I've had to "mitigate" radon to close a house sale before. Cost for a professionally installed mitigation system is between 800-2000 dollars for a sub slab depressurization system (basically a PVC pipe with a fan inside it). 5 pCi/L is above the threshold for mitigate but not really high.

There is an established correlation between radon and lung cancer but the direct causal link has not been established. According to the EPA at 5pCi/l your risk of cancer is only slightly higher than dying in a car crash.
