Radon Mitigation
Quick Definition
Systems that reduce dangerous radon gas levels in homes, typically lowering levels by 90-99%
Radon mitigation involves installing systems to reduce radon gas concentrations in your home. The most common method is sub-slab depressurization, which prevents radon from entering through the foundation.
What You Need to Know
Professional mitigation systems are highly effective, typically reducing radon levels by 90-99%. The EPA recommends mitigation when radon levels exceed 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). Systems typically cost $800-2,500 to install.
Why It Matters for Your Home
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Long-term exposure significantly increases cancer risk for all family members. Mitigation systems provide continuous protection.
How Mitigation Works
Most systems use a fan and pipe system to draw radon from beneath the foundation and vent it safely outside. The system runs continuously with minimal electricity usage and requires little maintenance.
When to Get Professional Help
Always use EPA-certified radon mitigation contractors. They'll design the appropriate system for your home's construction and ensure proper installation and testing.
