What kind of system do pros install?
Professional radon mitigation in Kentucky is commonly a sub-slab depressurization system. It uses a pipe and fan to draw radon from beneath the foundation before it enters the home. Ask the pro to explain how the system will be routed through your home.
What radon level means you need mitigation?
The EPA action level for radon is 4 pCi/L. Kentucky sources advise fixing a home if the confirmed level is 4 pCi/L or higher. Radon can still pose a risk below 4 pCi/L, so lower levels may also be worth reducing.
Why is Lexington a radon concern?
Kentucky sources identify Lexington as a market with elevated radon risk. The Kentucky Geological Survey at the University of Kentucky measured soil radon gas levels across the Bluegrass region in 2025. Local research and monitoring continue to shape radon awareness in the area.
How do you confirm a home has a radon problem?
Testing is the only way to know whether a home has a radon problem. Kentucky and EPA guidance both stress this point. Test before you request a quote so the pro can size the system to your results.
What to do next
- Test your home first, since testing is the only way to confirm a radon problem.

- Ask the pro for proof of Kentucky radon certification and insurance before work starts.
