About the service
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that rises from the soil beneath your home's foundation and, with prolonged exposure, is considered one of the leading causes of lung cancer in non-smokers. If a test or inspection during a property purchase showed a reading above EPA standards of 4 pCi/L, I will design and install a permanent radon reduction system that will bring levels into compliance and provide peace of mind for your family.
I work as a licensed radon mitigation specialist and have experience with various foundation types: slab-on-grade, basement, and crawl space. Each project begins with a foundation inspection to determine the optimal air intake point — usually a single hole in the slab from inside the home — as well as a diagnostic soil permeability check beneath the slab, so the system is designed correctly the first time, not by guesswork.
The installation itself follows standard sub-slab depressurization technology: PVC pipe is routed from the point beneath the slab upward through a chase or along the exterior wall, connected to a fan specifically designed for radon systems, and vented above roof level, away from windows and doors, so the exhaust gas safely disperses outdoors. I seal all penetrations through the slab, sump pump covers, and foundation cracks through which soil gas can bypass the system — a leaky slab is the most common reason for poor performance in installed systems.
Every system includes a U-tube manometer so you can visually confirm the fan is operating and creating the proper negative pressure, and I complete the work with a follow-up radon test after installation — without this step, I don't consider the job finished, because only a post-mitigation measurement confirms real results. I route and paint the pipe whenever possible so it doesn't detract from your home's exterior or interior.
Cost depends on foundation type, fan placement, and pipe run length — after an on-site visit, I provide a fixed price in writing with no additional charges during the work. I hold the necessary state license, and work is performed according to AARST/NRPP protocols regarding placement, labeling, and performance verification, so results will pass any future inspection when selling your property or municipal inspection without issues.
If a radon test shows elevated levels, a home sale deal is held up by a radon contingency, or you simply want peace of mind in a home where you've lived for years — contact me, I'll schedule you for a diagnostic, and in most cases can install the system this week.
