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.

After purchasing an older home in Emmett, Idaho, the homeowners began a significant remodeling project with plans to make the property their home for at least the next 20 years. As improvements progressed, addressing the home's radon levels became an important part of creating a safer living environment for their family and young children.
Because the remodeling work was being completed in stages, Idaho Radon worked with the homeowners to approach the radon mitigation project in phases as well. This allowed the mitigation work and associated costs to align with the progress of the remodel rather than requiring everything to be completed at once.
The home's construction presented several challenges. As an older property, it had limited ventilation, and additional square footage had been added to the home, affecting the existing HVAC system. The foundation also included multiple areas that needed to be addressed: the basement, the home's original crawlspace, and an additional crawlspace created as part of the expansion.
Idaho Radon designed and installed a radon reduction system that addressed all three areas of the foundation. The original crawlspace was particularly challenging because of the limited room available to maneuver and perform the necessary mitigation work. Our system design accounted for these conditions while providing radon reduction coverage for the basement and both crawlspace areas.
Completing the radon mitigation system was one of the final pieces of the homeowners' remodeling project. With the work finished, the family was thankful to have addressed their radon concerns and to know they had taken another important step toward making their longtime home a safer place for their children.
