Radon Mitigation System Installation
Protect Your Home and Family from Radon
Radon is a naturally occurring gas that you can’t see, smell, or taste. It comes from the breakdown of uranium in the soil and can build up inside homes. The EPA has identified radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. That’s why reducing radon levels isn’t just a smart choice—it’s an important step to keep your family safe.
At BreatheWell Radon Solutions, our specialty is installing radon mitigation systems that quickly and effectively lower radon levels in your home.
What Is a Radon Mitigation System?
Think of a radon mitigation system as a “ventilation highway” for your home. It’s designed to pull radon gas from beneath your house and safely vent it outside before it can enter your living space.
The most common type is called a sub-slab depressurization system.
Here’s how it works in simple terms:
- We drill a small hole through the concrete slab or basement floor.
- A PVC pipe is installed to reach into the soil below.
- A special radon fan pulls radon gas up through the pipe.
- The gas is released safely above your roofline, away from windows and doors.
Once installed, the system runs continuously and keeps radon levels low day after day.
Why Professional Installation Matters
While radon mitigation may sound straightforward, proper installation is critical. A poorly designed system won’t reduce radon effectively, and it may even waste energy or create moisture issues.

Radon Mitigation System FAQ
How quickly can a radon mitigation system be installed?
Most homes can have a complete system installed in just a single day. Once it’s in place, it begins lowering radon levels immediately.
Do mitigation systems actually make a big difference?
Absolutely. A well-built system can cut radon levels by as much as 99%, often reducing them to well below the EPA’s recommended action level. We always confirm the results with follow-up testing.
What is the typical price for a radon mitigation system?
Costs vary based on the design of your home and its foundation, but most systems are reasonably priced compared to the protection and added home value they provide. We’ll give you a clear estimate before any work begins.
Is there any upkeep required after installation?
These systems run on their own with very little maintenance. The radon fan is the main part that may eventually need replacement, and it typically lasts 8–10 years. If service is ever needed, we provide full support.
Will the system be loud or change the look of my house?
No. The fan is installed outside and operates very quietly, while the piping is placed in a way that blends into your home’s exterior. We design each system to be both effective and low-profile.
