Professional Radon Mitigation

Radon mitigation reduces indoor radon levels by controlling how radon gas enters and accumulates in a home. Systems are designed based on the structure of the building, foundation type, and measured radon levels. The goal is to lower radon concentrations and improve indoor air quality through proven mitigation methods.

How Radon Mitigation Works

Radon mitigation systems typically work by creating a controlled pathway for radon gas to be collected from beneath the home and safely vented outdoors before it can enter living spaces.

Common components may include:

  • A vent pipe system routed from beneath the slab or crawlspace
  • A continuously operating radon mitigation fan
  • Sealing of accessible openings that contribute to radon entry
  • Proper exterior discharge above the roofline

System design varies based on site conditions and construction details.

Types of Mitigation Systems

Depending on the home, mitigation may involve one or more of the following approaches:

  • Sub-slab depressurization (most common for slab foundations)
  • Crawlspace depressurization or soil gas collection
  • Improved vapor barrier coverage where applicable
  • Targeted sealing of penetrations and gaps

No two homes are identical; mitigation is site-specific.

What Mitigation Can — and Cannot — Do

Radon mitigation is intended to reduce radon levels. Actual results vary.

Important considerations:

  • Radon levels can fluctuate due to weather, soil conditions, and building characteristics
  • No specific radon level or reduction can be guaranteed
  • Post-installation testing is recommended to evaluate system performance
  • Ongoing monitoring helps confirm long-term effectiveness

When Radon Mitigation Is Recommended

Radon mitigation is commonly recommended when:

  • Elevated radon levels are confirmed by testingn testing
  • A home is being prepared for sale
  • Radon levels remain elevated after initial corrective steps
  • Long-term testing indicates ongoing radon presence

Next Steps

If radon testing indicates elevated levels, a site evaluation helps determine the most appropriate mitigation approach for your home.
