18 Homes. Same Builder. Nothing Alike Underneath.
Radon problems can vary dramatically from one home to the next, even when the homes are newly built, sit in the same neighborhood, and share similar floor plans. Utah Radon Defense has firsthand experience with exactly that in Saratoga Springs.
In one newly constructed community of 55 homes, our team professionally tested 18 of them and found an average initial radon level of 69.9 pCi/L — more than 17 times the EPA action level. Individual readings ranged from 2.1 pCi/L to 463.9 pCi/L. We ultimately mitigated 19 homes there, bringing the average down to 1.4 pCi/L.
Several homeowners here had estimates from other radon contractors before calling us. By their account, the recommendation came from basement square footage alone — no on-site visit, no diagnostic testing.
We evaluated each property individually and ran Pressure Field Extension testing to measure how pressure actually communicates beneath the slab, then designed around that.
What the testing actually showed
The results revealed meaningful differences between homes that looked identical from the street. In many cases the testing also showed that one properly engineered mitigation system could effectively treat the basement, eliminating the second system that had previously been recommended.
Basement size matters, but square footage alone doesn't tell us how pressure communicates beneath the slab. Diagnostics are what determine where suction points belong and how the system should be designed for that particular home. This is our radon mitigation process on every job.
Those results are the reason we don't design a system from a floor plan, a square-footage figure, or an assumption about a neighborhood.
Project Snapshot
VERIFIED DATANew construction does not mean low radon.
The 18 homes we tested in this community averaged 69.9 pCi/L — more than 17 times the EPA action level — in houses that had just been finished.
From the street they looked the same. Beneath the slab they weren't.
Our evaluations found large slab cracks in some homes, cold joints in others, bathtub blockouts in certain floor plans, and a mix of finished and unfinished basements.
One properly engineered system, not two.
PFE testing showed that for many of these 2,400 to 2,600 square foot basements, sub-slab communication let a single well-placed system serve the whole floor.
1.4 pCi/L average across 19 mitigated homes.
Roughly 98% below where the community started. Every system verified with post-mitigation testing before we called the job done.
Figures are the verified professional test results from this Saratoga Springs community — 18 homes tested, 19 mitigated. Individual homes ranged from 2.1 to 463.9 pCi/L before mitigation, so your own home's result can differ substantially. EPA recommends action at 4.0 pCi/L.
One Home in This Group Tested at 79.6 pCi/L
After mitigation, its post-mitigation test recorded 0.4 pCi/L. The homeowner, who identified himself as a contractor, left this feedback:
Great job! Very professional and clean. I am a contractor so I understand the importance of quality workmanship and you did an amazing job.
A New Home Still Needs Its Own Test
One of the clearest lessons from this work is that a newly constructed home can still have elevated radon. These houses were brand new, yet the 18 tested averaged 69.9 pCi/L with results running from 2.1 to 463.9 pCi/L.
That range is why you shouldn't assume your level based on a neighbor's test. Even homes in the same development produce very different results — testing your own home is the only way to know. This is directly relevant to new construction radon management for both homeowners and builders.
Does a Large Basement Automatically Need Two Systems?
Not necessarily — and this was one of the clearest findings here. Many of these basements ran 2,400 to 2,600 square feet, and some homeowners had been told that size alone meant two systems. PFE testing showed that for many of them, sub-slab communication allowed one properly designed system to serve the basement effectively.
Other homes genuinely do need more, which is precisely why we test instead of assuming. There is no responsible way to determine suction points from basement size alone. The same question comes up for home buyers and sellers and home inspectors mid-transaction.

How We Design a System
Every home behaves differently, so the process begins with understanding the property rather than selecting a generic system.
- 1 On-Site Evaluation Construction, foundation configuration, basement conditions, potential suction locations, and practical pipe routing.
- 2 PFE Testing Measures how air moves beneath the slab, giving real information for suction point placement.
- 3 Custom System Design Built around the home's measured conditions, including sealing accessible slab openings where appropriate.
- 4 Professional Installation Installed by certified specialists, typically in about four hours.
- 5 Post-Mitigation Testing We verify the result. Here, the mitigated homes averaged 1.4 pCi/L afterward.
Most Utah homeowners pay approximately $1,800 to $2,000 for radon mitigation, with a typical installed range of $1,700 to $2,500 — see the full breakdown of how much radon mitigation costs across Utah. Very large custom homes, unusual foundation designs, crawl spaces, or properties needing multiple independent systems can exceed that range, which is exactly why the estimate happens on site.
