Radon mitigation for schools and churches

School & Church vs. Single-Family Mitigation

School and church 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 school or church 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 Schools & Churches 

Below are the frequent questions we receive about radon mitigation in schools and churches. For more detailed information, feel free to contact our team directly.

Radon mitigation for churches and schools can be tricky. Radon mitigation firms that only occasionally work with churches or schools may design a system that isn’t as cost-effective or that doesn’t flow well with the building’s aesthetics. 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, ensuring fewer hiccups along the way.

Radon is invisible and odorless, posing a hidden risk in large, highly occupied spaces like schools and churches, and because radon comes up from the ground and children are shorter, they breath in more radon than adults.
Also, those that are sitting get a bigger dose than those standing. Proper radon mitigation protects all occupants – and especially vulnerable populations, like children – from long-term health risks, keeping everyone safer and reducing the organization’s insurance and litigation risks.

Radon mitigation is achieved by suctioning out the soil gas within the layer of substrate under the building’s floor. That is accomplished by coring through the floor or foundation into the substrate level, then connecting the piping to a fan outside the building that discharges it (also through piping) to above the roof level. The system runs 24/7. In rare situations, HVAC adjustments or air exchange systems are also needed.

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

The duration of your radon mitigation installation varies depending on the building’s size and complexity. Our team works diligently to complete projects swiftly and effectively, with as little disruption to building occupants, as possible.

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.

Each radon mitigation system is customized to match your institution’s unique architectural features and usage patterns, ensuring optimal performance and aesthetics.

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.

Radon mitigation is common in churches, synagogues, cathedrals, basilicas, and other houses and places of worship. In addition, radon mitigation is necessary in pre-schools, kindergartens, elementary schools, middle schools, junior highs, high schools, trade schools, institutes, universities, colleges, seminaries, conservatories and other educational facilities.
