Nicholasville, KY: what's different here
Nicholasville is located in Kentucky, and like the surrounding areas, homes may require mitigation if radon levels exceed 4 pCi/L. The state radon office provides resources and verification for all radon work. The pros we refer operate under Kentucky state guidelines. These guidelines ensure that all mitigation work is performed safely and legally.
State Licensing for Radon Mitigation
Kentucky requires contractors performing radon-related services to be licensed by the state. Verification of these credentials should be done through the state radon office. This ensures that the pros we refer meet state standards.
Energy Impact of Radon Mitigation
A radon fan operation can add $30 to $300 per year to your home's energy bill. This is because an active fan continuously draws 100 to 300 watts. This is a factor to consider when planning your crawl space radon mitigation project.
Crawl Space Mitigation Preparation
Homes requiring crawl space radon mitigation may need a vapor barrier installed before depressurization. This preparation is a specific requirement for certain homes. A local pro can assess if this barrier is necessary for your property.
What to do next
- Check for radon levels above 4 pCi/L to determine if mitigation is needed.
- Verify that any contractor is licensed by the state and NRPP-certified.
- Ask the pro for proof of insurance and relevant certifications.
- Confirm if a vapor barrier installation is required before starting crawl space radon mitigation.
