Overview

Radon Mitigation in Minnesota

Radon mitigation lowers indoor radon, usually with a sub-slab depressurization system: a fan that draws soil gas from under the foundation and vents it above the roofline. We test first, and when a home tests at or above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L we coordinate the installation through our radon mitigation partners, licensed or certified as each state requires, then retest to confirm the system works.

Questions

Common questions.

When does a home need radon mitigation?
The EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or higher and considering it between 2 and 4 pCi/L. Radon is common in both Minnesota and Iowa, so test every home, and treat a high result as a routine fix rather than a reason to walk away.
How does a mitigation system work?
Most systems use sub-slab depressurization. A pipe runs from beneath the basement floor or slab, a fan pulls soil gas out, and it vents above the roof. Cracks and openings in the foundation are sealed to make the system more effective.
Can mitigation be arranged during a home purchase?
Yes. Test during the inspection window. If the result is high, it is common to negotiate the installation as part of the sale, and we coordinate it through our licensed mitigation partners and retest afterward.
How do I know the system is working?
A follow-up radon test after installation confirms the level dropped. The system also has a manometer, a U-shaped gauge on the pipe, that shows the fan is pulling a vacuum. Retest every few years and after major changes to the house.
