Comments

Subslab Depressurization

50 - 99%

$800 - $2,500

$50 - $200

Works best if air can move easily in material under slab.

Passive Subslab Suction

30 - 70%

$550 - $2,250

There may be some energy penalties

May be more effective in cold climates; not as effective as active subslab suction.

Drain tile Suction

50 - 99%

$800 - $1,700

$50 - $200

Can work with either partial or complete drain tile loops.

Block wall Suction

50 - 99%

$1,500 - $3,000

$100 - $400

Only in houses with hollow block walls; requires sealing of major openings.

Sump Hole Suction

50 - 99%

$800 - $2,500

$50 - $250

Works best if air moves easily to the sump under the slab.

Sub membrane Depressurization in a Crawlspace

50 - 99%

$1,000 - $2,500

$50 - $250

Less heat loss than natural ventilation in cold winter climates.

Natural Ventilation in a Crawlspace

0 - 50%

none
$200 - $500 if additional vents installed

There may be some energy penalties.

Costs variable

Sealing of Radon Entry Routes

See Comments

$100 - $2,000

None

Normally only used with other techniques; proper materials & installation required

House (Basement) Pressurization

50 - 99%

$500 - $1,500

$150 - $500

Works best with tight basement isolated from outdoors & upper floors.

Natural Ventilation

Variable/
Temporary

None
$200 - $500 if additional vents installed

$100 - $700

Significant heated/cooled air loss; operating costs depend on utility rates & amount of ventilation.

Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV)

Variable/
See Comments

$1,200 - $2,500

$75 - $500 for continuous operation

Limited use; effectiveness limited by radon concentration and the amount of ventilation air available for dilution by the HRV.  Best applied to limited-space areas like basements.

Private Well Water Systems:  Aeration

95 - 99%

$3,000 - $4,500

$50 - $150

Generally more efficient than GAC; requires annual cleaning to maintain effectiveness and to prevent contamination; requires venting radon to outdoors.

Private Well Water Systems:  Granular Activated Carbon (GAC)

85 - 99%

$1,000 - $3,000

None

Less efficient for higher levels than aeration; use for moderate levels (around 5,000 pCi/L or less in water); radioactive radon by-products can build on carbon; may need radiation shield around tank & care in disposal.

  1. NOTES:  The fan electricity and house heating/cooling loss cost range is based on certain assumptions regarding climate your house size, and the cost of electricity and fuel. Your costs may vary.
  2. Costs for cosmetic treatments to the house may increase the typical installation costs shown above.
