When should I install a radon mitigation system?

A radon mitigation system is a series of pipes that pulls radon from the ground below your home and airs it out above the building. We’re here to help you understand if you may want to install a system in your home this year.

If your home tests high for radon

If your home tests high for radon, you should get a radon mitigation system installed as soon as possible. Prolonged radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, and installing a system and reducing your exposure can save lives. While there are various levels of radon where action may or may not be necessary, if your home tests at 2.0 pCi/L or higher, you should call a radon mitigation company near you to see your options. If you are in Utah and are unsure if your home needs a system, you can call our team and we can walk you through the process of making a decision that fits your family’s needs.

If you’re building a new home in an area with high average radon levels

Did you know a radon mitigation system can be installed while a home is constructed? It’s true! If you live in an area with high levels of radon, such as Utah, installing a system while you’re building your home can save you time, money, and your future health. Our team can help you understand your options for radon mitigation in new construction so you can proactively protect the health of your loved ones.

If you want to increase the value of your home

Radon mitigation systems can increase the value of a home because buyers can rest assured that they may not face a future radon issue. If you install a system in your home, even before your home tests high, you can proactively protect your loved ones and add value for future homebuyers. Real estate agents are performing radon tests during the buying and selling process at a growing rate, so it can be helpful to get ahead of the curve and have an extra perk on your home’s listing.
