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.

We serve Nampa and surrounding areas throughout Idaho.
Idaho Radon was contracted to mitigate elevated radon levels in a residence located in Nampa. The property featured a basement with a mechanical room containing a sump pit, which served as a drainage point for the piping system beneath the slab. This existing sump pit provided an ideal location for creating negative pressure under the basement slab as part of the radon mitigation system.
Due to the sump pit's larger-than-standard size, we custom-engineered and installed a plexiglass cover to serve as a secure lid. A 3-inch PVC DWV pipe was then inserted, carefully sealed along with all other penetrations, and routed to a radon mitigation fan on the exterior of the home.
Basement drainage systems are uncommon in Idaho homes, making this case unique. However, the presence of the drainage system allowed for a more cost-effective solution for the buyers, a faster installation process to accommodate the seller’s timeline, and improved system efficiency due to the expanded pressure field beneath the slab.
