Our Seamless Six-step radon mitigation system Installation Process

In addition to scope assessment, regulation compliance, diagnostics, system design and OM&M, the steps of the actual installation involve:

1

Prepared Arrival

A pre-installation review of the system’s design ensures that proper parts, equipment, and manpower arrive at the site.

2

Review Procedures

On-site procedure and process is reviewed with the client and team members.

3

Review Safety Tactics

Any unusual or non-standard safety procedures are reviewed with team members.

4

System Installation

Our experts install the suction points, piping, sealing, fan(s), and discharge.

5

Quality & Compliance Review

Double-checks, and sometimes diagnostics, ensure a high-quality installation and regulation compliance.

6

Maintenance & Monitoring

Information about the system is accumulated to complete the maintenance guide.

Radon Mitigation: Your Questions Answered

Here’s a collection of common questions about our radon mitigation services. Have questions about scope assessment, regulation compliance, diagnostics, system design, and OM&M? Explore our site or reach out to us today.

Addressing radon during new construction is generally more cost-effective and less disruptive than retrofitting an existing building. Piping, suction points, and sleeves can be installed before slabs are poured, and fan locations can be planned into mechanical spaces. This reduces the need for core drilling, patching, and rerouting around finished spaces.

However, retrofits are very common and can be highly successful when designed and executed properly. If new construction is underway or planned, integrating radon-resistant features early is strongly recommended.

There is some level of disruption, but a well-planned project aims to keep it minimal. Most work is done in basements, mechanical rooms, and utility areas, with limited access needed to occupied spaces. Core drilling through slabs and running vertical piping may require temporary access and noise, but these activities can be scheduled during off-hours. Clear communication with tenants and staff about timing and areas affected helps manage expectations. The mitigation contractor should provide a schedule and phasing plan that aligns with your operational needs.

Radon is a known carcinogen and long-term exposure increases the risk of lung cancer, even at relatively low levels. Employees, tenants, and visitors can spend many hours per day inside commercial buildings, so exposure times can be substantial.

In some industries, such as schools or healthcare facilities, vulnerable populations may be present for long durations. High radon levels can also create liability, regulatory risk, and reputational damage for building owners and operators. Addressing radon helps protect occupant health, supports compliance, and demonstrates due diligence.

Radon mitigation is beneficial for a wide range of properties, including multi-family residences, schools, churches, daycares, municipals, retail spaces, industrial warehouses, offices, senior living facilities, dry cleaners, and laundry facilities. Essentially, any building with elevated radon levels or those located in high-risk areas will benefit from radon mitigation services. Ensuring safer indoor air quality is important for the health and well-being of all building occupants.

Hospitals and clinics have strict requirements for infection control, air quality, noise, and reliability, all of which influence radon mitigation design. Work must be coordinated carefully to avoid disrupting patient care, imaging equipment, labs, or sterile environments. Ventilation and pressurization strategies are already complex in healthcare, so radon systems must integrate without compromising these controls. Redundancy, robust monitoring, and clear O&M procedures are often prioritized due to the critical nature of these facilities. Phased implementation and extensive stakeholder coordination are common.

Many commercial buildings have a mix of slab-on-grade, basements, crawl spaces, and possibly structural slabs over voids or parking. Each foundation type may require a different mitigation strategy, such as sub-slab depressurization for slabs and sub-membrane depressurization for crawl spaces. Design needs to ensure that all sections are integrated, so you don’t solve radon in one area while leaving another unprotected. Sometimes separate zones with independent fans are created for different sections of the building. Detailed mapping and phased work help manage complexity and ensure full coverage.

Schools often have a mix of building ages, types, and foundation systems on a single campus, which complicates testing and mitigation. Because occupants are children and young adults, there is heightened sensitivity to health risks and public scrutiny. Work must be planned around the academic calendar to minimize disruption, often during breaks or summers. Clear communication with administrators, staff, parents, and sometimes boards or governing bodies is essential. Long-term monitoring and documentation help maintain community trust and compliance with education-related guidelines or mandates.

In the U.S., 4.0 pCi/L is commonly used as the action level at which mitigation is highly recommended. However, many organizations and health authorities suggest considering mitigation for levels between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L, especially in high-occupancy or sensitive environments like schools and healthcare facilities. For large facilities, you’ll look at both average levels and any “hot spots” that exceed the threshold. Even if only certain areas test high, a comprehensive mitigation plan is usually needed.

Radon is measured using certified test devices placed throughout the building, typically at breathing level in occupied areas. For commercial structures, a test plan is created that accounts for building size, usage patterns, and HVAC operation. For large or multi-tenant properties, you may test a percentage of similar rooms or zones based on standards or guidelines. Results are reported in picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m³), and compared to action levels set by authorities.

Starting the process with DuPage Radon is straightforward and simple. Contact us to schedule a free consultation wherein we will discuss your specific needs and evaluate your property.

Commercial vs. Single-Family Mitigation

Commercial and multi-family radon mitigation often involves significantly more complexity than single-family homes.

The added complexity can occur in regulatory compliance, building dynamics assessment (especially stack effect and HVAC impacts), paperwork processes, system design, the installation process, general issue avoidance, and maintenance guidance.

Only a small percentage of the Midwest’s radon industry professionals are fully skilled in commercial or multi-family mitigation. Selecting a firm with extensive commercial experience can be pivotal in achieving a problem-free installation of a cost-efficient, effective radon system.
