Installing a radon fan is a critical step in mitigating radon gas buildup in basements and crawl spaces. Typically, a contractor drills a hole through the foundation slab, inserts a PVC vent pipe, and mounts the fan either in the attic or on the exterior wall. The fan creates continuous suction that draws radon-laden air from beneath the house and exhausts it safely above the roofline. Proper sealing around the pipe entry point and a dedicated electrical circuit are essential for the system to…

Sub-slab depressurization is a method used to mitigate soil gas, like radon, by creating a vacuum beneath a building's concrete slab. A pipe is inserted through the slab, and a fan gently pulls air from the soil, redirecting harmful gases outside before they can seep into your home. This system relies on a well-sealed foundation to work effectively, and the fan runs continuously. It's a practical, low-profile solution often recommended by radon professionals for reducing indoor exposure to pote…

I grab a small monitor, place it in the lowest lived-in area for a few weeks, then mail it off for lab analysis. Knowing the results matters because long-term exposure can harm your lungs—yet it's a silent hazard you can easily fix once you measure it.
