Why Radon Is a Serious Issue in Illinois Homes

Illinois consistently reports elevated residential radon levels due to a combination of glacial soils, underlying rock formations, and widespread basement construction. These conditions allow radon gas to migrate from the ground into homes through cracks, sump pits, crawlspaces, and foundation gaps.

Because radon is invisible and odorless, many homeowners are unaware of elevated levels until testing is performed. Radon issues occur statewide and are not limited to a specific region or home style.

How Radon Mitigation Works

Most homes are fixed with a venting system (often called “sub-slab depressurization”). A pipe and fan pull radon from under the foundation and vent it safely outside.

1) Test
Short-term tests (2–7 days) are common. Long-term tests (90+ days) give the best average.
2) Confirm
If results are elevated, confirm with a second test (or long-term test), depending on your timing.
3) Mitigate
A pro installs the system and verifies performance with a post-mitigation test.

Typical Mitigation Cost in Illinois

Costs vary by foundation type, routing complexity, and whether additional sealing is needed. The quote process is quick and most installs are completed in a day.

What affects price?

  • Basement vs. crawlspace vs. slab
  • Number of suction points required
  • Electrical access for the fan
  • Finished spaces and routing complexity
  • Need for sealing, sump covers, or crawlspace liner

Typical cost: $800–$1,500

Tip: Ask your installer what post-mitigation level they target and how they verify it.

FAQ

What radon level is considered “high”?

The EPA action level is 4.0 pCi/L — many homeowners also choose to fix levels between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L.

Does mitigation work?

Yes — properly installed systems typically reduce radon significantly. Verification testing confirms performance.

Should I test again after mitigation?

Yes. A post-mitigation test is the proof your system is working. Many homeowners re-test periodically.
