"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

Radon is the number one non-smoking cause of lung cancer in the United States, but it can cause some other concerning side effects in the meantime. If you have a raspy voice, chest pains, trouble breathing, difficulty swallowing, or any of the above, don’t hesitate to perform radon testing and install a mitigation system as soon as possible.

The natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water can cause radon to appear in a home. The gas seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, walls, or floors, as well as through gaps around pipes or construction joints. Radon levels are influenced by soil composition, building materials, and ventilation. Poorly sealed or airtight homes can trap radon, allowing it to accumulate.

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.

No, air purifiers are not an effective way to reduce or remove radon. Radon is a radioactive, inert gas that cannot be filtered by standard air purifiers, which are designed to capture particulates like dust and mold. While an air purifier can improve indoor air quality by removing other pollutants, it should not be relied upon for radon. The only effective solution for high radon levels is a dedicated radon mitigation system.

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.
