Radon Services
Radon mitigation lowers the radon level in your home by pulling the gas from the soil under your foundation and venting it safely above the roof. You may also hear it called radon removal or radon abatement. Utah Radon Defense designs every system on-site, installs most of them in about 4 hours, and retests your home so you can see your new number.
About 1 in 3 Utah homes tests high for radon, the leading cause of lung cancer in people who have never smoked. If your result is at or above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L, a system is the fix. Between 2 and 4, consider fixing it, or at least test again in winter. We work from our Springville headquarters and South Jordan office.
TEST
Start with a professional test, or bring us the result you already have.
ASSESS
We visit your home and look at the foundation, layout and finish before we give you a price.
DESIGN
We choose the suction point, pipe route and fan for your house, and match the finish to the home.
INSTALL
Most systems go in within about 4 hours, and we clean up before we leave.
VERIFY & PROTECT
We retest to confirm your new number. Every system has a lifetime transferable warranty and our Low-Level Guarantee.
Most Utah homes get a sub-slab depressurization system. We drill a suction point through the slab, connect it to a sealed PVC pipe, and install a fan that runs around the clock. The fan creates gentle suction under the foundation, so radon is pulled into the pipe and released above the roofline instead of seeping into your living space.
Homes with a crawl space get a heavy-duty vapor barrier sealed over the soil, with the suction point underneath it. Many homes have both, and the system is designed to cover each part of the foundation.
Every system includes a manometer, a small U-shaped gauge on the pipe. When the liquid levels are uneven, the fan is pulling suction and the system is working. You can check it at a glance.
A radon mitigation system is a run of PVC pipe, a fan and a manometer, the small gauge that shows the system is working. Depending on your home, the pipe runs through interior utility spaces and out the roof, or along an exterior wall. We plan the route and finish so the system fits the look of your house.
Radon removal, radon abatement, radon reduction and radon remediation all describe the same service: a system that brings the radon level in your home down and keeps it there. Whatever you call it, the work starts the same way, with a visit to your home and a system designed for it.
After the assessment, most installations take about 4 hours. Our crew drills the suction point, runs schedule 40 PVC pipe through the cleanest path in your home, and mounts a fan rated for continuous outdoor use. We lay down mats, wear booties and clean the work area before we leave.
Then we retest. You see the actual number after the system is running, not an estimate. That reading is backed by our Low-Level Guarantee and a lifetime transferable warranty.
Measured, not promised
Every system we install is measured before and after. Here are two of them, from a brand-new community and a split-level home.
Saratoga Springs · New construction
pCi/L, average across the homes we mitigated
In a 55-home new-construction community, the average radon level across the homes we mitigated went from 69.9 to 1.4 pCi/L. 69.9 is about 17 times the EPA action level.
See the Saratoga Springs project →Spanish Fork · Split-level home
pCi/L, one system
One system brought this split-level home from 5.0 to 0.8 pCi/L, well under the EPA action level of 4.0.
See the Spanish Fork project →New homes are not immune. Every home is different, which is why we measure before and after.
EPA action level, 4.0 pCi/LMost radon mitigation systems in Utah cost $1,700 to $2,500 installed, and most homes land between $1,800 and $2,000. Larger homes, crawl spaces or more complex foundations can cost more. We give you a price after we see your home, and the estimate is free.

Yes. Radon removal, radon abatement and radon reduction are other names for the same service: a system that lowers the radon level in your home and keeps it low.
A fan creates suction under your foundation through a sealed pipe. Radon is pulled from the soil before it enters your home and is vented above the roof. A manometer on the pipe shows the system is working.
A system is a good sign: the radon was found and addressed. Ask for the most recent radon test, check that the manometer shows suction, and ask who installed it and whether the warranty transfers. Every Utah Radon Defense system comes with a lifetime transferable warranty.
The EPA recommends fixing your home at 4.0 pCi/L or higher. Between 2 and 4, consider fixing it, or at least test again in winter. Below 2 is a good number.
Most systems are installed in about 4 hours, after an on-site assessment of your home.
Yes. We seal a heavy-duty vapor barrier over the crawl space soil and place the suction point underneath it, often combined with suction under a slab in the same home.
