Versailles, KY: what's different here
Versailles sits about 13 miles from Lexington, roughly a 19-minute drive by car via the main highway, so a Lexington-based pro can reach the area quickly. Kentucky's state radon office in Frankfort, reachable at 502-782-2782, oversees radon work across the region. Homeowners in Versailles should use the same certification standards as anywhere in Kentucky: only state-certified contractors may perform radon mitigation work.
Who can legally perform a radon mitigation system inspection in Versailles?
Kentucky law prohibits anyone from conducting radon measurement or mitigation after January 1, 2013 without the proper certification. A mitigation contractor must be certified and maintain certification with a board-approved proficiency program. Ask any pro you speak with for proof of their Kentucky certification before work begins.
Does the state inspect radon mitigation system installations near Versailles?
Yes. Kentucky law allows the Cabinet to inspect mitigation system installations and measurement locations to confirm the work follows required procedures. The Cabinet may also examine records as part of its oversight of radon work. Homeowners can verify a contractor through the state radon office at radon.ky.gov or 502-782-2782.
What should a radon mitigation system inspection in Versailles include?
Kentucky rules treat post-mitigation verification as part of regulated radon work, so the system should be checked through required post-mitigation measurement. The inspection should confirm the fan and piping work as installed and that the setup follows state procedures. A Kentucky-certified contractor can perform both the check and any follow-up measurement.
How much does radon mitigation work cost around Versailles?
A Lexington-area cost guide puts the average mitigation system between $1,200 and $3,000. The radon fan itself adds about $30 to $300 per year to the energy bill, since an active fan draws 100 to 300 watts continuously.

How do I verify a radon contractor before an inspection in Versailles?
Kentucky's radon contractor registration requires an initial $500 fee, a $500 biennial renewal, and a background check, so registered pros have cleared state screening. You can confirm a contractor's standing through the state radon office at radon.ky.gov or 502-782-2782. Also ask for proof of general liability insurance, which Kentucky requires.
