Radon Test & Mitigation Services
Radon Mitigation
Bedrock Homes Services uses radon mitigation systems to reduce radon concentrations inside your home. We install a vent pipe system that pulls radon gas from beneath your house and vents it to the outside.
During this process, we will monitor radon levels before and after the radon mitigation vent pipe is installed to ensure the system is functionally optimally.
Mitigation systems start at $995 for a local, single-family standard home.
We use AMG professional-grade fans that are manufactured in the USA. Our fans come with a 5-year replacement warranty.
Digital Radon testing is included with all mitigation installations.

The Radon Mitigation Process
There are a few things to consider before installing a Radon mitigation system.
Age of the House
The age or year a house was built can provide clues in knowing how to plan the installation of a mitigation system. Newer constructed homes are more air tight and tend to have less settling issues due to a better foundations. This help keeps radon gases out, but it can also “trap” the gases inside once they have entered the home.
Area
How big of a foot print does the house have? The more square footage, the more air there is to be pulled out from below the foundation.
Foundation and Soil
This is a critical area that can truly determine how well a mitigation system works. It is harder to move air through soil with large amounts of clay than in soil mixed with sand or gravel.
Fan
Once the foundation, soil and area have been considered, fan size is then determined. A radon fan is selected to best meet the mitigation requirements.
Exhaust Vent
Finally, the mitigation expert must consider how to run a vent pipe out of the house. There are primarily two different routes a radon exhaust vent can exit the home. Most commonly, a pipe exits the house through a wall to the outside. The fan is then mounted to the pipe. From the location of the fan, the pipe will continue and extend up the side of the house—just past the roof line. The other option is to run the pipe through the house and into the attic space. In the attic, the fan is installed and the exhaust pipe penetrates the roof.
Many factors must be considered for a radon mitigation install. This is a brief summary to better educate the customer.
