Why Radon Mitigation Matters in Multifamily Buildings
Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless gas and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Because multifamily properties often share foundations, ventilation pathways, and utility chases, radon can accumulate at dangerous levels in multiple units—even on upper floors. Properly engineered mitigation is not only a health safeguard but also a legal and financial protection for property stakeholders.
Our Certified Approach
NRPP Certification
All systems are designed and installed in accordance with National Radon Proficiency Program standards, guaranteeing professional quality and regulatory compliance.
Tailored System Design
We evaluate each building’s unique foundation, mechanical systems, and occupancy patterns to create a solution that minimizes radon efficiently.
Advanced Mitigation Techniques
From active sub-slab depressurization systems to crawl space encapsulation and ventilation integration, we apply proven methods scaled for multifamily structures.
Ongoing Testing & Verification
Every installation includes post-mitigation radon testing and reporting, ensuring results meet or exceed EPA action levels.
Protect your tenants with professional radon mitigation.

Radon Mitigation Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is radon and why is it dangerous?
How does radon get into my property?
Radon enters properties through openings in contact with the ground, such as:
- Cracks in concrete slabs and basement floors
- Gaps around pipes, drains, and sump pumps
- Crawl spaces with exposed soil
- Construction joints and wall-floor seams
- Once inside, radon can build up to unsafe levels—especially in well-insulated, energy-efficient homes that don’t have much air exchange.
How do I know if my property has radon?
The only way to know is to test. Radon cannot be detected by smell or sight. Smart Space offers both short-term and continuous digital radon testing, providing a certified report showing your home’s average radon level in picocuries per liter (pCi/L).
- EPA Action Level: 4.0 pCi/L or higher requires mitigation.
- WHO Recommended Level: 2.7 pCi/L or higher.
What is a radon mitigation system?
A radon mitigation system is a ventilation and depressurization system designed to draw radon gas from beneath your home and safely vent it outdoors before it enters your living space. Most systems include:
- A PVC suction pipe installed through the foundation or slab
- A radon fan that runs continuously to pull gases from beneath the home
- An exterior vent pipe terminating above the roofline
- A U-tube manometer (pressure gauge) that shows the fan is operating properly
How long does installation take?
A standard residential system usually takes 1 day to install. Larger or complex homes (such as those with multiple foundations, crawl spaces, or basements) may require a second suction point or a custom configuration.
A house with a crawl space can take 3-5 days to complete depending on the size of the crawl space.
Â
Does mitigation really work?
Yes. A properly designed and installed system can reduce indoor radon levels by up to 99%. Smart Space uses NRPP-certified techniques and equipment that meet or exceed EPA Radon Mitigation Standards (RMS) to ensure lasting results and compliance with Georgia regulations.
Will a radon system affect my property's appearance or resale value?
No — most systems are discreetly installed with clean PVC runs and exterior fans mounted on the exterior side (near AC etc) or attic. In fact, radon-safe certification can increase property value and buyer confidence.
Do I need to maintain the system?
Maintenance is minimal:
- Check the U-tube manometer regularly to confirm suction.
- Ensure the fan is running and vent outlet remains clear.
- Retest your home every two years or after major renovations.
- Fans typically last 8–10 years and can be replaced easily.
Is mitigation needed if my neighbor's test was high?
Not necessarily. Radon levels vary house to house—even next door—because of differences in soil composition, foundation type, and air pressure. Every home should be tested individually.
Who regulates radon mitigation?
In the U.S., the EPA, CDC, and state health departments (such as the Georgia Department of Public Health) oversee standards and licensing. Smart Space Atlanta’s technicians are NRPP-certified, ensuring compliance with national protocols.
