Why does a radon fix matter when selling?
A high radon test gives a buyer a reason to ask for a fix or walk away. Having the system installed and tested before listing removes that question. EPA guidance says a home with a high test is usually worth fixing because the repair cost is typically in the low thousands.
How much does it cost compared to other home repairs?
EPA states that, for most homes, radon reduction costs no more than installing a new hot water heater or painting the house. The general EPA range is $500 to $2,500. Kentucky pricing usually falls between $1,300 and $2,500.
What affects the final price?
Home size, foundation type, crawlspaces, number of floors, and the number of suction points or fans all change the cost. Ask the pro to explain each of these in the written quote. A larger or multi-level home may need more than one suction point.
How do I confirm the system works?
EPA recommends a 2 to 7 day measurement to test the initial effectiveness of a new system. Follow-up testing should happen within 30 days of installation, but no sooner than 24 hours after the fan has been running. Keep the results to show buyers.
What to do next
- Run a short-term radon test first, and keep the report to confirm a high reading.
- Verify the contractor's NRPP or NRSB certification through the Kentucky state radon program's certified list.
- Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before signing anything.
- Request a written quote that lists home size, foundation type, and number of suction points.
