Radon Mitigation

WATERPROOFING DIVISION

Radon Mitigation in DuPage County.

Testing, active soil depressurization, vent pipe install, and ongoing monitoring. Illinois-licensed mitigation contractors — DuPage averages above EPA action level.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Every visit, every time.

Radon testing

48-hour continuous radon monitor placed by an IL-licensed measurement pro.

Active soil depressurization

Suction point cored in the slab, fan-driven venting above the roofline.

Vent pipe installation

4" PVC routed exterior or interior, terminated above the roofline.

System monitoring

Visible u-tube manometer + post-install retest to confirm reduction.

HOW IT WORKS

Our process — 4 steps.

  1. Initial test

    48-hour test, lab-analyzed report with the radon level in pCi/L.

  2. Mitigation plan

    Suction-point location, pipe route, fan model — drawn before install.

  3. Install

    Most systems installed in one day. Manometer mounted at the panel.

  4. Post-install retest

    Free 48-hour retest 24 hours after install — confirms < 4 pCi/L.

WHY SUNSET FOR RADON MITIGATION

Three reasons it's worth the call.

IL-licensed mitigation

Illinois IEMA-licensed mitigation pros — required for documented results.

Post-install retest free

We confirm reduction with a real follow-up test, not a guarantee on paper.

Above-roofline vent

Code-compliant termination — not the cheaper sidewall shortcut.

HOW PRICING WORKS

Pricing on DuPage properties typically depends on three things:

Property size
Square footage of turf, beds, and hardscape we touch.
Service frequency
One-time, weekly, every-other-week, or seasonal.
Add-ons
Aeration, overseeding, cleanup, and similar extras.

QUESTIONS · ANSWERED

Radon Mitigation questions, answered.

How do I know if I really have a water problem or just humidity?

A real water issue shows up after heavy rain — water at the floor edges, dark stains on the walls, or seepage at the corners. Pure humidity is musty smell, occasional summer dampness, and clammy walls without visible water. We can tell which it is during a 30-minute site visit.

How long does the typical fix take?

Interior drain tile + sump installation: 2-3 days. Exterior membrane waterproofing: 4-7 days including perimeter excavation and landscape restoration. Sump pump swap-out: same-day. Foundation crack repair: 1 day per major crack.

What kind of warranty do you offer?

Interior drain tile + sump systems: 25-year transferable warranty. Exterior membranes: 10-15 years. Foundation crack repair: 5-10 years depending on the crack type. Drainage repairs: 5 years. We put the warranty in writing on the contract.

Will the work damage my landscape?

Interior work doesn't touch the yard at all. Exterior membrane work requires perimeter excavation — usually 3-5 feet out from the foundation. We hand-dig around irrigation, photograph plantings before we start, and restore the landscape on the same crew rotation. Plant-replacement guarantee covers any losses.

Do you offer financing?

Yes — for projects $5,000 and up. Most homeowners qualify for 12 or 24-month deferred-interest plans through our lending partner. Application takes 10 minutes online, approval is usually same-day.
