Design Radon Mitigation Readiness Into the Build
New construction is the best time to address radon risk. Installing radon-ready components during build is typically lower cost and less disruptive than retrofitting after finishes are complete.
Radon-Ready System Components
- Sub-slab gas collection layer: Promote effective pressure communication beneath slab.
- Vent piping pathway: Route for future active depressurization if needed.
- Sealing details: Control obvious soil-gas entry points at penetrations and joints.
- Activation readiness: Design for rapid fan conversion when testing warrants.
Why Builders Use Pre-Installed Radon Infrastructure
- Lower lifecycle cost: Reduced retrofit expense and disruption.
- Clear handoff to owners: Defined testing and activation path after occupancy.
- Risk transparency: Better documentation for buyers and transactions.
Post-Construction Testing and Activation
Even with radon-ready design, testing after occupancy remains essential. If levels require action, systems can be activated with an installed fan configuration similar to sub-slab depressurization.
