Radon Intrusion Mitigation Systems Across the United States
Protect Your Investment with a Radon Intrusion Mitigation System
You need a trustworthy, commercial radon intrusion mitigation system to ensure that a site intended for commercial use that has been contaminated by dangerous radon is safe to develop on and legally compliant. At GeoKinetics, we create effective solutions by diving deep with analytics first, before designing a system tailored to your site’s specific needs.
The Impacts of Radon Intrusion
When to Install a Radon Monitoring and Mitigation System
Radon testing and mitigation should be considered early in the development or acquisition of any property, regardless of whether it is vacant land or an existing structure. While radon levels vary by region, elevated concentrations have been found in every state, and even neighboring properties can show vastly different results. Areas with high natural uranium content in the soil are particularly prone to radon accumulation, but no area is immune. Because of these risks, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends radon testing for all homes, schools, and commercial buildings.
If contamination is identified, commercial radon mitigation systems can be integrated into the environmental due diligence process alongside Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments. Identifying and addressing radon intrusion early helps minimize risk and supports regulatory compliance at both the state and federal levels.
Important Factors in Radon Mitigation
Effective radon mitigation requires a methodical, site-specific approach. The process typically includes an initial diagnostic phase, followed by system design, installation, and long-term monitoring. Commercial radon mitigation techniques, such as sub-slab depressurization and soil gas ventilation systems, are tailored to each building’s foundation type and soil conditions. Site evaluations often include soil gas sampling, drilling, and the use of specialized instruments and laboratory analysis to confirm results. While most of the United States does not require a permit, some municipalities do; we will confirm all legal requirements before proceeding.
Once a mitigation system is installed, a certificate of compliance, issued by a licensed radon professional or environmental consultant, verifies that the system meets all relevant guidelines. While the EPA provides national guidance, many states have their own radon programs and certification requirements, which must be followed to ensure safe and effective mitigation.
Why Radon Mitigation is Beneficial
Installing a radon mitigation system offers ongoing protection against a hidden but dangerous threat. Continuous or periodic monitoring ensures that radon levels remain within safe limits, reducing health risks and potential liability for property owners. Mitigation systems also enable development on brownfield sites that might otherwise be considered unsafe, unlocking real estate opportunities in a wide range of environments. Beyond compliance, proactive radon management reinforces a commitment to occupant safety, public health, and sustainable development practices.
