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.

While radon mitigation’s primary goal is to reduce radioactive gas, related measures can have side benefits for IAQ. Sub-slab systems often reduce infiltration of moisture, soil gases, and odors, which may improve comfort and reduce mold risks. Sealing foundations can also limit pathways for pests and particulates. However, mitigation should be balanced with proper ventilation to avoid unintended consequences like reduced fresh air. Radon control should be considered as one component of a comprehensive IAQ strategy.

Radon is most commonly a concern at or below ground level, but upper floors can be affected indirectly. Stack effect, elevator shafts, stairwells, and ductwork can transport radon from lower levels to higher ones. In very tall buildings, pressurization strategies and mechanical systems may create unique radon distribution patterns. It’s typical to focus testing on lower occupied levels, but some sampling of upper floors may be appropriate in complex buildings. A professional will advise on the right testing strategy for your specific property.

Underground structures can be significant radon entry points, so they’re carefully evaluated during design. Mitigation may involve sub-slab systems in the parking deck, ventilation adjustments, or dedicated exhaust and make-up air strategies. Engineers must ensure that radon is not simply shifted from the garage into occupied floors above. Fire and life-safety codes, as well as vehicle exhaust management, all factor into system design. Proper sealing of penetrations and control of pressure relationships between levels is especially important in these scenarios.

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.

It’s common practice to retest soon after installation (usually within 30 days) to confirm that target levels have been achieved. After that, many organizations retest every 2–5 years or whenever major renovations or HVAC changes occur. High-occupancy or high-liability environments, like schools or healthcare facilities, may choose more frequent verification.

If any system alarms, fan failures, or noticeable changes in building operation occur, interim testing is advisable. A documented retesting schedule demonstrates proactive management and can be part of your environmental compliance program.

Sub-slab depressurization (SSD) is a system that lowers the air pressure beneath the building slab so radon-laden soil gas is drawn into a piping network instead of into the building. Fans then exhaust this air safely above the roofline, where it rapidly dilutes. In commercial buildings, SSD often involves multiple suction points, large-diameter piping, and high-capacity or multiple fans. Engineers perform diagnostics to confirm that the suction field extends under all critical floor areas. Properly designed SSD systems are highly effective, durable, and relatively low-maintenance.

Routine maintenance generally includes periodic visual inspections of piping, fans, seals, and warning devices. Fans are designed for long service life but should be checked for noise, vibration, or performance changes and replaced when needed. Many systems have manometers or digital sensors that indicate whether the system is operating correctly – these should be checked regularly by facilities staff.

Scheduled professional reviews every few years can include diagnostic checks and optimization. If building use or HVAC operation changes significantly, a reassessment and potential system adjustments are recommended.

Mixed-use buildings present overlapping requirements from both residential and commercial standards. Testing should account for all occupied spaces, including ground-floor retail, offices, and upper-story apartments. Mitigation is typically designed to protect the entire structure, with careful attention to pressure relationships between uses and floors. Coordination with both property management and residential associations or boards is necessary. Documentation often needs to satisfy multiple codes and stakeholders, including housing, building, and possibly health authorities.

Design starts with a detailed site evaluation that includes reviewing building plans, foundation types, and mechanical systems. Engineers map out slab sections, expansion joints, penetrations, and existing sub-slab features like drain tile or sumps. Diagnostic testing is performed to understand pressure field extension, which indicates how effectively suction or pressure can be distributed. Based on this data, the designer determines the number and location of suction points, piping routes, fan sizing, and discharge locations. Compliance with building codes, fire codes, and mechanical standards is integrated into the final design.

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.
