Our Radon Services

From initial testing to full system installation and real estate documentation — everything you need in one place.

Core Service

Radon Mitigation System Installation

We install sub-slab depressurization (SSD) systems — the proven, EPA-recommended solution for elevated radon levels. The system draws radon gas from beneath your slab and vents it safely outside before it can enter your living space.

Every installation is designed specifically for your home's foundation type, slab configuration, and test results. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work — we assess first and install right.

Every installation includes:

  • Pre-install diagnostic to confirm system design
  • Core drilling through basement slab
  • PVC pipe routing (interior or exterior based on preference)
  • Energy-efficient, low-noise radon fan
  • System pressure gauge and visual alert indicator
  • All penetrations sealed and finished
  • Post-installation test and written results

Testing

Radon Testing

Before mitigation, you need a confirmed test result. We offer short-term and long-term testing depending on your timeline and purpose — whether you're checking your own home, preparing for a real estate transaction, or verifying results after mitigation.

Short-term testing (48–96 hours):

  • Standard for real estate transactions
  • Results available within days
  • Accepted by lenders and real estate agents
  • Required by most purchase agreements in SD

Post-mitigation verification testing:

  • Confirms system is performing correctly
  • Provides written documentation for your records
  • Included with every system installation we perform

Real Estate

Real Estate Radon Services

A significant share of our calls come directly from real estate transactions — buyers, sellers, and agents navigating an elevated radon test result under a closing deadline. We understand the timeline pressure and prioritize these jobs accordingly.

What we provide for real estate closings:

  • Fast scheduling — typically within 2–3 business days
  • One-day installation that doesn't disrupt the closing timeline
  • Written report accepted by all major SD lenders
  • Documentation formatted for real estate agents and title companies
  • Post-install test results typically available before closing
  • Direct communication with buyer's agent if needed

If you have a closing date and an elevated test result, call us first. We'll tell you exactly what's possible on your timeline.

Maintenance

Fan Repair, Replacement & System Monitoring

Radon fans have a typical service life of 5–10 years. If your system's warning indicator has triggered, the fan is making unusual noise, or your re-test shows rising radon levels, it's time for a service call.

We handle:

  • Radon fan replacement (all major brands)
  • System pressure diagnostics
  • Warning indicator troubleshooting
  • Pipe sealing and system tune-ups
  • Annual re-testing and system verification

If you have an existing system installed by another contractor, we can still service it. Bring us your original report and we'll assess performance.

FAQ

Common Questions About Radon Mitigation

Have a question that isn't here? Call us — we're happy to talk through your specific situation.

How long does radon mitigation installation take?

A standard sub-slab depressurization system is installed in one day — typically 3–5 hours. The home is fully accessible throughout the process. You don't need to leave, and there's no major disruption to the living space.

How effective is the mitigation system?

Properly installed sub-slab depressurization systems reduce radon levels by approximately 99% in most homes. Post-installation testing consistently shows levels below 2 pCi/L — well under the EPA's 4 pCi/L action threshold. We've never had a post-install test come back above the action level.

Is radon mitigation required for home sales in South Dakota?

South Dakota law requires radon disclosure on all residential real estate transactions. If a pre-sale test shows elevated levels, most purchase agreements require mitigation. We provide written documentation accepted by lenders, agents, and title companies statewide.

What does the system look like — will it be visible?

A radon system consists of a PVC pipe that runs from the slab up through the home (or along an exterior wall) to a small fan near the roofline. Interior routing is more discreet — typically through a closet, utility room, or garage. Exterior routing is slightly more visible but keeps the system entirely outside the living space. We discuss options with you before installation.

Does the fan run all the time? How much does it cost to operate?

Yes — radon fans run continuously to maintain the pressure differential that keeps radon from entering the home. Modern radon fans are very energy-efficient, typically using 20–90 watts — comparable to a single light bulb. Annual operating cost is generally $15–$50 depending on your electricity rate.

My home is new construction. Do I still need to test?

Yes. Radon levels depend on the soil and geology beneath the home, not its age or construction quality. New homes in Harrisburg, Tea, and Brandon have tested elevated as often as older Sioux Falls homes. South Dakota's Zone 1 designation applies regardless of build year. We recommend testing any home in the metro area.

What radon level requires mitigation?

The EPA recommends mitigation for any home testing at or above 4 pCi/L. The EPA also recommends considering mitigation for levels between 2 and 4 pCi/L, especially in homes with children. Average indoor radon levels in South Dakota frequently exceed 4 pCi/L without a mitigation system in place.
