Radon Mitigation
Residential Radon Mitigation
Radon is a radioactive gas that can seep into your home through foundation cracks, crawl spaces, and other radon pathways in the soil. Left unchecked, it can accumulate in breathing zones, increasing the risk of lung cancer over time. If a radon test shows elevated levels in your home, it’s essential to take action with a professional radon mitigation contractor who understands the science, safety standards, and local building codes for effective remediation.
Our Radon Mitigation Process
Assessment and Planning
Every mitigation project begins with a thorough evaluation of your home’s structure, radon entry points, and existing ventilation. We use radon detectors and review Radon Data Portal readings (when available) to determine the right system design.
Installation of the Mitigation System
Radon mitigation solutions often include soil suction or active depressurization systems, vent pipe installations with radon fans, and sealing of cracks or penetrations where radon can enter. These mitigation methods may also be integrated with drain tiles or sump systems for added protection. All installations meet or exceed National Radon Safety Board standards and comply with local building codes.
Post-Mitigation Testing & Verification
After installation, a short-term test is performed to verify that radon levels are reduced to below the EPA action threshold. We also provide guidance on system maintenance and periodic retesting.

Frequently Asked Questions – Commercial Radon Services
1. How long does it take to install a radon mitigation system?
Most systems can be installed in one day, although larger or more complex homes may require additional time.
2. Will sealing cracks alone fix my radon problem?
No. While sealing cracks helps reduce radon entry, it’s rarely enough to bring levels below EPA limits without a proper active soil depressurization system.
3. Do mitigation systems require maintenance?
Yes. You should check the radon vent fan regularly, monitor system gauges, and retest your home every 2–3 years.
4. Can radon come from my water supply?
Yes. While less common, radon in water from wells can contribute to indoor levels and may require separate treatment.
5. Is a passive system effective in all homes?
No. Passive systems are most effective in new Radon-Resistant Construction homes. Older homes with higher levels usually require an active system with a fan.
