REDUCE RADON.
RECLAIM
PEACE OF MIND.
A radon reduction system should fit the building it protects. We assess your property, explain the options and plan the work around its foundation and entry pathways.

Verify the result.
Radon mitigation reduces indoor radon concentrations. A common approach uses a fan and vent pipe to draw soil gas from below the home and discharge it outdoors above the roof, reducing the amount that enters living spaces.
Radon Eraser designs and installs reduction systems around the property. Existing test results, foundation layout, access and possible pipe routes all inform the assessment.
Bring your report.
We will explain the options.
Consider reduction between 2 and 4 pCi/L. Lower levels still carry some risk.
If you have only an initial short-term test, discuss the appropriate follow-up. Keep the full report, dates, device details and test location available.
Need a test first? ↗A system planned
around your home.
Before installation, we discuss the proposed work and what your property needs. Ask about the pipe route, fan location, electrical requirements, access, expected timetable and post-installation testing.
Your quote should explain the project scope and any applicable warranty or performance terms. Confirm those details with the team for your specific project.
Assess the building.
Review the radon result, foundation areas and accessible pathways. Additional diagnostics may help determine the system design.
Install the agreed system.
Complete the planned collection and venting approach, with appropriate sealing, labeling and system indicators.
Test after installation.
Follow-up measurement establishes the resulting indoor radon level. Keep the report and ongoing system guidance for your records.
Different foundations.
One careful assessment.
The space below your home affects how soil gas can be collected. A slab, basement and crawlspace may need different approaches, and some buildings combine them.
This overview explains common concepts. The final design depends on an assessment of your property.
Beneath the concrete slab.
Sub-slab depressurization uses suction beneath the slab to collect soil gas and vent it outdoors. The number of collection points depends on the building and air movement beneath it.
Keep the system
part of your home care.
A reduction system needs continued operation and periodic attention. Keep the installer’s instructions, contact details and post-mitigation test result in an accessible place.
A system indicator and an indoor radon measurement tell you different things. A pressure gauge can indicate suction in the pipe; it cannot tell you the radon concentration inside the home.
- Keep an active system's fan running as instructed.
- Check the warning device or pressure indicator against the installer’s guidance.
- Contact the installer if the system alerts, changes unexpectedly or appears to stop operating.
- Retest to confirm indoor radon levels. EPA suggests at least every two years for homes with mitigation systems.
- Discuss retesting after significant remodeling or changes to the lowest occupied level.
Understand
the work ahead.
Will sealing cracks alone solve the problem?
Sealing can support a mitigation system, but EPA does not recommend it as the sole approach. It is difficult to identify and permanently seal every entry route.
Can I just open windows?
Ventilation may temporarily lower radon, but the level can rise again when windows close. It does not provide the same lasting approach as a properly designed reduction system.
How much does mitigation cost?
The cost depends on the building and the work required. Foundation layout, number of collection areas, access, vent route and electrical needs can affect the quote. Contact us for a property-specific assessment.
How long will installation take?
Timing depends on the agreed scope and site conditions. Our team will discuss the expected schedule and any preparation needed before the work begins.
Can you work with an existing system?
Contact us with the installation details, your concern and any recent radon results. We can discuss an assessment and the appropriate next step.
Does a running fan prove the radon level is low?
No. The fan and system indicator relate to system operation. A radon measurement is needed to determine the indoor concentration and confirm the outcome.
What about a commercial or multifamily property?
Tell us the building's use, layout and existing measurements. Larger or mixed-use properties may require a different assessment, measurement plan and mitigation design.
