How It Works

How Radon Mitigation Works

The goal of mitigation is to reduce the radon levels in your home to a non-dangerous level. It is virtually impossible to remove all traces of radon. Radon gas is everywhere, including outside. The key is to reduce the levels you breathe in your home to a level that is safe.


To install a mitigation system in your home involves sealing the ground exposure in crawl spaces with a vapor proof barrier, sealing cracks in basement cement and installing exhaust fans which vent air to the outside.

Equipment we prefer:

KTA 150 Low Voltage Radon Fan System with 25 Feet of Cable

These fans plug right into 110 receptacles (Class 2 – 24 volt). Radon fans are a must for doing the radon project right.

  • 24 volt Class 2 power limiting power supply.
  • KTA 150 fan ( See Fan Characteristics for Fantech FR-150.
  • Special Class 2 cable available in 25 and 50 ft. lengths. Call about longer lengths.
  • System operation/failure indicator as required by EPA Mitigation Standards.
  • Triple fail-safe electrical disconnect system at both fan and power supply.
  • Three-year factory warranty indicator and transformers. Five-year warranty on fan.
  • Easy to interpret system indicator for homeowner.
  • Circuit breaker that will trip under high load conditions such as blockage to improve fan life.
