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.

Yes, HVAC operation significantly influences building pressure and airflow, which in turn affects radon entry and distribution. Changing outside air ratios, exhaust fan schedules, or pressurization strategies can either increase or reduce radon levels. When designing mitigation systems, engineers consider existing HVAC operation and may recommend adjustments to support radon control.

After major HVAC upgrades, retesting radon is often recommended to ensure levels remain acceptable. Coordination between mechanical engineers and radon professionals is important.

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.

Typically, a durable membrane is laid over the crawl space floor and sealed around columns, walls, and penetrations, creating a continuous barrier. Suction points are installed beneath the membrane and connected to fans that draw radon-containing air from under the plastic and vent it outdoors. Access and working conditions in crawl spaces can be challenging, so careful planning and safety protocols are essential. In some cases, crawl space encapsulation with dehumidification is combined with radon-specific suction systems. The goal is to control both radon and moisture without compromising structural elements.

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.

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.

Radon levels can be similar, higher, or lower than nearby homes, depending on construction and ventilation. Commercial buildings often have more robust HVAC systems and different pressure dynamics, which can either mitigate or exacerbate radon entry. Basements, lower levels, and areas over crawl spaces or underground structures tend to be at highest risk. Because commercial buildings may have more complicated airflow patterns, pockets of high radon can exist in specific zones. Testing each building individually is the only reliable way to know actual levels.

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.

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.

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.

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. During this consultation, our experts will conduct a thorough on-site evaluation, gather necessary data, and design a custom radon mitigation plan. From there, we handle the installation and provide continuous support to ensure optimal system performance and compliance.

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.
