"I had a radon mitigation system installed on Wednesday. The reason I went with your company was because of Ashley. When she met with us to go over the results of our testing and propose a solution I was greatly impressed with her knowledge of the system she was proposing. I had a number of questions and received a couple of other quotes but I always came back to Ashley. And I'm glad I did. Then there was Luke. I couldn't have asked for a better installer. He totally explained what he was going to do and did it expertly. I had a number of things that I asked him to change in the garage and he gladly did it even though it meant it was going to take longer to do. The main change was redirecting the PVC line to come out on the opposite side of my garage roof. That meant he had to climb up on to my steep garage roof in almost darkness. He did a great job and I would highly recommend Lifetime to anyone contemplating a radon mitigation system"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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 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.

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 average radon mitigation system uses about 876 kWh of electricity per year, although the exact amount of electricity used will vary depending on the size of the radon fan. Once the system is installed, the annual increase to your energy bill could range from $30 to $300 per year, again depending on the size of the fan.
