Passive Radon System Activation in Athens, Winder, Gainesville

Radon Mitigation Systems in Northeastern Georgia and nearby

In the 1980s, the (EPA) known as the Environmental Protection Agency, began to promote radon awareness. Home contractors have since been encouraged to incorporate radon mitigation systems into new houses as they are being built. It is a requirement that passive radon systems be installed in new homes to keep up with building codes in many areas. A passive radon system contains the same plastic ventilation pipes as active radon systems. The difference is that it does not utilize a fan to exhaust radon gas from beneath the foundation.

Why passive radon systems should be designed for activation

To prevent dangerous radon levels from accumulating inside a home, a pathway that can convey the gas from the ground beneath the home up through to the outside is necessary. A passive radon mitigation system relies on a permeable gravel base beneath the basement, crawl space floor, or foundation and a network of plastic pipes to transport the air from the ground to the outdoors. However, passive radon systems don't always succeed in keeping indoor radon levels below the four pCi/l maximum recommended by the EPA. When a radon test detects a failure, the solution is to "activate" the passive system by adding a ventilation fan.

Radon fans should be professionally sized and installed

The radon fan installation transforms a passive radon system into an active radon system. Radon fans are special inline models designed to run continuously without consuming much power or making noise. A Radon Contractor is required to make sure fan specifications are matched to the size and design of the specific radon system.
