How long does a radon mitigation installation take?

A typical straightforward sub-slab installation is often completed in a day, sometimes in just a few hours. More complex jobs can take two days. Plan for the longer timeline if your home has a crawl space or finished basement.

When should I fix my home for radon?

EPA says if a home tests at 4 pCi/L or more, a qualified mitigator should estimate the cost of upgrading to an active system. EPA also says most homes can be fixed for about the same cost as other common home repairs.

How do I confirm the job worked?

EPA says a follow-up radon test should be done within 30 days of installation, but not sooner than 24 hours after the fan has been operating. A 2-7 day measurement checks the system's initial effectiveness.

What to do next

Test your home first, since EPA says a result of 4 pCi/L or more calls for mitigation.
Verify the contractor's NRPP or NRSB certification through the Kentucky state certification list before hiring.
Ask each quote to list the system type, foundation work included, and the total installed price.
Schedule a follow-up test within 30 days of installation, starting at least 24 hours after the fan runs.
