Radon Mitigation Information

What is radon mitigation?

Radon mitigation refers to a set of techniques used to reduce indoor radon levels. The most common approach for residential homes is a sub-slab depressurization system, which uses a fan and piping to move soil gas from beneath the home to the outside.

What to expect from a mitigation project

• An initial visit to review the property and discuss the right approach.
• Installation of piping, a fan, and a monitoring device, typically over a day or two.
• A recommended startup period before the system is tested for effectiveness.
• A post-mitigation verification test to confirm the system is doing its job.

Choosing a mitigation professional

Mitigation should be performed by a qualified professional. Ask about their experience, the warranty on the system, and how they handle post-mitigation verification. Independent post-mitigation testing — separate from the installer — is a good way to confirm results.
