Radon is a radioactive gas that forms from the breakdown of uranium in the soil. Once formed, it rises from the soil to dissipate into the air. Generally the outdoor air level for radon gas ranges from 0.4pCi/L to 0.7pCi/L which is generally considered safe. The issue with radon gas comes when radon has nowhere to dissipate. When a structure blocks it’s path up from the soil, radon will find a way inside to continue rising.

Radon Mitigation For Office & Retail
Radon Mitigation For Office & Retail Buildings
Radon mitigation in commercial spaces, including office buildings, retail establishments, hotels, and recreational facilities, is essential for ensuring a safe indoor environment for employees, customers, and guests. Before designing a mitigation system, thorough testing is required to assess radon levels, airflow dynamics, and structural characteristics. Factors such as building size, foundation type, ventilation systems, and occupancy patterns influence the selection of mitigation methods, fan capacity, and piping configurations.
With expert assessment and professional installation, property owners can maintain compliance with safety regulations while enhancing indoor air quality. Investing in radon mitigation not only protects occupants but also boosts property value, business reputation, and overall tenant or guest satisfaction.
Methods For Radon Mitigation
Radon mitigation is a must for any office or retail building, and there are a few different ways to go about it. Each method helps ultimately reduce the radon levels inside the building, taking into account the property’s configuration, age, and other key variables.
Sub-Slab Depressurization: A large collection point must be dug out from underneath the structure. This is done by coring a hole into the slab and manually removing the soil underneath until we have a good suction pit to work with. The size of the suction pit under the slab is dependent on the footprint of the structure. Larger buildings typically require multiple suction points to achieve maximum depressurization. Once the suction points are in place, we attach the proper piping and run it to the exterior. On the exterior, the commercial radon fan is attached and the vent stack runs above the roofline in accordance with EPA regulations.
Drain-Tile Depressurization: Drain-tile depressurization is simply a different way to achieve sub-slab depressurization with the only difference being the collection point. If the structure has a drain-tile system underneath the slab, we can attach our radon mitigation piping to that system to achieve negative pressure throughout the entirety of its footprint. Drain-tile depressurization is the most effective method of mitigation because of how freely the system can move air from underneath the building to draw the radon gas out.
