Basement Radon Mitigation

Basements are a common focus for radon testing and mitigation because the building is in direct contact with soil and foundation openings can provide pathways for soil gas.

Basement Radon Testing

A basement test can identify the radon concentration in the occupied or lowest appropriate area of the building. Testing strategy should follow the requirements for the property and purpose of the measurement.

Basement Mitigation Systems

Depending on the foundation, a mitigation system may use sub-slab depressurization, suction points, vent piping, and an active fan to move soil gas outdoors.

Finished vs. Unfinished Basements

Finished spaces can affect where piping and equipment can be installed. An appropriate design balances radon reduction with the existing structure and use of the basement.
