Radon System Maintenance & Repair

Radon mitigation systems are designed to keep your home safe by reducing radon gas to acceptable levels. Like any home system, they work best when properly maintained. Over time, parts can wear out, fans may need replacement, or piping connections can loosen. At BreatheWell Radon Solutions, we make sure your system continues doing its job year after year, giving you confidence that your family is breathing clean, healthy air.

Why Maintenance Matters

A radon system runs quietly in the background, often 24/7. Because it’s always working, small issues can build up without you noticing. A fan that slows down or a vent pipe that develops a leak can cause radon levels to creep back up. Routine maintenance ensures your system is still protecting your home at the level it should. Think of it like checking the smoke detectors—simple upkeep that protects your family’s health.

Common Issues We Fix

Our team has the experience to diagnose and repair all types of radon systems. Some of the most common maintenance and repair needs include:

• Radon fan replacement – Fans typically last 5–10 years. When they fail, your system stops pulling radon from beneath the home.
  
  
• Pipe sealing and repairs – Cracked or loose joints can let radon seep back inside.
  
  
• System performance checks – Ensuring the pressure gauge (manometer) shows the right readings.
  
  
• Condensation or drainage issues – Moisture buildup can damage fans and reduce system efficiency.
  
  
• Alarm and monitoring devices – Testing or replacing monitors to keep you informed.
  
  

No matter the problem, we troubleshoot quickly and provide clear solutions.

Signs Your System May Need Service

Not sure if your system needs attention? Here are a few signs to look for:

• The fan is unusually loud, rattling, or completely silent.
  
  
• The manometer (U-shaped gauge) shows no pressure or unusual readings.
  
  
• You notice condensation inside the piping.
  
  
• Radon test results show levels rising again after previously being reduced.
  
  

If you see any of these, it’s time to have your system inspected.

Our Maintenance Process

When you call BreatheWell, we start with a full inspection of your radon system. We check airflow, fan operation, piping, seals, and monitoring devices. If repairs are needed, we explain exactly what’s wrong and provide straightforward options. In most cases, we can make repairs on the spot.

We also recommend periodic radon testing even with a working system. This ensures your system continues to perform as expected and keeps your home within EPA guidelines.
