Benefits of Installing a Passive Radon System
Installing a passive radon mitigation system during new construction offers several advantages. First, there's no reliable way to test the ground for radon before a structure is built. If you're constructing a home in an area known for high radon levels, it's a smart decision to include a passive radon system as part of the build. Resources like the EPA’s Radon Zone Map can help determine if your area has elevated radon risks.
Another key benefit is cost. Installing an Active Soil Depressurization (ASD) system during construction is much more affordable compared to retrofitting a system later. Additionally, building a radon system into the home from the start allows for better aesthetic integration, giving builders the flexibility to hide and route piping without disrupting the home’s design.
