The housing you’re mitigating
The older core brings brick and block foundations with partial basements and crawl areas. Newer subdivisions are conventional poured or block construction, with crawl-space foundations common in some sections — those need sealed membrane designs rather than slab suction alone.

Nicholasville questions, answered straight
How does crawl-space mitigation differ from a basement system?
The suction is drawn from beneath a sealed membrane laid over the exposed soil rather than through a slab. The fan, routing, manometer, and verification test are the same. Confirm the quote covers the entire crawl area rather than part of it.
Is a newer home less likely to test high?
No. Radon comes from the soil beneath the foundation, and Bluegrass karst produces it regardless of build year while tight modern construction holds what enters.
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.
