Reducing Radon in Slab Homes

Radon Mitigation for Slab-on-Grade Foundations

In order to reduce radon in slab homes, one of four types of soil suction methods are employed: subslab suction, drain-tile suction, sump-hole suction, or block-wall suction.

Reducing radon in slab homes employs one of 4 methods.

Active subslab suction — also called subslab depressurization — is the most common and usually the most reliable radon reduction method. One or more suction pipes are inserted through the floor slab into the crushed rock or soil underneath. They also may be inserted below the concrete slab from outside the home.

The number and location of suction pipes that are needed depends on how easily air can move in the crushed rock or soil under the slab and on the strength of the radon source. Often, only a single suction point is needed.

A radon vent fan connected to the suction pipes draws the radon gas from below the home and releases it into the outdoor air while simultaneously creating a negative pressure or vacuum beneath the slab. Common fan locations include unconditioned home and garage spaces, including attics and the exterior of the home.

First time dealing with Cook's Radon mitigation & the experience was great. Professional, on time, organized & true craftsmen with their work scope. As a general contractor & Certified Professional Home Builder, it's good to know who these folks are & I will definitely be using them again.

Cooks is the absolute best. I had a client who needed a system. But not only a system but a great system. The crew arrived and provided a great system. The best part of their work is that they will install it where it doesnt even look like its there. Super neat, and clean. They were really really awesome. Their was a closing dependent on the radon system and they reacted fast and the system worked and cleared the radon from the property really fast. Thanks Cooks

I've been extremely impressed with every aspect of Cook's Radon, and will recommend them to anyone without reservation. Tony met with my general contractor to give us an estimate within a few days of my request. My contractor had nothing but positive things to say about the plan moving forward; the design for mitigation and the cost estimates met his requirements right away. He is very particular about any subcontractors working on his projects because he demands a superior product. Paul and Ron showed up on time and ready to jump into the work. I was happy that they knew the plan and understood the science behind their work, as well. Within a few hours the project was complete. Everything that they did was exactly as promised, works as it should, and it looks great. It's obvious that the company believes in great customer service, and I would hire them again if I need another structure mitigated.

Cook's did a great job putting up a radon barrier at our first house. At our new house, they installed fans for the mitigation system and were very pleasant to work with! I'm deducting one star because the guys didn't take their shoes off and we had to clean some mud/dirt off of our stair treads and carpet.
