Radon Mitigation System Inspections in Denver

Homes Settle and Change: Over time, homes naturally settle, and structural shifts can lead to new or expanded radon entry points. Radon systems that worked after initial system installation may now no longer be reducing radon to acceptable levels.

Radon Fans Wear Out: The typical lifespan of a radon fan is 7 to 8 years. As these fans age, their efficiency decreases.

Manufacturer Warranties Expire: Most major radon fan manufacturers offer warranties that expire after 5 years. An inspection can identify issues before they become out-of-warranty repairs.

Fan Motor Corrosion: Inside the fan housing, motors can corrode over time, leading to reduced effectiveness and increased noise levels.

EPA Recommendations: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advises that all homes with a radon mitigation system be retested every two years to confirm the system’s ongoing effectiveness.

Potential System Ineffectiveness: Without regular checks, your radon mitigation system may not be functioning as intended, leaving your home vulnerable.

Radon is a Serious Health Issue: As the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers, radon exposure is a significant health concern that requires constant vigilance.

Past High Radon Levels: Remember, your home originally had high radon levels due to the soil composition beneath it, necessitating the initial mitigation system. This underlying condition doesn’t disappear.

Radon Fan Diagnostic Analysis: We’ll perform a diagnostic analysis to confirm that the correct gauge of radon fan is installed for your home’s needs.

Foundation Inspection for Entry Points: We’ll thoroughly inspect your home’s foundation for any new or previously unnoticed radon entry points that may have developed over time.

Radon Pipe Inspection for Leaks: Our technicians will meticulously check the radon piping for any leaks that could compromise the system’s efficiency.

Pipe Security Check: We ensure all radon pipes are securely fastened to their supports, preventing dislodgement and maintaining optimal airflow.

Code Compliance Inspection: Your system will be inspected to confirm it complies with all relevant local and national health department, mechanical, electrical, fire, building, plumbing, and energy codes.

Noise Level Analysis: We’ll assess the noise level of your radon fan to ensure it’s operating within acceptable parameters.

Post-Inspection Radon Test: A new radon test will be performed after the inspection to verify the system is working effectively and radon levels are safely reduced.

New Premium Radon Fan Installation: We’ll install a high-quality radon fan, backed by a 5-year warranty.

Correct Fan Diagnostic: We’ll perform a diagnostic analysis to ensure the newly installed fan is the correct fan for your home’s specific needs, maximizing its effectiveness.

Noise Reduction Solutions: If your current system is loud, we offer solutions to significantly reduce operational noise, improving your home’s comfort.

Aesthetic System Improvements: We can implement aesthetic options to improve the visual appeal of your system, integrating it more seamlessly with your home’s design.

Code Compliance Adjustments: We’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure your system meets current local and national code requirements.

Improved Indoor Air Quality: By optimizing your radon mitigation system, we’ll contribute to overall improvements in your home’s indoor air quality.

Post-Improvement Radon Test: After all improvements are made, we’ll conduct a new radon test to confirm the system’s enhanced effectiveness.
