What it does
Homes with crawl spaces get a sub-membrane system: a heavy plastic barrier sealed over the soil with a suction pipe and fan beneath it. Newer Ashburn homes built with passive radon-resistant features (a stubbed pipe in the attic or garage) can usually be activated by adding a fan, the least expensive fix of all. Both are quoted the same way, FREE, with the contractor's written guarantee.
What is included
- Sub-membrane crawl-space systems
- Activating passive new-construction pipes
- Sealing and encapsulation options
- Combined radon and moisture solutions
Why Ashburn businesses add this
Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, according to the EPA and the U.S. Surgeon General, and it has no smell or color. About one in every fifteen U.S. homes has elevated levels; in Zone 1 counties like Loudoun County the share is higher. Most Ashburn homeowners find out during a home sale, with a closing date a few weeks away and no idea which contractor to trust or what the job should cost.
What it costs
| Service | Typical cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard sub-slab system, single suction point | $800 – $1,500 | most basements and slab homes |
| Larger or multi-point system, interior routing, high-level readings | $1,500 – $2,500 | finished basements, additions, levels above 20 pCi/L |
| Crawl-space sub-membrane system | $1,500 – $3,000 | depends on crawl-space size |
