He estimates that about 20-25% of homes tested have a severe problem requiring immediate action, while the average home has five to eight issues that could lead to immediate felt impacts and reduced long-term disease risk.

But the average home has five to eight issues where immediate action is going to lead to an immediate felt impact for the folks that live there, along with a decreased risk of long-term disease.
