What should I do today if my radon level is back up to 4.8?

The EPA says a reading of 4 pCi/L or more calls for a qualified mitigator to inspect the existing system and estimate the cost of adding or repairing an active fan system. Do not ignore the reading. Ask a certified pro to inspect the system and retest the home first.

Why did my radon levels rise after the system was installed?

A radon system depends on a working fan and sealed, intact piping to pull gas from under the slab. A failed fan or a leak in the pipe can let levels climb again. A qualified professional can check the fan and piping to find which one is the cause.

How do I verify a new contractor before hiring them?

Kentucky law bars anyone from doing radon mitigation without the appropriate certification. Check the Kentucky Radon Office at radon.ky.gov or call 502-782-2782. Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance, plus references and experience on similar work.

What happens after the repair?

Kentucky requires any system repaired or altered on or after January 1, 2013 to meet the applicable mitigation standard operating procedures. Post-mitigation measurement must be done by a measurement contractor, so ask who will retest your home after the work.

What to do next

Retest the home with a radon test kit or measurement contractor to confirm the 4.8 pCi/L reading before any work starts.
Verify any pro's certification at radon.ky.gov or by calling the Kentucky Radon Office at 502-782-2782.

Quick answers

Why did my radon levels go back up?

A radon system can lose effectiveness when the fan fails or the piping leaks. A qualified professional should inspect the existing system and retest the home to find the cause.

How much does it cost to fix a radon fan?

A sub-slab depressurization system typically costs $900–$1,600 installed, and the EPA says most homes can be fixed for about the same cost as other common home repairs. Your exact repair price depends on what the inspection finds, so confirm it in your quote.

Do you offer warranties on repairs?

Lexington Radon Pros is a free referral service and does not perform or warranty the work. Ask the pro you hire about their warranty terms in writing.

Should I replace the whole system or just the fan?

The EPA guidance says a qualified mitigator should inspect the existing system and estimate the cost of adding or repairing an active fan system. Whether a fan repair or full replacement makes sense depends on that inspection.
