radon pipe in basement

The radon pipe in my basement runs from a small hole in the concrete slab up to the roof, with an inline fan that hums quietly. It's supposed to pull radioactive gas from under the house and vent it outside, keeping the air safe to breathe. I check the gauge on the pipe every few months to make sure the fan is still working—it's one of those things you don't think about until you test for radon and realize it's a real problem in this area.

Installing a radon fan is a hands-on job that involves sealing a sub-slab depressurization system, running PVC pipe from a sump hole through the rim joist, and mounting the fan outside the living space. You'll need to level the fan base, ensure proper electrical connection, and test that the manometer shows a steady negative pressure. It's a satisfying fix that quietly pulls radon from under the house and vents it safely above the roof.
