Radon Mitigation
 Mitigation techniques used to reduce
radon vary depending on the construction of the home.- Some techniques prevent radon from entering your home
while others reduce radon levels after it has entered.
- For example,
soil suction prevents radon from entering your home by drawing
radon from below the house and venting
it through a pipe to the air above the house where
it is quickly diluted.
- Mitigation to an existing home usually costs between
$800 and $2500, with an average of about $1,200.
- For more information on mitigation techniques used,
consult EPA's publication Consumer's Guide to
Radon Reduction, available at http://www.epa.gov/iaq/radon/pubs/consguid.html.
- Mitigation should be conducted by a certified radon
professional. Do not try to mitigate your home
yourself. To find a certified
radon mitigator, contact:
