Radon Mitigation Questions
Get answers to common questions about radon mitigation systems, costs, and installation.
Does snow and frozen ground affect my mitigation system’s performance?
In most cases, no – a properly installed active mitigation system continues to perform effectively regardless of frozen ground or snow cover. The fan creates suction beneath the slab that is independent of surface conditions. However, it’s worth checking that exterior exhaust points remain clear of ice and snow buildup that could potentially block airflow. Our team designs systems with winter conditions in mind, ensuring exhaust termination points are positioned to minimize the risk of blockage in our Western New York climate.
Does high humidity affect radon levels or my mitigation system?
High humidity in the soil can affect how freely air moves beneath your slab, potentially influencing system performance slightly. In crawlspaces, high moisture levels are often addressed simultaneously with radon mitigation through encapsulation, which both reduces humidity and controls radon. The mitigation fan itself can draw some moisture along with radon, which is normal and accounted for in system design. If you notice water in your suction pipe or at the fan connection, contact Certified Radon Systems for an evaluation.
Can new construction nearby affect my home’s radon levels?
It’s possible. Major excavation or construction near your property can disturb soil and rock, potentially increasing radon production or altering the pathways through which radon migrates toward your home. Similarly, changes to neighborhood drainage or large-scale landscaping projects can affect subsurface pressure dynamics. If significant construction has occurred near your home and you haven’t tested recently, it’s a sensible precaution to conduct a new radon test. Staying proactive about monitoring is always the best approach.
I have a finished basement – does that make mitigation harder?
A finished basement adds complexity to the installation process but does not prevent effective mitigation. Our team has extensive experience working in finished spaces and knows how to route pipes through walls, closets, and utility areas with minimal disruption to your living space. The finished surface of your basement does not block radon entry – it can still seep through the slab and walls beneath the finishing materials. Addressing radon in a finished basement is actually more urgent in some ways, since it’s a space where your family likely spends meaningful time.
My home has both a basement and a crawlspace – can both be mitigated?
Yes. Homes with multiple foundation types require a system that addresses each area appropriately. The basement portion typically receives sub-slab depressurization, while the crawlspace section receives its own depressurization system with a sealed membrane barrier. Both systems can often be connected to a single fan for efficiency, though separate fans may be used depending on the layout and conditions. Certified Radon Systems has extensive experience designing solutions for complex, multi-foundation homes throughout Western New York.
I live in a historic or older home – can I still get a mitigation system?
Yes. Older homes can absolutely be mitigated, though they sometimes present unique challenges related to non-standard construction methods, rubble-stone foundations, or original flooring materials. These challenges require a contractor with deep construction knowledge and problem-solving experience. In some cases with very old foundations, alternative mitigation strategies may be more appropriate than standard sub-slab depressurization. We’ll assess your home’s specific construction and design the best possible solution.

We chose this company because of their amazing reviews — and they truly lived up to every one of them! I called after my basement tested at 19.6, and they were so friendly and knowledgeable about everything involved in bringing those levels down safely. Thanks to their work, my levels dropped to 1-point-something – happy tears!

We recently had Certified Radon Systems install a radon mitigation system in a house we were selling, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. The team was very knowledgeable, extremely friendly, and efficient throughout the whole process. Everything went smoothly, and every person I interacted with was professional and personable. It’s rare to find a company that combines great service with genuine care for their customers.

Scott was by far the most responsive person we contacted about our radon fan install. He called back on a Saturday and had us scheduled for install within 2 weeks. His team was prompt and answered all our questions during install ( also worked very politely around our 2 small rambunctious kids) Would recommend Scott and his team every time. Awesome job, thank you!
