PRECISION DIAGNOSTICS FOR OPTIMAL RADON MITIGATION

cOMMERCIAL Radon Testing & Diagnostics for Chicago suburbs & the midwest

At any given point in the radon mitigation process, some form of diagnostics may need to be performed to gather information about substrate porosity, sub-slab barriers, building dynamics, material emanation or HVAC impacts. DuPage Radon Contractors offers expert radon diagnostics services to quickly gather the needed information, enabling a truly informed system design and bid package.

Do I Need Radon Diagnostics or testing?

For some situations, no diagnostics are needed. But sometimes, radon diagnostics need to be performed, before bidding, during installation, or even post-installation.

For instance, in some areas, determining the substrate porosity may be the only method of accurately determining the needed size and quantity of radon fans, as well as the size and quantity of suction points for an ideal mitigation system.

Other diagnostics might be needed to determine gravel substrate barriers, the building’s stack effect, the HVAC effects on sub-slab depressurization, and any effects on non-soil radon sources. Again, all of this is to ensure that the most cost-effective radon mitigation system is designed. DuPage Radon Contractors has both the equipment to facilitate these diagnostics, as well as the cutting-edge knowledge and experience to conduct the diagnostics quickly and efficiently.

Radon Diagnostics:
Frequently Asked Questions

Discover more about our diagnostic and testing services through these frequently asked questions. Feel free to reach out for additional information.

Pre-bid diagnostics are recommended only in cases where the available information is inadequate to ensure the design of the most cost-effective mitigation system. Skipping this process can easily cost a business much more through the installation of an overly-conservative system (e.g. too many fans, too many suction points, etc.) to compensate for the lack of accurate information.

No, in many situations, the site visit and/or blueprint review is adequate to supply enough information to design an appropriately sized radon mitigation system.

Occasionally, yes, it is sometimes a separate, pre-bid package. More often, it is part of the bid price.

The type of testing needed can vary depending on the information that still needs to be obtained. The most common diagnostics involve testing how far (distance in feet) a given amount of under-slab suction extends. Less common diagnostics could include measuring materials for radon emanation or measuring the building’s stack effect under various HVAC and building conditions.

The information obtained from the diagnostics is vital to avoid dramatically oversizing a system. It can also be critical for predicting the needed number and size of fans, the number of suction points, and the pipe sizing. Occasionally, it is used to solve post-installation issues.

DuPage Radon Contractors has incredible skill sets in building science, commercial construction, and radon mitigation, along with necessary equipment to enable incredibly quick diagnostics. This deep understanding of the building dynamics can lead to significantly less expensive, yet effective, mitigation systems.

Sub-slab pressure field extension testing is typically accomplished with a proprietarily arranged set of specially equipped test fans, hoses, and gauges. Other testing may utilize blower doors, micromanometers, radon grab samplers, thermal cameras, infrared thermometers, Geiger counters, continuous radon monitors, macromanometers, and ground penetrating radar.

Situations vary, but DuPage Radon Contractors strives to be as unobtrusive as possible in performing any needed diagnostics.

Smooth Running radon Projects

Exceptionally
Equipped

Sub-slab issue avoidance and proper diagnostics often require expensive equipment. DuPage Radon Contractors has an unusually extensive array of resources, including ground-penetrating radar, blower doors, grab samplers, anemometers, continuous monitors, and more.

Regulation
Compliance Expertise

Regulation compliance can be tricky. DuPage Radon Contractors are experts at ensuring your radon system meets applicable state radon regulations, national standards, building codes, and/or mortgage industry rules.

Diagnostics services

Commercial and Multi-family 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.
