Radon mitigation & testing in Hudson, NH

Finishing a basement in Hudson

If you’re turning a Hudson basement into a family room, office or bedroom, radon testing belongs on the to-do list — before the walls go up.

Test before you finish

Once a basement is lived in, it becomes the “lowest lived-in level” — the spot where radon is typically measured. It is far easier to run a pipe and seal the slab before drywall, flooring and ceilings are installed. (EPA)

Test again after

The EPA recommends retesting after major renovations, and after a mitigation system is installed. (EPA) A post-mitigation test is your proof the system works.

Planning the system with your remodel

• Pick a pipe route that hides inside a closet or chase, or exits through the garage.
• Seal sump pits with an airtight cover that still allows inspection.
• Keep the system’s gauge (manometer) somewhere you can see it.
