Comprehensive Radon Mitigation

Radon mitigation involves reducing the concentration of radon indoors, typically through sub-slab depressurization (SSD). This method creates negative pressure beneath the house's foundation, preventing soil gases from entering the living space. A standard radon mitigation system includes a suction pit under the foundation, connected pipes, and a radon fan to expel the gas outside safely.

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.

Precision Radon Mitigation: Our Proven Approach

Our process for Radon Mitigation

1

Initial
Assessment

Our state certified mitigation installers analyze your home to evaluate options for where the mitigation system can be installed.

2

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 Issues in Williamsburg

Williamsburg is susceptible to high radon levels due to its geological characteristics, which include uranium-rich soils that naturally release radon gas. With its climate, featuring both humid and cold seasons, radiological conditions in Williamsburg homes may see fluctuations in radon levels, necessitating regular testing and professional mitigation.

Neighborhood Spotlight: Historic Downtown and Marengo

Neighborhoods such as Historic Downtown Williamsburg and nearby areas like Marengo often show radon levels that surpass EPA safety thresholds, especially in older homes. Implementing mitigation measures in these communities is crucial for ensuring residents’ safety and well-being.

Initiatives and Public Awareness

Efforts in Williamsburg focus on increasing awareness regarding radon exposure risks, with support from state-backed programs encouraging regular radon testing and maintenance of high indoor air quality standards. Homeowners in Williamsburg are advised to conduct radon tests bi-annually, particularly during significant seasonal changes, to prevent excessive radon exposure.

Your Radon Mitigation Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions about Radon Mitigation

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

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas caused by the breakdown overtime of uranium in the soil beneath your home. It’s colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it undetectable without specialized testing. Inhaling radon over extended periods increases cancer risk, particularly for smokers.

A mitigation system should be installed by a certified radon professional to ensure it is effective and meets safety and quality standards. Certified radon mitigation contractors are specifically trained and certified in radon mitigation techniques. To view a list of certified radon professionals in Iowa, go to NRPP’s site.

The cost of mitigation can vary depending on several factors, including the home’s size and layout and the installation’s complexity. However, here is a general cost range to give you an idea:

The typical price for a standard mitigation system ranges from $1,800 to $2,300.

Complex systems: Homes with crawlspaces, multi-level foundations, and basements (or the lowest level of the home) that are 2,000 square feet or larger will usually cost more as additional materials and labor are needed.

A mitigation system is a permanent fixture in your home so hire a certified and reputable company.

Mitigation systems are installed with one end drawing the radon gas beneath your home’s foundation and the other expelling it safely into the outside air near or at the roof level. Your home’s layout will largely determine how the pipes will be installed. There are two main pipe routing methods: interior and exterior. Both interior and exterior mitigation systems begin at the home’s lowest level, which could be a basement, slab on grade, or crawlspace and expel the radon gas to the outside air. 

Interior radon mitigation systems

An interior mitigation system, discreetly installed if the home’s configuration allows, allows piping to run from the suction point through a garage, closet, or chase and exit through the roof. Looking from the outside of the home, you likely wouldn’t be able to tell a mitigation system has been installed, as the only visible portion is the exhaust point at the roof, which looks like any other air circulation pipe. Interior systems tend to be slightly more expensive as they require additional labor. 

Exterior radon mitigation systems

If the home’s configuration does not provide a reasonable pathway from the suction point to the attic, an exterior mitigation system can be installed. In these cases, the piping runs from the suction point to ground level and then exits the home to the outside, where it continues to the roof. Exterior systems are slightly less expensive as they require less labor than interior ones. 

For a radon mitigation system to work correctly on a home with a concrete foundation, a 4-6 inch circular hole is drilled to access the dirt beneath the foundation where radon gas collects. As long as the drilling is done properly by a certified radon professional, the hole does not present an issue.

Generally, radon fans will produce anywhere from 50-70 decibels, or about the same noise a refrigerator makes. Some describe the sound as “white noise” and don’t notice it much. This of course depends on how close you are to the fan. For example, it would be difficult to hear a radon fan from 10-15 feet away, but could easily be heard just a few feet away. If you are sensitive to noise, it is worth asking the radon mitigation installer if there’s a reasonable way to install the fan in an area that is away from a bedroom or other area where a good amount of time is spent.
