"We hired George to inspect our home, a new construction. He came twice, once during the pre-drywall stage and once for the final inspection. During the pre-drywall state, he brought a colleague with him who used to work in new home construction as a second set of eyes at no additional cost to us. He also conducted a radon test. Altogether, George is very knowledgeable and thorough. I followed him for the final inspection and asked about a million questions, and George always gave full, detailed answers. You can tell he values the service he provides to new homeowners and takes pride in his work."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

If high radon levels are detected, steps include sealing entry points, installing a mitigation system, and retesting the air regularly to ensure reduced levels.

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.

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.

The fan that pulls the radon out of the air needs to run continuously, so you may see an increase in your electric bill once you install the mitigation system. Additionally, you may see an increase in your heating or cooling bills, as the fan can cause some loss of hot or cool air.

Mitigation reduces radon levels, protecting your health and complying with safety standards.
