Versailles, KY: what's different here

Versailles sits about 17 miles from Lexington, roughly a 22-minute drive by main highway. Many homes there rest on slab foundations, where radon can move directly through the concrete. If a test shows 4 pCi/L or higher, mitigation is recommended. The pros we refer serve Versailles from the Lexington area.

How long does slab foundation radon mitigation take in Versailles?

Per EPA guidance, mitigation systems are usually installed in 1 day. Some homes need more time depending on the layout and slab conditions. Ask the contractor for a schedule in your written quote.

What radon level calls for mitigation in Versailles?

The EPA recommends taking action when a home tests at 4 pCi/L or higher. Test your slab home first, then share the result with the contractor. The result helps determine the system design.

How do I verify a radon contractor's Kentucky certification?

Check the contractor through the Kentucky state radon office at radon.ky.gov or call 502-782-2782. Kentucky requires contractors performing radon-related services to be licensed by the state. Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance too.

Does a radon mitigation fan raise my electric bill?

An active radon fan draws 100 to 300 watts continuously, so operation can add about 30 to 300 dollars per year to your energy bill. Factor that ongoing cost into your budget. Ask the contractor about fan efficiency.
