Typical Mitigation System installed by Mid America Radon
According to EPA
Guidelines, an active radon removal system is needed whenever
indoor radon readings are 4.0pCi/L or greater.
The
most popular and usually the most reliable method of reducing
radon in structures is called “Active Soil Depressurization”
or simply Subslab ventilation.
With this
method, a suction pipe is inserted through the basement floor slab
into the gravel or soil underneath the house. This vent pipe rises from the basement area and leads to
the exterior where the radon is vented to the atmosphere to
dissipate harmlessly.
The vent pipe
has an inline fan installed which produces suction under the floor
slab thereby greatly reducing radon levels in your home.
Costs usually range from $795 to $1,200.
A
single fan will typically reduce the radon levels in the
structure by 80-99%
