Why do costs vary so much?
Each home is different. Factors include foundation type (slab, basement, crawl space, or combination), home size, accessibility, pipe routing options, and whether additional work like sump sealing is needed.
Is radon mitigation worth the cost?
Given that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, many homeowners consider mitigation a worthwhile investment in their family's health. Additionally, mitigation can be a selling point and may be required for some real estate transactions.
What's included in the cost?
A complete system typically includes the suction point(s), PVC piping, radon fan, manometer gauge, electrical work, and all labor. Verify what's included when getting quotes.
Are there ongoing costs after installation?
Radon fans typically use 50-100 watts, adding roughly $50-100 annually to electricity costs. Fans may need replacement after 10-15 years, and periodic retesting is recommended.
Can I get multiple quotes?
Yes, getting multiple quotes is reasonable. When comparing quotes, ensure you're comparing similar system designs and ask what's included in each price.

Radon in Slab-on-Grade Homes: Why No Basement Does Not Mean No Radon
Slab-on-grade homes have no basement, which leads many metro Atlanta homeowners to assume they are safe from radon. They are not.
