to leave me. Al next day I had an independent certification body to enter and read the labels on our oven as hazardous. Firefighters were reading and get a lie! If firefighters who are supposed to protect us can not take this kind of thing seriously, you can trust? Just because you pay a professional does not mean it will be more comprehensive. It sounds cynical, but I like now. The other factor is that the tests were made in early May when the windows were open. If your house was for the winter and the air does not move that promote reading. But the amount you mentioned, I suspect it may be a combination of these two factors.
