Frequently Asked Questions
ABout Radon mitigation

The EPA recommends testing every two years if your home does not have a mitigation system. If you’ve recently made changes to your home – like renovations, added living space in the basement, or changes to your HVAC system – you should test again promptly. Homes with an active mitigation system should be retested every two years or whenever the system’s performance indicator shows a potential problem.

Yes, radon testing during a home sale or purchase is strongly recommended and is increasingly standard practice. Buyers benefit from knowing the radon level before purchasing, while sellers can address elevated levels proactively to protect the transaction. If levels are at or above 4 pCi/L, the seller typically arranges for mitigation prior to closing, or the cost is factored into the sale negotiation.

Testing is the only way to measure radon levels accurately. Professional companies use specialized equipment to detect the concentration of radon present in your home. Conducting regular radon testing is essential for early detection and effective risk mitigation.

Radon originates from the natural radioactive decay of uranium, which is present in varying concentrations in nearly all soils and rocks. As uranium breaks down, it produces radium, which then decays into radon gas. This gas moves upward through the soil and can enter buildings through cracks in foundations, construction joints, and gaps around service pipes.

Radon extracted by the mitigation system is vented directly to the outdoor atmosphere through the exhaust pipe, typically above the roofline or well away from windows and doors. Once diluted in the large volume of outdoor air, the radon concentration drops to negligible levels and poses no meaningful health risk to occupants or neighbors. The exhaust point must be carefully positioned per EPA guidelines to prevent re-entry into the home.

While DIY installation is technically possible, the EPA and most state agencies strongly recommend using a certified radon mitigation contractor. Improper installation can actually increase radon levels, create backdrafting of combustion appliances, or introduce other air quality issues. A certified professional will design, install, and test the system correctly, and most state programs require licensed contractors for systems installed as part of real estate transactions.
