FAQ | Can I Install a Radon Mitigation System Myself?

Technically, yes – you can install your own radon mitigation system but you should only attempt to do so if you have extensive skill with this kind of work. Most residential radon mitigation systems in the Twin Cities use active sub-slab depressurization, which involves cutting into your slab, installing PVC piping, sealing foundation penetrations, and wiring a continuous-duty fan. If you feel confident in your ability to do all of these things, you can try a do-it-yourself installation.

DIY Radon Mitigation

The cost for DIY radon mitigation system installation will be limited to materials; depending on the size of your home and current prices, the final cost will likely be in the $500 to $1,000 range or slightly higher. Professional radon mitigation system installation in the Twin Cities area will typically cost somewhere between $1,200 and $2,500, so you may not be saving yourself much money.

Even if you have experience with home renovation work, there are some situations where you’ll need to turn to a professional. You should hire a certified radon mitigation system installer in the Twin Cities if:

  • You’re not comfortable drilling through concrete or running PVC vent piping.
  • You have a complex foundation, such as crawlspace and concrete slab, or multiple levels.
  • Your basement is fully finished.
  • You don’t know where to place the mitigation system’s suction pit.
  • You plan to sell your home in the near future; buyers generally prefer documented professional work.
  • Local building codes require installation by licensed professionals.

When You Should Test for Radon

Issues caused by DIY radon mitigation system installation can prove far more costly than professional installation. Incorrect fan size, inadequate system sealing, and poor suction pit design can all result in your system being ineffective at expelling radon from your home.
