Radon Mitigation FAQ

Radon Mitigation Cost
The cost depends on your home’s construction. Newer homes are usually simpler, while older homes (pre-1990s) may need extra suction points or larger fans. Our average complete installation—including electrical and post-mitigation testing—runs about $1,600. Unlike some companies, we use only Schedule 40 piping, stainless steel hardware, and complete electrical connections for lasting performance.
What maintenance is required?
Our systems are designed to be virtually maintenance-free. The only component that may eventually need replacement is the fan motor, typically after 10–20 years. When the time comes, a replacement averages around $400. All other parts are built for long-term durability.
How much does it cost to run a radon system?
On average, the system costs about $3 per month to operate continuously (based on $0.13/kWh electricity rates). That’s less than a cup of coffee for year-round protection.
How long will the system need to run?
The system is designed to run 24/7 for consistent protection. In special cases, we can install programmable timers, but continuous operation is strongly recommended for maximum safety.
How long does installation take?
Most installations take 4–6 hours and are completed in a single day. More complex setups, such as homes with multiple foundation types or crawlspaces, may take longer.
What other benefits do radon systems provide?
In addition to removing radon gas, our systems improve overall indoor air quality. They reduce humidity by removing up to 2 gallons of water vapor per day, which helps control mold, mildew, and odors. They also vent other soil gases and VOCs before they enter your home, creating a cleaner, healthier living space.
Is radon really dangerous?
Yes. Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second leading cause overall, according to the EPA. It is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas, which makes testing the only way to know if your home is at risk. Long-term exposure can be deadly, but mitigation reduces levels permanently and safely.
Can I test for radon myself?
Yes, there are DIY radon test kits available, and they can give you a quick snapshot of your home’s levels. However, professional testing provides more accurate results, especially for long-term monitoring or when preparing for a real estate transaction.
Will a mitigation system affect my home's appearance?
We design systems to blend with your home’s layout as much as possible. Exterior vent pipes can often be placed along the back or side of the home, and interior piping is routed discreetly through basements, closets, or utility areas. Our goal is always effective mitigation with minimal visual impact.
Will a radon system increase my home’s resale value?
Yes. Having a certified mitigation system in place is seen as a positive selling point. Buyers gain peace of mind knowing radon is under control, and it can make the selling process smoother if radon testing is required during inspection.
Does radon only affect basements?
No. While basements and crawlspaces often have the highest radon concentrations, the gas can travel through the foundation and spread throughout the entire home, including upper levels. That’s why testing should always be done in the lowest livable level and mitigation systems are designed to protect the whole house.
Are radon levels worse in winter?
Yes, radon levels often rise in the winter. When homes are sealed tightly to conserve heat, less ventilation allows radon to build up indoors. This is why year-round testing or long-term monitoring provides the most accurate picture of radon exposure.

Types of Radon Mitigation Systems

Sub-Slab Depressurization (SSD)

The most common and effective solution for basements and slab-on-grade homes. A PVC vent pipe and specialized fan create suction under the foundation, drawing radon out from beneath the slab and releasing it safely above the roofline. Cracks and openings are sealed to prevent entry, and post-install testing ensures optimal performance.

Sub-Membrane Depressurization (SMD)

Designed for crawlspaces, this system uses a heavy-duty plastic membrane to cover exposed soil. A fan then creates suction beneath the barrier, pulling radon out before it can enter the home. This method is highly effective for homes with dirt or gravel floors.

Sump/Drain-Tile Depressurization (DTD)

In homes with sump pumps or drain-tile systems, the existing pit and piping can be adapted to vent radon. A fan connected to the sump or drain-tile network pulls gases from beneath the foundation and exhausts them outdoors. This is a cost-effective and efficient solution for homes with existing water management systems.

Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV)

For certain homes or commercial spaces, direct ventilation may be the best option. HRVs bring in fresh outdoor air while exhausting indoor air and recovering much of the heat energy in the process. They improve air quality, reduce humidity, and provide a steady flow of clean air—often used when traditional sub-slab or sub-membrane methods are not practical.
