How Do You Install a Radon Mitigation System? 

Installation Performed the Right Way

If your home has dangerous levels of radon gas, you will need to have a mitigation system installed for your safety. 

When you choose to have a system installed, it's crucial to hire a licensed company to ensure your system is installed correctly and up-to-code. 

The Team at Radon Eliminator is licensed with The Ohio Department of Health and has the experience to install a removal system in your Independence home. 

1. The first step when installing a radon mitigation system is for the technicians to find a quality suction point.

To determine a quality suction point, the specialist will check for easy access, whether or not the location is aesthetically pleasing, and where the best outcome for success will be. 

2. When the suction point is found, the technician will drill a 5" hole in the sub-slab of the basement. The hole deploys the mitigation system.  

The technician will need to decide how large the "communication pit" needs to be. To help with this decision, they will need to sample the soil and complete a substrate material analysis. 

Determining the size of the communication pit is an important step for the overall outcome of the installation.

If the pit is dug too small, there will not be enough suction to suck the gas from beneath the sub-slab of the home.    

3. Next, the technician will decide the best location for the discharge point to exhaust the gas from the house. 

When deciding where the discharge point should be, the technician will need to make sure they do not choose a place where the gas has the opportunity for re-entry.  

4. After the discharge point has been located; the technicians can begin the pipe fitting process. The pipe base that goes directly into the ground will need to be sealed using a backer rod to fill the spatial gap and finished with industrial-grade caulk. 

5. Once the piping has been set, your radon mitigation technician will decide the pipe pathway for exiting the home. A chemical welding agent will connect the PVC piping to ensure no leaks in the piping system. 

6. Lastly, Your Radon Eliminator mitigation specialist can install the ventilation fan along with the pip pathway. The exhaust fan can either be connected on the outside of the home or, in some cases, inside the garage attic. 

The ventilation fan is used to draw the radon from beneath the sub-slab of the basement, through the piping system, and out into the atmosphere. 

How Will You Know If The Mitigation Installation Worked?

Once your system has been installed and all of the cracks and intrusion points have been sealed, the technician will complete one last check and leave a radon testing monitoring in the basement of your home for 72 hours. 

This test is left to ensure that the system is functioning properly and see if your radon levels have been reduced. 

If, for some reason, the levels have not dropped below the EPA recommended 4.0, our specialists will return and do whatever needs to be done to reduce the levels at no additional cost to you.
