Does our radon mitigation system provide any other benefits?

Yes! Some of the comments that we hear frequently from our customers are "the dehumidifier seems to run less", "the house feels cleaner", and "the musty smell in the basement is gone". It has been estimated that an active radon system can draw a gallon of water from beneath the slab every two hours, thus reducing the bacterial growth under your house. Great news for allergy sufferers!!!

Do you have to use PVC pipe?

Aluminum downspout material has been tried in the past and due to some installer problems, has be banned in many states. Metal downspouts have a great heat transfer and can fill up with ice in winter, disabling the system when you need it most.

Does the PVC pipe have go all the way up to the roof?

No, not necessarily. We can customize your exhaust to your request. We can install the fan on the interior of your home. It looks much more aesthetically appealing and you won't have that "ugly looking PVC running up the side of your home" (see pic's)

In these conditions our system fan vacum will cover the entire footprint of the house reducing radon levels to well below the EPA accepted standard of 4pCi/L. At USA Radon we GUARANTEE that your radon level will be reduced below this standard. Our systems are routinely bringing levels below 1pCi/L!!!
