Secure Your Home with Expert Radon Mitigation

Comprehensive Radon Mitigation

Radon mitigation is critical for lowering indoor radon levels, typically achieved through sub-slab depressurization (SSD). This system creates negative pressure beneath the home's foundation, preventing radon gas from entering the living areas. A standard radon mitigation setup includes a suction pit, a network of pipes, and a radon fan to securely expel 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 West Liberty. If you need more information, feel free to reach out!

Radon mitigation fans are designed for quiet, continuous operation and most homeowners barely notice them running during day-to-day life. The sound level is typically comparable to a quietly running appliance – a gentle hum that quickly fades into the background of normal household noise. Fan placement in garages, utility rooms, or along exterior walls also helps minimize any audible presence within the main living areas. If your fan ever becomes notably louder, develops a rattle, or changes its sound, that is a signal worth having checked out by a certified technician.

The manometer is a small U-shaped tube filled with colored liquid that is mounted on the radon mitigation pipe and serves as a visual indicator of whether the system is actively creating suction beneath the slab. When the fan is working properly, the difference in pressure between the sub-slab air and the indoor air causes the fluid in the two sides of the tube to sit at unequal levels. If the fluid ever equalizes – meaning both sides sit at the same height – that is a clear sign that the fan has stopped or the system has lost suction. Checking your manometer briefly every few weeks is an easy and effective way to maintain daily confidence that your system is protecting your home.

Opening windows introduces fresh outdoor air and can temporarily dilute indoor radon concentrations, but it is not a viable long-term solution for managing radon risk. In Iowa’s climate, windows are closed for the majority of the year due to cold winters and hot, humid summers – meaning a ventilation-only strategy would leave your home unprotected for most of the calendar year.

Even when windows are open, airflow patterns within a home are unpredictable and cannot guarantee adequate dilution of radon at all points in the structure. A continuously operating mitigation system is the only reliable method for maintaining consistently safe radon levels regardless of season, weather, or window habits.

Radon mitigation fans are remarkably energy-efficient – most models consume roughly the same amount of electricity as a standard incandescent light bulb, typically between 20 and 90 watts depending on the fan model and size. Running a radon fan continuously for a full year typically costs somewhere between $25 and $75 in electricity depending on your local utility rates. This is an extremely modest ongoing cost when compared to the health protection the system provides. The energy investment in running a radon mitigation fan is one of the best health-to-cost ratios available to any homeowner.

Radon does not discriminate based on a home’s age… New construction is just as vulnerable to elevated radon as a home built fifty years ago. In fact, newer energy-efficient homes that are tightly sealed to reduce heating and cooling costs can sometimes accumulate radon at higher concentrations than older, draftier homes simply because there is less natural air exchange. A newly built home on uranium-rich Iowa soil has the same underlying radon source as any other home in the area. Every home – new, old, or somewhere inbetween – should be tested, and the results should drive any decision about mitigation.

The installation of a radon mitigation system involves drilling one or more holes through the foundation slab and routing a PVC pipe through the home’s structure to the exterior – a process that is far less invasive than most homeowners expect. Our technicians work carefully and cleanly, containing dust from drilling and cleaning up thoroughly before leaving. The pipe itself is neat and professional in appearance, and the finished installation typically draws very little notice from guests or future home buyers. At Adios Radon, we treat every home with the same care and respect we would want shown in our own.

System
Design

We customize a plan based on the home’s structure and layout, and owner preferences to ensure maximum effectiveness and minimal cosmetic impact to your home.

3

BEGIN
Installation

Our trained technicians execute the installation with precision and care, utilizingbest practices every time.

4

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.

5

Follow-up
Service

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

6

Customer
Education

We empower homeowners with knowledge on system maintenance and the importance of routine radon testing every two years.

Radon Challenges in West Liberty

West Liberty’s geological features can lead to significant radon levels due to the presence of uranium in the soil, which naturally decays and releases radon gas. The local climate, featuring humid summers and cold winters, can cause indoor radon levels to vary, highlighting the necessity for regular testing and mitigation.

Neighborhood Focus: Downtown West Liberty and Atalissa

Radon levels in areas like Downtown West Liberty and nearby Atalissa often surpass recommended safety thresholds, particularly in older homes that may lack modern construction standards. Implementing effective radon mitigation measures is essential for maintaining residents’ safety and health in these communities.

Community Engagement and Awareness

West Liberty is proactive in promoting awareness about the dangers of radon exposure through community programs and state-backed initiatives encouraging regular testing and enhancements in air quality. Residents are advised to conduct radon tests bi-annually, especially during significant seasonal changes, to control and mitigate exposure risks effectively.
