Air first, then water if on a well
Test the air. If it is elevated and you are on a private well, test the water before assuming sub-slab work alone will solve it.

Stewartstown lies in southern York County, in an area of smaller boroughs and surrounding rural property. Housing includes an older borough core alongside newer development on what was previously farmland, and rural properties here are frequently on private wells.
For properties outside the borough's water service, the standard advice applies: test the air first, and if the result is elevated and the property is on a well, test the water as well. Waterborne radon is a genuinely separate problem with a separate solution, and diagnosing it after a mitigation system has already been installed and underperformed is an expensive way to learn that.
What Matters in Stewartstown
Rural lots, conventional mitigation
Sub-slab depressurization works the same on a rural property as anywhere else. Lot size does not change the system design.
Certification covers rural work the same way
Distance from town changes nothing about Pennsylvania's requirements. Any firm quoting testing or mitigation here should appear on the DEP Radon Division's certified list.
Retest after treating either pathway
If the air was mitigated and the well water was treated, confirm both. One retest covering one pathway leaves the other unverified.
