Radon Mitigation in Toledo, OH

Toledo sits on a mix of glacial till, lacustrine clay, and bedrock shale that releases radon at higher rates than the national average. The Ohio Department of Health classifies all of Lucas County as Zone 1 — the highest of three EPA radon-risk tiers — with a predicted average indoor concentration above 4.0 pCi/L.

Toledo neighborhoods covered

Old West End brick and stone basements often need extra perimeter sealing because of deteriorated mortar joints. Westgate ranches with shallow slab-on-grade foundations are usually candidates for a single-suction sub-slab system. Point Place homes near the Maumee Bay frequently have full basements and trend on the higher end of the local radon range. East Toledo and South Toledo mid-century homes typically have poured concrete basements that mitigate well with a standard ASD layout.

What a Toledo install typically looks like

• One 4-inch suction point through the basement slab.
• Schedule-40 PVC routed through a closet or mechanical chase to the attic.
• Inline radon fan in unconditioned attic space, vented above the eave.
• Sealing of slab cracks, sump cover, and the slab-wall joint.
• U-tube manometer on the visible riser.
• 24-hour and 30-day post-mitigation tests.
