If you live in Fargo–Moorhead, Hastings, Litchfield, or anywhere in between, our local experts are ready to help you breathe easier.
What Is a Sub-Slab Depressurization System?
Sub-slab depressurization is a system that prevents radon gas from entering your home by pulling it from beneath your concrete slab and venting it safely outside. A specially installed pipe and fan system creates a vacuum under your foundation, capturing radon before it can seep into your basement or living spaces.
This method is widely recommended by the EPA and is considered the gold standard for radon mitigation in residential homes.
Why Radon Is a Concern in Our Region
Radon gas forms naturally in the soil and rock beneath your home. It can enter through foundation cracks, sump pits, utility penetrations, or exposed soil in crawl spaces. It’s invisible and odorless, but prolonged exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
In areas like Minnesota and North Dakota, radon levels are often well above the EPA’s recommended action level. Without mitigation, this invisible threat could be building inside your home without your knowledge.
When Sub-Slab Depressurization Is the Right Choice
Sub-slab depressurization is the most widely recommended method for reducing radon in homes with slab-on-grade foundations or full basement slabs. If your home has a concrete floor in the basement or crawl space, this system offers consistent, proven performance. It’s also ideal for properties with elevated radon levels where passive solutions are not enough. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your home’s foundation and construction type to determine whether this system is the best fit. While we do not perform radon testing ourselves, we provide a radon test kit after installation so you can confirm that your system is effectively lowering radon levels to a safe range.
