Proven Radon Mitigation Treatments
A properly designed radon mitigation system can substantially reduce indoor radon levels. The right approach depends on the home, and a follow-up test confirms how well the system works. Blackburn Foundation Repair can review your test results and recommend an appropriate solution.
For many homes, an active soil suction system uses a fan and piping to collect radon-containing gas from beneath the foundation and vent it outdoors. The right design depends on the home and its test results. Sealing accessible openings can support the system, but sealing alone is not a reliable radon solution.
Our team considers the home’s foundation type and radon test results when designing a mitigation system. The steps below show what an installation may involve.
- Planning the system
We review the home’s foundation and radon test results to choose an appropriate approach. - Creating a suction point
For many homes, an opening in the slab or another suitable location lets the system draw radon-containing soil gas from beneath the home. - Venting outdoors
A fan and pipe route the collected gas outside, away from living spaces. - Sealing accessible openings
Sealing can support the mitigation system, but sealing alone does not reliably lower radon levels. - Checking the installation
The system is inspected to confirm it is operating as intended. - Testing after installation
A follow-up radon test shows whether levels have been reduced. EPA recommends testing within 30 days, but no sooner than 24 hours after the system begins operating.
While we keep radon mitigation systems as affordable as possible at Blackburn Foundation Repair of South Dakota and Wyoming, we know that they are not always easy to fit into your budget. Therefore, we offer a variety of payment plans and pricing options to help you create a safe home environment. Call us today at 1 (800) 392-3389 to learn more.

Radon Mitigation FAQs
How does a radon mitigation system lower radon?
A fan and piping system creates suction beneath the home, captures radon-containing soil gas, and vents it safely above the roofline before it enters living areas.
Where is the radon fan installed?
The fan is placed in an unoccupied area such as an attic, garage, or outside the home so that pressurized radon gas is not routed through living space.
Will the system be noticeable inside my home?
Installers plan the pipe route to be effective and as unobtrusive as practical. A small pressure gauge is normally visible so the homeowner can confirm the fan is operating.
Should the home be tested after installation?
Yes. A follow-up test confirms the system is reducing radon. Periodic testing is also recommended because home and soil conditions can change.
Can an existing home be fitted with mitigation?
Yes. Systems can be designed for basements, slab-on-grade homes, sump baskets, and crawl spaces. Request a free radon mitigation estimate.
