At this home in Farmington, New Mexico, elevated results from professional radon testing revealed the need for a customized radon mitigation system due to multiple additions and separate concrete slab sections within the structure. Because the home was built in phases with different slab pours, radon gas was entering through multiple foundation areas, requiring a more strategic solution. Our team installed two Active Sub-Slab Depressurization (ASD) systems on opposite ends of the home to effectively address each slab independently. By creating dedicated suction pits beneath each slab and installing high-performance radon fans, we ensured consistent depressurization across the entire foundation footprint. The vent piping was routed to optimize airflow and safely discharge radon gas above the roofline in accordance with EPA radon mitigation standards. Post-mitigation radon measurements confirmed a significant reduction in indoor radon levels, restoring safe air quality and providing long-term protection for this Farmington, NM residence.
No. In fact, newer homes can sometimes have higher radon levels because modern construction is more airtight. Radon comes from the soil beneath your home — not from the age of the house.
Yes. A mitigation system is often seen as a proactive improvement and can simplify future real estate transactions by eliminating radon concerns during inspections.
Radon is invisible and odorless — there’s no way to detect it without testing. Even homes next door to each other can have completely different radon levels. The only way to know is to test.
Most professional tests run for 48 hours to ensure accurate results. After testing, we review the findings with you and explain exactly what they mean for your home.
Most mitigation systems are installed in a single day. You can remain in your home during installation.
No. Modern mitigation systems are quiet and discreet. The vent stack is typically placed along the exterior of the home, and the fan operates with minimal noise.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and the #1 cause among non-smokers. Long-term exposure increases risk — which is why early detection matters.
Costs vary depending on your home’s layout and foundation type. After testing and evaluation, we provide transparent pricing before any work begins.
If radon levels exceed EPA recommendations (4.0 pCi/L), we design a mitigation system tailored to your home’s structure. Most systems reduce radon levels by up to 99%.
