Reducing Radon Levels Safely at Home

Indoor radon exposure is a major cancer risk, second only to smoking in the U.S. Homes with radon levels of 4 pCi/L or above require mitigation.

Hire a Professional
Radon reduction demands specific expertise and tools. Attempting DIY mitigation can inadvertently raise radon levels, creating greater hazards. Seek a certified radon technician through your state's radon office, ensuring they have the necessary certification, liability insurance, and offer a guarantee to reduce radon below 4 pCi/L.

Assess Your Foundation
Your home's foundation type influences the mitigation approach:

• Crawlspace: An open, unfinished space under the first floor.
• Slab-On-Grade or Basement: A foundation with concrete poured at ground level.
  Homes with both a crawlspace and basement might need combined mitigation strategies.

Selecting a Radon Reduction System
Consider your home's initial radon level, installation, and maintenance costs when choosing a system. The EPA recommends solutions that not only lower radon levels but also prevent its entry, like soil suction methods.
