"I wanted to have the fan for a Radon mitigation system installed in the attic area above my garage, but knew that access from my basement to the garage would require routing of the mitigation pipe above a dropped ceiling in the finished portion of my basement. Only two of the four companies that I'd contacted were willing to quote a garage attic fan installation, and SWAT Environmental's quoted cost was lower than that of their competitor. As a consequence, I suggested that SWAT send a representative to review my installation to ensure that the cost that they'd quoted for a garage attic fan installation wouldn't need to be adjusted. SWAT's representative, Jayme, arrived at my home at the scheduled time, reviewed the installation and agreed that a garage attic fan installation could be accomplished for the quoted price, but indicated that I'd have to call the office to schedule an appointment because his schedule (and those of other installers) was already booked. I called and was able to schedule an appointment for Jayme to perform an installation a couple of weeks later. Despite a later than expected arrival, Jayme was able to complete the majority of the installation (pipe routing, wiring and fan installation) before he had to leave. He returned to complete the installation (cover and seal the sump pump pit) about a week later when a second appointment could be scheduled. I initiated the post-mitigation Radon level test with the kit that had been left with me a week after the mitigation installation was completed and ran the test for five days. The report from the test lab indicated that the radon level in the "living space" area of my basement had dropped from a high reading of 8 pCi/L (in pre-mitigation tests) to 1.2 pCi/L and this post-mitigation value was confirmed by comparison with a Radon monitor that I'd purchased through amazon.com that indicated a "long-term average" of 1.24 pCi/L for the same five days. It's apparent that the Radon mitigation effort in my home was successful. I'd have no concerns about recommending SWAT Environmental to others for Radon mitigation."

Radon Detection and Reduction FAQs, answered by experts

The lifespan of a radon mitigation system depends on the type of system and its maintenance. With proper care, a system can last for many decades. Passive systems tend to last longer as they have fewer components that require replacement. Active systems, which have more moving parts like fans, generally have a shorter lifespan. For instance, water filtration devices and active pressurization systems require more frequent maintenance. While the system as a whole is durable, the radon fan in an active system typically has a lifespan of 5 to 10 years and will need to be replaced. As long as the fan is working, the mitigation system should function correctly.

No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is naturally present everywhere, it is impossible to avoid entirely. The average radon level in homes across the United States is 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking action to reduce radon levels if your home's test results are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.

The cost for a radon mitigation system typically ranges from $800 to $1,500, with an average around $1,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the size of your home, the severity of the radon issue, and the type of system required. Your home's foundation type also significantly impacts the cost. For example, sealing and ventilating an unfinished basement might cost around $4,600, while encapsulating a crawl space without a foundation slab can range from $1,500 to $15,000.

There are steps you can take as a homeowner to remediate radon yourself. While a radon reduction professional can make the biggest impact in your home, you can make efforts to improve radon levels on your own by sealing cracks, increasing ventilation, and testing for radon regularly.

Ideally, no one will live in a house with elevated radon levels, as prolonged exposure increases the risk of serious health issues like lung cancer. However, homes with radon can be made safe through mitigation systems, such as active soil depressurization. Testing for radon regularly and addressing high levels helps ensure a safe living environment.
