Radon pumps reduce the levels of radon gas in buildings by extracting air from areas of radon gas ingress and venting it into the atmosphere. These extraction pumps are typically sealed, rotary extraction fan units installed inside or outside the building with a discharge point above roof level.
Why do I need a radon pump?
If you live in an area with high radon levels, you may find that you need to install a radon system to reduce the levels of radon that enter your house. Radon is a toxic, radioactive gas that can cause cancer, which is why knowing which radon mitigation system to install for the safety of your family is so important.
Does a radon pump run all the time?
Radon system fans are constantly running to ensure that your home stays safe. Due to its constant work, fans may need to be replaced after five years or more, but it is a simple process for an experienced radon contractor.
