Existing Radon System Inspection

South Dakota | Wyoming

You may have had a radon mitigation system placed in your home years ago. However, do you know if it is still working properly? A simple inspection from Blackburn Foundation Repair in South Dakota, and Wyoming will let you know for sure. Call us today at 1 (800) 392-3389 to schedule your appointment.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, existing systems should be thoroughly inspected every other year. Because radon gas is so dangerous, this recommendation should not be ignored. Sadly, radon gas is the number two cause of lung cancer and is only surpassed by smoking. Each year, approximately 21,000 Americans die from over-exposure to radon.
Blackburn Foundation Repair is helping to decrease the dangers of radon gas in households across our service area by providing professional radon testing and mitigation systems. In addition to installing new systems, we can also inspect current systems.
Radon usually enters homes through cracks in foundations or soil in crawl spaces. However, a simple system that uses a PVC pipe and a fan to direct dangerous gases out of the soil and into the atmosphere can eliminate radon. The benefits of having your mitigation system checked regularly are many. Here are just a few of the top reasons for scheduling your appointment as soon as possible.

Fan Breakdown

Most radon mitigation systems have easy setups, and the fan is typically the only piece that has moving parts. Over time, you can expect the fan to wear out.

Foundational Changes

If your home’s foundation changes for any reason, such as because of a home remodel or addition, you will want your mitigation system inspected.

New Gaps

Over time, new gaps and cracks may form in your home’s foundation as soil shifts. Gaps may also appear around the system’s pipes. These spaces will need to be filled in to keep the system working efficiently.

Peace of Mind

If you are worried that your radon mitigation system is no longer working as it should, you can find renewed peace of mind without breaking your budget by having a specialist from Blackburn Foundation Repair inspect its performance. Our experts can examine the entire system, provide you with necessary maintenance and ensure that the system is working optimally.

Return on Investment

Regular maintenance inspections provide great return for your money especially if you plan to sell your home soon. Potential buyers will appreciate knowing that a quality mitigation system is already in place.

Our experts from Blackburn Foundation Repair are certified for working with radon mitigation systems. Find renewed peace of mind by scheduling an inspection today. Call us at 1 (800) 392-3389 to get started.

Existing Radon System Inspection FAQs

Why should an existing radon system be inspected?

An inspection can confirm that the fan, piping, seals, warning device, and exhaust location are in suitable condition and that the system is still creating suction.

What does the pressure gauge tell me?

The gauge shows that the fan is creating pressure in the system. It does not measure the home’s radon level, so a radon test is still needed.

How do I know if the radon fan has stopped working?

A level gauge, warning device, unusual noise, or lack of vibration may indicate a problem. Do not disconnect or open the system; arrange an inspection instead.

Should I have the system checked when buying a home?

Yes. An inspection and a new radon test can help confirm that an older system is installed correctly and continues to control radon.

Can an older system be repaired or improved?

Many systems can be serviced, resealed, rerouted, or upgraded when appropriate. Schedule an existing radon system inspection with Blackburn Foundation Repair.
