DAYCARE vs. Single-Family Mitigation

Daycare 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 daycare radon mitigation. Selecting a firm with extensive commercial experience can be pivotal in achieving a problem-free installation of a cost-efficient, effective radon system.

Radon Mitigation FAQs for Daycare Facilities

Below are commonly asked questions regarding radon mitigation in daycare environments. For further details, please get in touch with our team.

Radon mitigation systems for daycares can be tricky. Radon mitigation firms that only occasionally work with daycares may design a system that isn’t as cost-effective and negatively affects the building’s look. Perhaps more importantly, they can make mistakes that could delay the process, incur cost overruns, increase occupant exposure, increase insurance or litigation liabilities, add maintenance costs, or shortened system lifespan. DuPage Radon Contractor’s team is exceptionally well-trained when it comes to working in daycares, and we can deliver the quality results you deserve.

Radon is an invisible, odorless, cancer-causing gas. Over time it can impact any occupants exposed to it, but it is especially harmful to children, whose noses are closer to the ground and lungs are still forming. Protection from radon can truly save lives and reduce the organization’s insurance and litigation exposure.

To mitigate radon, a sub-slab suction system is installed to intercept soil gas before it enters the structure. This involves drilling through the foundation to reach the substrate, where a network of PVC piping is connected to a specialized exterior fan. This fan operates continuously to draw gas upward and exhaust it safely above the roofline. While this mechanical suction is the standard, some complex cases may require supplementary HVAC modifications or heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) to ensure proper air exchange.

We execute our installations efficiently to minimize disruption, coordinating with the daycare’s schedule to ensure a seamless process. Evening or weekend installations are available. Barricades and protection screens can be utilized to protect occupants. Unmarked trucks or un-uniformed installers can be utilized to reduce noticeability.

Installation times vary but are completed efficiently to ensure a quick transition to a safer space.

After installation, radon testing is recommended to verify the radon mitigation system’s effectiveness. Moving forward, we recommend testing every two years – or using a continuous monitor – to verify the ongoing integrity and performance of the mitigation system.

Radon systems rely on the porosity and connectivity (between foundation areas) of the building’s substrate layer to maintain high efficiency levels. Blueprints give information on both of these qualities, sometimes enabling great cost savings by facilitating a reduction in the number of systems or suction points needed. It also helps better identify possible fan locations, impacting aesthetics.

Common locations include daycares, nurseries, childcare facilities, kindergarten centers, pre-schools, and other early learning environments.
