Introduction: Protecting Your Home and Family from Radon
Radon is an invisible, odorless, radioactive gas that can accumulate in homes, particularly in New England. In towns like Exeter, Kingston, Hampton, Dover, Stratham, Portsmouth, and Brentwood, older homes with basements or crawlspaces are especially at risk.
Professional radon mitigation systems are the only reliable way to reduce radon exposure and protect your familyโs health. One of the most common questions homeowners ask is: How much does radon mitigation cost?
Average Cost of Radon Mitigation
- Starting Cost: Most radon mitigation systems start around $2,000 for standard sub-slab suction installations.
- Factors That Increase Cost:
- Home Size and Layout: Larger or multi-level basements require more piping, fans, and labor.
- Soil Type and Local Geology: Certain New England soils may require additional venting or specialized installation techniques.
- Number of Suction Points: Homes with multiple radon entry points may need more complex piping systems.
- Integration with Waterproofing or Crawlspace Encapsulation: Ensuring systems work together without compromising radon airflow may slightly increase cost.
- Fan Type and Monitoring Systems: High-quality fans and continuous radon monitors may add to upfront expenses.
High-End or Complex Systems:
- For larger homes, homes with finished basements, or cases where radon levels are extremely high, total mitigation costs can exceed $4,000โ$5,000.
- Systems that integrate with waterproofing or sump pumps may also increase complexity and pricing.
Why Professional Installation Matters
DIY or poorly installed systems can:
- Fail to reduce radon effectively
- Allow radon to escape into living spaces
- Interfere with other home systems like sump pumps or waterproofing
- Void insurance or violate local building codes
A trained professional ensures the system is correctly designed, installed, and tested, giving homeowners peace of mind.
