What You Need to Know About Radon Testing
Our quick and convenient scheduling ensures you can promptly set an appointment for radon testing at a time that works for you. Here, we install a continuous radon detector to collect data and plan another meeting to review the findings. During that time, they will print the radon test results and discuss them with you.
Steps to Take If Your Home Has High Radon Levels
If radon levels in your home are higher than 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends you seek radon reduction solutions. That is where Idaho Radon can help! We will custom design a radon mitigation system personalized to your unique situation:
- Depressurizing the soil beneath the structure prevents radon gas from moving through the house, addressing the stack effect or natural movement of air/radon in your home.
- We create a suction point(s) by drilling into the concrete foundation slab, basement floor, or surrounding earth. Then we connect a PVC pipe.
- Gas is vented through a pipe running through a fan in the attic or along the top of the home, expelling radon outside.
- Using a urethane caulking compound, our specialists seal all radon entry points, such as cracks, gaps, and openings.
- A final system analysis is performed to examine the fan and other key system details to ensure equipment performs correctly.
- We schedule a radon test within 30 days of the system installation, making sure the system is working.

Idaho Radon was contacted by a homeowner seeking information on the benefits of a vapor barrier system to reduce radon levels in her residence. An initial radon test revealed an average concentration of approximately 4.2 pCi/L—just above the EPA’s recommended action level.
The client expressed concerns regarding potential fan noise and the visual impact of the system. Idaho Radon addressed these concerns by explaining the quiet performance of the RadonAway RP145 fan, known for its low noise output. To minimize visual impact, the fan was strategically installed on the least visible section of the home — the rear of the west-facing side.
The home has a footprint of approximately 2,000 square feet, with a crawlspace divided into four sections by three interior stem/pony walls. The installation was completed in a single day, during which a 6-mil vapor barrier was placed and sealed across all crawlspace sections. The radon fan was installed on the exterior, and electrical connections were made to power the system.
Following system installation, a post-mitigation radon test was conducted, showing a dramatic reduction in radon levels to 0.4 pCi/L—a significant improvement and well below the EPA’s action threshold.
The client was extremely satisfied with the outcome, particularly the discreet fan placement, the absence of noticeable noise, and the enhanced safety and value added to her home. This house is a prime example of how Idaho Radon can successfully remediate your radon levels while providing peace of mind with a healthier home.
