Our Approach to Radon Mitigation
What to Expect from Radon Testing
Idaho Radon offers prompt scheduling, allowing you to set a radon testing appointment quickly and conveniently. Here, we will install a continuous radon detector. We will then plan a follow-up visit to go over the findings. There, the specialist will print the radon test results.
What to Do If Your Home Has High Radon Levels
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends radon reduction services if levels exceed 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter). If there are high concentrations of radon gas in your home, we will develop a radon mitigation system tailored to your unique situation:
- We address the stack effect or natural movement of air/radon in your home by depressurizing the soil beneath the structure to prevent radon gas from moving through the house.
- We drill into the concrete foundation slab, basement floor, or surrounding earth to create a suction point(s) and connect a PVC pipe.
- We vent gas through a pipe that runs through a fan in the attic or along the top of the home. Then, radon is expelled outside.
- We seal all radon entry points with a urethane caulking compound, including cracks, gaps, and openings.
- We perform a final system analysis to inspect the fan and other key system details to ensure it performs correctly.
- We perform a radon test within 30 days of the system installation to ensure the system is working.

Idaho Radon was engaged by a local disaster cleanup company to mitigate elevated radon levels in a cabin located in Idaho City. Concerned about potential health risks after seeing recent news reports on radon, the residents purchased an AirThings Corentium tester from Amazon. After leaving the device in the basement for several weeks, they identified elevated radon levels requiring remediation.
During the winter months, radon concentrations averaged approximately 5.0 pCi/L. Following a consultation with the residents, we developed a mitigation strategy focused on the basement area, ensuring the radon fan was installed on the least visible and least trafficked side of the property.
The mitigation system was constructed using 3" DWV PVC piping from the designated suction point to the exterior, where a RadonAway RP145 fan was installed. The project was successfully completed by a two-person team within five hours, all while working in a scenic and serene environment.
