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.

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.
