Expert Radon Resistant New Construction in Salt Lake County, UT

Radon resistant new construction gives Duchesne County homebuilders a way to stop radon before a home is ever occupied. Duchesne County is listed among Utah's highest-risk counties for elevated radon, driven by the area's uranium-bearing geology and soil composition. Building radon resistance into a new home from the start is far less disruptive than retrofitting a finished structure later. Upfront Radon works directly with builders and homeowners during the construction phase. We install a gas-permeable gravel layer beneath the slab, a soil gas collection pipe, a sealed vapor barrier, and a vent pipe routed above the roofline. Foundation cracks and slab penetrations are sealed as part of the same scope. If radon levels rise after move-in, the passive system can be converted to an active one by adding a vent fan. If you are planning a new build in Duchesne County, contact Upfront Radon to schedule a consultation before your slab is poured.

Radon Resistant New Construction FAQ

Common questions about radon resistant new construction in Salt Lake County, UT.

Yes. Duchesne County is identified as one of Utah's highest-risk counties for elevated indoor radon. Building in radon resistance from the start is the most practical way to protect your household.

We install a gas-permeable layer under the slab, a soil gas collection pipe, a sealed vapor barrier, and a vent pipe that exits above the roofline. Foundation cracks and slab openings are sealed as part of the same scope.

Yes. The passive vent pipe we install during construction is designed to accept a radon vent fan if active depressurization is needed after testing. No major structural work is required to make that upgrade.

Contact us before your foundation slab is poured. That is when the sub-slab components must be placed, and working around a finished slab adds cost and complexity.

Homes with documented radon resistant features can be more appealing to buyers who test for radon before purchase, which is a common practice in Utah real estate transactions.

Yes. We coordinate with builders and general contractors throughout Duchesne County to integrate radon resistant features into the construction schedule. Reach out to discuss your project scope.

So far the process went well. Jed came over and investigated the house to determine where to install the system. He came right back and the system was installed in less than a day. It looks great, but we’ll see how well it functions where we do another radon test.

Jed did a fantastic job! His attention to detail, color matching the pipes to the house, installation, sealing everything up, and cleanup was great. I got several bids and the price was very competitive, but above that, Jed's knowledge showed through with the questions and comments made before work began. I would easily recommend UpFront Radon LLC over others.

Jed and Kyle were great to work with. We appreciate the smaller business handling of everything. They did a great job with communication and the install. Install was less than 4 hours. I appreciated that they came to the house before the install day to look around and offer options of how they think would be best to do the work. There was no pressure, just suggestions and a quote of what it would take. Price was in line with other quotes I got with larger companies (one Utah company and one national company). Quality of the work seems good so far. We did a 'chase' install with the fan in the attic. The fan is a bit louder than I was hoping for, but I think we'll adjust to it quickly and it will likely just be background noise. UPDATE: Jed and Kyle both responded to my review and came back out to look at the fan. There was actually something that was wrong with the fan causing it to be louder. So they replaced it and the noise is barely even noticable now. Great customer service and they stand by their work.

Jed and Kyle did an amazing job on our mitigation system. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully implemented. We are very pleased with how the end result looks. We sincerely recommend UpFront and will recommend them to our neighbors and friends.

Brett Nelson Google review · May 2026

I had a great experience with Upfront Radon! From the initial consultation to the installation, everything was fast, efficient, and professional. The installation was clean, well done, and competitively priced. Kyle and Jed did an outstanding job. They were friendly, respectful of our home, and made sure everything was left spotless when they finished. The owner was also incredibly knowledgeable, took the time to answer all of my questions, and clearly knows his stuff. If you’re looking for a radon mitigation company that’s honest, informative, and does quality work at a fair price, I highly recommend Upfront Radon. Thanks again to Kyle and Jed for taking such great care of us!
