Port Washington Radon Mitigation System Cost
Radon mitigation systems in Port Washington generally fall into the price range of $800-$1500. The pricing is largely dependent on the home and what is needed to lower the radon levels to a safe range for years to come. Beware of one price fits all quotes that you may receive from other companies. Radon systems are not a one size fits all type of project, and if your aren’t being asked any questions about your home before getting a price, you can almost guarantee that there will be hidden charges on the day of install. The biggest price factors are whether the home has a sump crock with drain tile or not, what type of sump pump is currently in the home (submersible or pedestal), whether or not existing electrical outlets are available where the system will be placed, and if there is a gravel or dirt crawl space open to the basement. Obviously there are other factors to determine the perfect system for your home, but the ones listed are the biggest. To get an accurate estimate for your home, give us a call now! Our knowledgeable and friendly office staff is here to help every day of the week!
Radon FAQ's
How long does it take to install a radon mitigation system?
Radon mitigation systems typically takes 2-4 hours to install in a home. For homes that have large crawl spaces that need to be sealed, the process can take up to a full day. Standard exterior style systems tend to take 2-3 hours, while garage systems take a little bit longer due to the the amount of labor. Once finished, you can get retesting results in less than a week if needed. Does the radon system have to run out of my sump crock? No. Radon mitigation systems can be run out of the basement in multiple ways. The sump crock is just one way to start the system. If the home does in fact have a sump with drain tile, we can either start the piping out of the crock, or we can core into the floor pretty much anywhere in the unfinished portion of the basement 9 ½ inches from the wall and connect the pipe directly to the drain tile. If the home doesn't have a sump crock, the pipe can start anywhere in the basement where we feel we could get the best draw from with the application of a suction pit. What should my radon levels be? |
Technically there is no “safe” level of radon, but since it is everywhere, there do exist safer levels that you can be comfortable with in your home. The EPA’s action level is 4.0 pCi/L so anything under that is deemed sufficient. The most ideal results fall into the 0.2pCi/L to 2.6pCi/L range.
Does the radon mitigation system require a lot of maintenance?
The amount of maintenance needed to keep the system running properly is minimal. The homeowner should periodically check the levels on the manometer (u-tube) in the basement to verify that the fan is still pulling airflow through the piping, and retesting is recommended every two years.
What’s the first step in fixing my radon issue?
The first step in the process if you know your home has elevated radon levels is to contact a radon mitigation company such as Lifetime Radon.
