What do you have to do to install the radon system?

We have to core through the basement floor, dig out approximately 10 gallons of gravel or dirt, to create a suction pit to draft air. From that point we run piping from the suction pit to the exterior of the house and then run electrical for the radon fan to be installed onto the piping. We run PVC Piping all the way up the gutter line so the gases are pumped safely out to the exterior of the home.

Why does the crawl space have to get encapsulated?

When it comes to dirt or gravel, air escapes from the crawl space easily, that contains the radon gases. The point is to encapsulate the gases to pump them from inside to outside of the houses. This also helps to eliminate odors/smells.

Is the radon fan noisy? Can you hear it inside of your home?

No, not typically. The fan/system runs quietly.

Is my house safe with radon gases underneath it?

As long as the mitigation is installed and working properly, it is safely extracting the gases from the house to the exterior which removes an hazards that may be associated with it.

What is radon and why is it dangerous?

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that forms naturally from the breakdown of soil and rock. It can enter homes through foundation cracks and openings, and long-term exposure to elevated radon levels has been linked to serious health risks, including lung cancer. Testing is the only way to know if it’s present in your home.
