    You should if something can be done about it. 5.1 is horribly high. Dangerously high.

    Yes, get a system to vent out your basement/ house and that should do it. They aren't to expensive.

    ANY amount of radon in your home will increase you and your family's chances of getting lung cancer. The "action level" in the US is 4.0 -- anything higher than that, the EPA recommends you take action. You might not be able to sell your home if the radon levels are too high.
