As you can see, it's not rocket science (or as my former T-38 instructor pilot used to say, "It ain't rocket surgery). The simple principle is to transfer the negative pressure from inside the home to outside, and the fan does that pretty easily.
In Louisville and southern Indiana, a reputable radon mitigation company will do the work for around $1,000. Prices vary based on the configuration of the home and the aesthetic impact, but to do the basics it is usually less than $1,000.
At HomeTeam we always have a home inspector on each inspection who is also a Certified Radon Measurement Professional. We can do radon tests in conjunction with a home inspection or as a stand-alone radon inspection- just let us know what your needs are and we will serve you.
Next week: do you smell that?
The very good news with radon: mitigation is a straightforward process that has come down in price over the last several years. Take a look at this video to see one mitigation system.
