Depending on your property’s layout, a radon fan may be installed in an approved garage attic, primary attic or exterior location as part of an effective radon mitigation system. Installing a radon fan in your garage attic lets you avoid compromising your property’s appearance and worrying about noise pollution. Crucially, these systems protect you from the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. — radon gas.
The Reason for High Radon Levels in Garages
A high radon level in your garage could indicate a wider problem. Radon comes from the soil beneath your property’s foundation. Garages can be susceptible to higher radon levels due to common issues such as cracks in concrete slabs. Garage attic radon mitigation systems treat the source by drawing radon from underneath your property and venting it safely outside.
A Hidden System for a Safer Home
Garage attic radon mitigation systems use no external piping on the front of your house. This type of system is routed through the garage and vented through the roof, preserving your home’s curb appeal.
Another benefit of garage attic radon mitigation is that the sound is contained. This is ideal for homeowners who are sensitive to noise or have living spaces near the system’s path. You also have a handy place to keep your manometer, the pressure gauge that shows when your system is operating correctly. This makes it easy to check your manometer at intervals.
How to Install a Radon Fan in a Garage Attic
Our certified technicians can install a radon fan in your garage attic in just a few steps:
- Collection point: We create a small collection point in the slab. The suction pipe seals to the slab to prevent radon gas from escaping.
- Concealed piping: We route PVC piping from the collection point discreetly through the garage into the garage attic.
- Fan and ventilation: Continuously extracting radon from below the home, the attic fan safely expels the gas via a roof stack, ensuring it’s far from any windows or outdoor recreational spots.
We’ll provide you with a free radon test kit before you commit to assess your levels. You will also get another kit after your installation to ensure your system is working correctly.
