this usually brought the radon level down to an acceptable level in most cases.

My house was built in 1990 and has the same type of system. Only difference is its piped right out through the garage roof with a fan as opposed to an open vent.
The only problem with testing the radon is the levels will change if you open windows and allow air to enter the house. Levels will sometimes rise in the winter if the air isn't circulated due the windows being closed.
