Versailles, KY: what's different here
Versailles sits about 13 miles from Lexington, roughly a 19-minute drive by the main highway, so Lexington-area radon crews regularly work there. Woodford County homes sit on Kentucky soil where radon can move up through foundations, and levels can stay high if a system was sized or sealed poorly. Kentucky law has required certification for anyone doing radon measurement or mitigation since January 1, 2013. The state radon office in Frankfort keeps the list of certified pros.
Why radon levels won't go down after a system install?
If radon levels won't go down, the fan may be undersized, the pipe may have leaks, or the slab may have open paths the suction can't reach. A 48-hour follow-up test after installation is standard practice in the Lexington area, so ask whether one was done. Energy use matters too: a fan drawing 100 to 300 watts continuously can add about $30 to $300 per year to your bill, so a properly set-up system should run efficiently and still pull levels down.

How much does fixing stubborn radon levels cost in Versailles?
A mitigation system in the Lexington area, which includes Versailles, averages $1,200 to $3,000. If radon levels won't go down with an existing system, the repair cost may be lower than a full new install. Ask the pro to price the diagnosis separately from any new equipment so you only pay for work you need.
How can I verify a radon contractor's Kentucky certification?
Check the contractor through the Kentucky state radon office, listed at radon.ky.gov with a phone number of 502-782-2782. The state Department for Public Health in Frankfort maintains the certified professional list. Kentucky has required certification for radon measurement, mitigation, and lab analysis since January 1, 2013, so any pro working on your home should appear there.
What to do next
- Run a 48-hour follow-up test to confirm the levels and when they were measured.
- Verify the contractor's certification at radon.ky.gov or by calling 502-782-2782.
- Ask for a written quote that separates diagnosis of the existing system from new equipment.
