Radon takes the "Path of least resistance". If your levels decreased
after your flooring was installed, then the Radon was able to find
another path, which is good. Something similar happened to me in my
old house in Lansdowne many years ago after they discovered all those
'hot houses'. If I were you, I would test it once a year to be on the
safe side.
