How Long Does It Take to Install a Radon System?
If you've recently discovered elevated radon levels in your home, you're likely wondering how quickly the problem can be resolved. One of the most common questions we get at Radon Systems LLC is: “How long does it take to install a radon mitigation system?” The good news is that in most cases, the entire process can be completed in just one day.
The actual installation typically takes 3 to 5 hours, depending on your home’s design and the type of system required. Homes with basements, crawlspaces, or slab foundations may require different approaches, but the goal is always the same: to safely vent radon gas from beneath your home and direct it outside, where it quickly dissipates.
Before we start the installation, we perform a detailed inspection of your home to determine the most efficient system layout. This includes identifying where radon is entering, selecting the best suction point beneath the slab or crawlspace, and determining the ideal discharge location to ensure the gas exits well above windows, doors, and breathing zones.
Once we begin, the process involves drilling a small access hole in the slab or crawlspace floor, inserting the vent pipe, sealing around the entry point, and connecting it to a fan system that continuously pulls radon out from beneath your home. The fan is typically installed either in the attic, on the exterior of the home, or in a garage, depending on your home’s structure and aesthetic preferences.
After installation, we run a post-mitigation test to ensure the system is functioning correctly and that your radon levels have dropped to safe levels, typically below 4.0 pCi/L as recommended by the EPA. Most homeowners are surprised at how seamless and non-invasive the process is.
At Radon Systems LLC, we understand that dealing with radon can feel overwhelming. That’s why we focus on making the installation process fast, effective, and stress-free. From initial consultation to final testing, we're committed to your family's safety and peace of mind.
