Fountain questions, answered straight

Our house is slab-on-grade. Can radon still be a problem?

Yes. Radon enters wherever a building contacts soil, and a slab floor does exactly that through joints, cracks, and utility penetrations. The suction point goes through the slab in a low-visibility spot and the pipe routes up through the garage or an exterior wall.

Does base housing handle radon differently?

Government-owned or privatized base housing is managed under its own maintenance programs rather than by a homeowner hiring a contractor. This service is for homes you own or are purchasing off base.

How do we verify the system worked?

Insist the post-mitigation radon test be in the scope of work. Run under closed-house conditions after startup, it proves the indoor number dropped rather than merely that the fan is running.
