What Are Signs My Radon Mitigation System Isn’t Working?
A radon mitigation system that isn’t functioning properly isn’t just an inconvenience – it’s a health risk. Health Canada has established a guideline of 200 Bq/m³ as the action level for radon in Canadian homes, and a failed or underperforming mitigation system can cause indoor radon levels to climb above that threshold, without any visible warning signs. The following issues may warrant a radon mitigation system repair:
radon fan replacement
What Does a Radon Fan Do?
A radon fan is the engine behind your entire radon mitigation system. It works by continuously drawing radon gas from beneath your home’s foundation and venting it safely outside – before it has a chance to seep into your living space. Essentially, it reverses the natural flow of radon that would otherwise move upward through cracks, gaps, and penetration points in your foundation.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Have more questions about radon system repairs? We’re always happy to explain the science.
Do I need to do anything to maintain my radon mitigation system?
Radon mitigation systems are largely passive, but that doesn’t mean they’re maintenance-free. At a minimum, you should check your system’s pressure indicator a few times per year and listen for any changes in fan noise. It’s also a good idea to have it professionally inspected every few years and to re-test your radon levels periodically to confirm that good results are holding. Small issues caught early are far less costly to fix than a complete system failure.
What does a radon system repair typically involve?
Radon mitigation repairs vary based on the issue. Common repairs include replacing a failed fan, resealing penetration points where suction is being lost, repairing or re-routing piping that has been damaged or improperly installed, and addressing water intrusion issues. Every repair starts with a proper diagnosis – we’ll assess the system’s pressure and airflow before recommending any work, so you’re only paying for what’s actually needed.
Should I replace my old radon mitigation system or just repair it?
This depends on the age of the system, the nature of the problem, and whether the original installation was done correctly. If your fan has failed, but the rest of the system is sound, a replacement fan typically all you’ll need. If the system was poorly installed to begin with – e.g. wrong placement, insufficient suction, improper sealing, etc. – a repair may only offer a short-term fix, making a system replacement more cost-effective in the long run. We’ll give you an honest assessment of whether a repair or a redesigned system makes more sense for your situation.
Why is my radon fan making noise?
Some low-level humming from a radon fan is completely normal, as it’s a motorized device running around the clock. However, if you notice a change in the sound your fan is making – like rattling, grinding, increased vibration, or a high-pitched whine – that’s a sign something may be wrong. Unusual noises often indicate that the fan’s motor or bearings are beginning to fail. Catching and addressing this early can prevent a complete breakdown and keep your system running without interruption.
