THE SHORT ANSWER

How to Estimate a Radon Mitigation System

An active sub-slab system on one floor with one fan and 12 labor hours at $65 totals about $2,280.

01

Choose the system type

Active sub-slab pulls radon from under the slab with a fan; crawlspace systems ventilate a crawl space; passive systems rely on stack effect.

  • System type
  • Floors served
  • Number of fans
  • Labor
02

Fans drive the cost

Each mitigation fan adds a significant line. Most homes need one fan; larger or split slabs may need two.

03

Floors change the routing

A multi-story home needs longer pipe routing and more labor to pull the radon up and out. Add a per-floor charge.

04

Test after install

A mitigation system is verified by a post-install radon test. Confirm who runs the test and include the cost.
