"We had 3 different contractors give us estimates. One didn't even come to our house, just gave us a quote over the phone. The first two both wanted to put the pipe in the basement utility room, which would have it running up the back of the house beside our deck. Roger Dahlby looked at that location, which would have the fan between and in close proximity to a propane shutoff valve and a central air conditioner. He said that that would be a code violation, which he would know since he helped write the codes. He suggested putting it in a basement closet which ran the pipe up the back of the house, out of sight. I offered that location to the other two contractors, and they refused. Roger showed up about an hour late and forgot to bring a ladder, but otherwise did a fantastic job. The work only took about 2-1/2 hours, was very clean and neat. He explained all the details of the work he did, and explained the warranty on the work clearly. The pipe in the closet is not in the way of anything, and once the clothes were put back in we can't hear the fan noise at all. The radon reading 2 days later was down to 1.3 pCi/L, well below the EPA limit of 4. He would not accept payment until proof of mitigation. We could not be happier with the work and the extra thought and care in placement. We are very impressed with Roger and his team."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

No, radon mitigation systems do not decrease home value or make a home harder to sell. In areas where homes experience similar radon exposure risks, a radon mitigation system is viewed as an improvement. Potential homebuyers often opt to buy a home with a radon mitigation system already installed to reduce the risk of cancer for their families.

Your radon fan needs to operate 24/7 to be effective. The only time the fan isn't operating is during its replacement. Radon levels in the home can increase within hours if the fan stops working or something obstructs the stack vent. Fortunately, radon systems require no downtime maintenance between fan changes.

The soil beneath your house is most likely what’s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it’s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn’t been through periodic radon tests, such as well water. Over time, the radon from the soil can inhabit other parts of your house like the foundation or plumbing.

The cost to replace a radon fan ranges from $300 to $600 for the fan itself, with installation adding an additional $200 to $500. Overall, the total cost for replacement can range from $500 to $1,100, depending on factors such as the fan model, home size, and local labor rates. If the fan is part of a larger radon mitigation system, the price may be higher.

Radon enters your home when warm air begins to rise and exits through the roof, creating a vacuum that pulls cooler air from under the foundation. Part of that air is radon, which is an invisible, odorless gas that develops naturally when radioactive particles are deep within the ground. Those particles usually come from decaying matter in soil and rocks.
