Underwood questions, answered straight

How do I find a passive rough-in?

Look in the attic for a capped 3–4 inch PVC run exiting the roof, often labeled, originating below the basement slab. If it exists and your test is elevated, a certified contractor can add an in-line fan and indicator — a smaller job than a full retrofit.

We are on a private well. Two tests?

Potentially. The airborne test covers the house; a separate water test tells you whether radon is arriving dissolved in well water. Fix the air first, then let the water result decide.

Should mitigation happens before finishing the basement?

Yes. An open basement is when suction placement and routing are cheapest and most flexible, and finishing over a mitigated, verified slab locks the outcome in.
