Reduce radon gas exposure with a proper mitigation system
The Piedmont geology underlying much of Northern Virginia and Maryland is associated with elevated radon potential, and the EPA recommends mitigation above 4 pCi/L. A mitigation system draws radon gas from beneath the slab or crawl space membrane and vents it safely outside before it can build up indoors.
Common problems we solve
- A radon test result at or above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L
- An unsealed crawl space membrane that a radon system needs to seal against
- No existing mitigation system in a home with known elevated radon risk
- An older radon fan or system that may no longer be performing correctly
Benefits of a properly designed solution
Sub-slab or sub-membrane depressurization is designed around your home's foundation type, not a generic layout.
A properly sealed vapor barrier improves the effectiveness of a crawl space radon system.
A functioning system runs continuously to keep radon levels below the action threshold, not just at the moment of testing.
A documented, working mitigation system is often required or expected during DMV home sales.
Our four-step process
- Inspect: Document moisture, drainage, structure, and site conditions.
- Explain: Review findings with photos and straightforward priorities.
- Install: Complete the agreed scope with careful home protection.
- Verify: Test components, clean the work area, and complete a walkthrough.
