How Much Does Radon Testing and Mitigation Cost?
Understanding the costs of radon testing and mitigation is essential for homeowners aiming to protect their families from this invisible threat. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
Radon Gas Testing Costs
DIY Radon Test Kits: Cost between $40 and $150, available at hardware stores or online retailers like Amazon. These are typically long-term tests. You set them up, leave in place for 90 days or more, send the results to a lab, and receive your radon test report in between 3 to 6 weeks.
Short Term Radon Test: At Radon86, we offer free short-term radon test and consultation that take just 15 minutes. While the test reads radon levels, we’ll answer your questions and provide a recommendation at no cost. If levels are dangerously high, we may suggest immediate action. For moderate levels, we can supply a cost-effective long-term test (between $30 and $100).
Radon Gas Mitigation Costs
Mitigation System Installation: Costs average between $1,500 and $3,000, depending on the complexity of the system and home layout. For example, larger homes or those with complex foundations may require additional piping or equipment. The system type, such as sub-slab depressurization, crawlspace solutions, or other tailored methods can also vary in price. Each installation is customized to ensure effective mitigation.
While the upfront costs may seem significant, reducing radon levels ensures long-term health benefits, making it a worthwhile investment.
