Understanding Radon Mitigation in Norwalk

Radon mitigation involves the reduction of radon gas concentrations inside homes. This is primarily achieved through sub-slab depressurization (SSD), a process designed to prevent radon entry by creating negative pressure beneath the foundation. A typical system includes a suction pit for radon collection, connecting pipes, and a fan to vent the gas outdoors.

Explanation on how a Radon Mitigation System Installed on Residential Home Exterior works
How does mitigation work?

Expert Radon Mitigation Installation Techniques

Mitigation can be divided into three parts:

Suction Pit

A suction pit is created by removing about three five-gallon buckets of soil from beneath the slab, providing an access point for the system to draw out radon gas.

PVC Piping

A PVC pipe is inserted into the suction pit and extends upwards, connecting to the exterior of the home, often through the attic or an exterior wall.

Radon Fan

A specially designed radon fan is connected to the vent pipe, typically in the attic, garage, or outside the house. The fan continuously pulls radon gas from beneath the foundation and vents it outside.

Frequently Asked Questions about Radon Mitigation

Here are answers to the most common questions we receive in Norwalk. If you need more information, feel free to reach out!

In many cases, yes, a single well-placed suction point and fan can depressurize the entire sub-slab area of a home. However, homes with complex foundation layouts, multiple additions, or areas where sub-slab communication is poor may require multiple suction points or even separate systems. A diagnostic test during the assessment phase helps determine whether one system will be sufficient. Adios Radon’s thorough pre-installation evaluation ensures every system is designed to provide complete protection for your entire home.

Not necessarily. Depending on the layout of the home and the location of the suction point, the pipe can sometimes be routed along the exterior of the home rather than through the interior. Exterior routing is often preferred when it is feasible, as it minimizes the impact on the home’s interior aesthetics and reduces the length of pipe running through conditioned space. Our team will assess your home’s layout and discuss routing options with you during the estimate to find the best solution for both performance and appearance.

Yes, radon mitigation systems can be installed year round, including in cold Iowa winters. The core installation work happens inside and beneath the home, so outdoor temperatures have minimal impact on the process. Some exterior pipe work may require additional care in freezing conditions, but experienced technicians know how to handle winter installations effectively. In fact, installing a system in winter (when homes are sealed up and radon levels tend to be at their highest) is an excellent time to address the problem.

Yes, radon mitigation systems can be installed in homes with finished basements, though the process may require a bit more planning around existing walls, flooring, and finishes. Technicians work carefully to minimize disruption to finished surfaces while still ensuring proper system placement and effectiveness. In some cases, pipe routing may run through a utility room, closet, or along an exterior wall to avoid impacting finished living spaces. Our experienced team is well-versed in working in finished basement environments and will discuss the plan with you before any work begins.

A high-quality, flexible sealant such as polyurethane caulk or hydraulic cement is used to seal the area around the pipe where it penetrates through the foundation slab. The goal is to create an airtight seal that prevents radon from bypassing the system and entering the home through the pipe opening. Proper sealing also maximizes the system’s suction efficiency by ensuring the fan’s energy is directed entirely beneath the slab. Attention to detail at the sealing stage is a hallmark of a quality installation.

Iowa’s elevated radon levels are largely due to its underlying geology, particularly the presence of uranium-rich soils and glacial deposits that cover much of the state. As glaciers retreated thousands of years ago, they left behind materials with relatively high uranium content, which naturally decays into radon over time. This geological history, combined with Iowa’s climate – which encourages homeowners to keep their homes sealed for much of the year – creates conditions for radon to accumulate at significantly higher levels than in many other regions. The statewide average of 8.5 pCi/L speaks to the scale of the issue across the entire state.

Testing and
Verification

After the system is installed and functioning for 24 hours, we test the property again to ensure radon levels are adequately reduced. If for any reason radon levels aren’t low enough, we will implement additional measures (more slab penetrations, upsized radon fan, multiple systems, etc) as required to yield the results we’re looking for.

Follow-up
Service

We offer post-installation support to ensure the system operates optimally over time.
