If a radon test came back high, you don’t have to live with it. David Smith Radon Remedies designs and installs custom radon mitigation systems that pull radon gas out from beneath your home and vent it safely above the roofline, quietly, cleanly, and guaranteed to drop your levels below the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L.

We’ve installed 10,000+ systems across Central Illinois since 1998, and most homes are finished in a single day.

What Is Radon Mitigation?

Radon mitigation is the process of permanently lowering the radon level in a building. The most proven method, and the one we specialize in, is active sub-slab depressurization. A small, sealed pipe draws radon-laden air from the soil beneath your foundation, and a specialized in-line fan vents it up and out above your roof, where it dissipates harmlessly. This creates a low-pressure zone under your slab so radon is captured before it can enter your living space.

Our Radon Mitigation Process

  • Diagnostic & design. We evaluate your foundation, sump, and layout to design the most effective, least-intrusive system for your home.
  • Professional installation. We core the slab, run sealed PVC piping, seal foundation openings, and install a properly sized radon fan and warning device.
  • Clean workmanship. Special tools and filters keep dust and debris out of your home. We leave it cleaner than we found it.
  • Verification. We recommend a post-mitigation test so you have written proof your radon is below 4.0 pCi/L. We guarantee it.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer radon testing?
We do not offer radon testing. We install and service radon mitigation systems. For a test, use a licensed Illinois radon measurement professional or a home test kit, then send us your result for a free quote.
How much does a radon mitigation system cost?
Most residential radon mitigation systems run $1,450–$2,500, depending on your foundation, the layout of your home, and where the system routes. We give a free, no-obligation estimate up front, no surprises. See what affects the price
How long does installation take?
Most systems are installed in about half a day, and you can stay home while we work. It can take a little longer for larger homes, bigger crawlspaces, or older homes that need multiple suction points or more complicated work, but most are still done within one day.
Will the system really lower my radon?
Yes, and we guarantee it. A properly designed sub-slab depressurization system routinely brings homes from double-digit radon levels down below the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. We recommend a follow-up test to confirm the result in writing, and if it isn’t below 4.0, we’ll come back and make it right.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. We’re a Licensed Radon Mitigation Specialist through the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), license #RNM2020203, and fully insured. Radon mitigation in Illinois must be performed by a licensed professional.
