Radon Mitigation Calgary
Professional Radon Mitigation Systems for Calgary Homes
Safe Home Radon Solutions provides professional radon mitigation in Calgary and surrounding communities. Our C-NRPP certified professionals design and install radon mitigation systems based on the unique construction and conditions of each home.
If testing has identified elevated radon levels in your home, our goal is simple: determine how radon is entering the building, design an effective mitigation system, and reduce your family's long-term exposure.
How Does Radon Mitigation Work?
The most common method of reducing radon in Canadian homes is active soil depressurization (ASD).
A properly designed system creates negative pressure beneath the foundation, intercepting radon and other soil gases before they can enter the living space. A radon fan continuously draws the gases from beneath the home and safely exhausts them outdoors.
Every home is different, which is why the system should be designed around the home's foundation, sub-slab conditions, sump configuration, existing rough-ins and other construction details.
Safe Home Radon Solutions uses diagnostic testing to help determine the appropriate suction location and system design before completing the installation.
Our Radon Mitigation Process
1. Home Assessment
We review your radon results and assess the home's foundation, basement layout, sump system, existing radon rough-in and potential system routes.
2. Sealing Accessible Openings
Accessible foundation openings and potential soil-gas entry points are sealed where appropriate to improve system performance.
3. Sub-Slab Communication Testing
Before finalizing the system design, we perform diagnostic testing to determine how effectively air moves beneath the concrete slab.
This helps us determine whether the proposed suction location can create the pressure field required beneath the foundation.
4. System Design
Using the information gathered during testing, we determine the appropriate suction point, fan requirements, pipe route and discharge location for the home.
5. Radon Mitigation System Installation
Our technicians install the suction point, radon piping, fan, system monitor and exterior discharge according to the approved system design and applicable requirements.
6. System Performance Check
Once the system is operating, we confirm that it is creating the intended negative pressure beneath the foundation.
7. Post-Mitigation Radon Testing
Radon levels should be tested again after mitigation to verify that the system has successfully reduced the concentration inside the home.
How Much Does Radon Mitigation Cost in Calgary?
Radon mitigation systems from Safe Home Radon Solutions start at $1,900. The final cost is depending on the construction, requirements of the home and radon mitigation system design.
Factors that can affect the price include:
• Foundation design and age
• Existing radon rough-in
• Number of suction points required
• Sub-slab communication
• Finished basement areas
• Sump configuration
• Pipe routing
• Fan requirements
• Exterior discharge location
• Additional sealing or construction work
We review the proposed system and pricing with the homeowner before proceeding with additional work.
Radon Mitigation With a Sump
Sump pits can be an important part of a radon mitigation system.
Depending on the construction of the home, the sump may need to be properly sealed or may be incorporated into the mitigation system as a suction location.
Our technicians evaluate the sump and surrounding foundation as part of the system assessment to determine the appropriate approach for the home.
Why Choose Safe Home Radon Solutions?
Choosing a radon contractor is about more than installing a fan and pipe.
A successful radon mitigation system starts with understanding how air moves beneath the home and designing the system around those conditions.
