Radon is a colorless, odorless, and radioactive gas that naturally emits from the ground and enters your home through basement floors, foundations, and other entry points. Therefore, it’s crucial to install a reliable radon mitigation system to keep your home safe. SafeBasements provides expert radon mitigation system installation services in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Contact us today for a free consultation.
Professional Radon Mitigation Services
Radon, a colorless and odorless gas, is produced by decaying uranium and radium in rocks and soil. It rises through porous dirt and is released into the air. Outside, the gas mixes with oxygen and is diluted. However, radon gas can concentrate underneath your foundation and enter your home through cracks, joints, and holes.
If your home’s radon levels exceed the safety threshold, we provide professional radon mitigation system installations. After the installation, radon inside your crawl space or basement will dissipate, protecting you and your family from its harmful effects.

Signs of High Radon Levels
Since radon is colorless and odorless, it’s hard to identify its presence in your home. However, prolonged exposure to radon can lead to lung cancer, making it the second leading cause of lung cancer. Early symptoms of lung cancer include persistent coughing, respiratory issues, and coughing up blood. Radon also has potential links to other respiratory issues. If you are experiencing any of the above health symptoms, seek medical attention and get your home treated for radon immediately.
Radon Mitigation System Installation
If your home has or is at risk of dangerous radon levels, we provide efficient radon mitigation system installation. A radon mitigation system consists of several components, including a fan, vent pipes, a monitoring device, and sealing materials for any gaps in your home’s foundation. These components work together to protect your home from radon exposure. Additionally, we also offer Radon Lids which cover older open Sump Baskets, further enhancing the effectiveness of the mitigation system.
How Does Radon Mitigation System Installation by SafeBasements Work?
If you have tested your home for radon and want to install a mitigation system, we can help. Our experts cover all the bases when installing a radon mitigation system in your home. Here’s how the process goes:
Step 1: Setting Up the Sub-Slab Depressurization System
A sub-slab depressurization system removes radon gas from beneath the concrete floor and foundation. We set up this system by installing PVC pipes through the foundation floor slab that are vented through the attic. We ensure a safe distance between the piping and the roof so the radon doesn’t come back in through the windows.
Step 2: Integrating a Radon Mitigation Fan
A fan generates suction, draws out the radon gas from beneath your home, and vents it outside through the roof or the attic, depending on the home.
Step 3: Sealing Cracks and Openings in the Foundation
We seal cracks, gaps, and other openings in your basement or crawl space to prevent radon gas from entering your home. The sealing allows the gas to travel only upwards through a radon mitigation system and out of your home, ensuring the effectiveness of the mitigation system and preventing gas from seeping back inside.
Step 4: Post-Installation Testing for Radon Level Changes
Once the mitigation system is installed, we will leave a test kit in your home for 48 hours. After testing, mail the kit to the lab, and the results will be sent to both you and SafeBasements™. If your radon levels measure below 4 pCi/L, your mitigation is considered successful. However, if the levels exceed 4 pCi/L, our licensed radon professional will return to your home to make necessary adjustments before providing you with another test kit.

A radon mitigation system is very beneficial for your home and family. It works effectively to prevent radon exposure, reducing radon levels and eliminating the risk of severe health problems, including lung cancer. Moreover, a radon mitigation system can also draw any excess water vapor from underneath the concrete slab and direct it out of the home, keeping the relative humidity down and preventing moisture problems, such as water damage and mold growth.
