A radon mitigation system is only effective when it is running properly. Fans wear out, seals degrade, and u-tube manometers need checking. We provide maintenance, repair, and fan replacement services for radon systems in Twinsburg and surrounding communities — whether we installed the original system or someone else did.
What We Check During a Maintenance Visit
Our annual radon system inspection covers every component from the suction point to the exhaust cap. We check the radon fan for proper operation, inspect the PVC piping for cracks or separations, verify the u-tube manometer reading, inspect all sealant and caulking around the suction point, and test the system's overall depressurization performance.
We also run a short-term radon test during the visit to verify the system is still reducing radon to below the EPA's 4.0 pCi/L action level. If levels have crept up, we diagnose the cause — whether it is a weakening fan, a new foundation crack, or a seal that has deteriorated over time. Homes in the older Twinsburg neighborhoods along Darrow Road and Liberty Park see more sealant degradation due to seasonal foundation movement.
Radon Fan Replacement
Radon fans run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Even high-quality RP-series fans will eventually wear out — typically after 8-12 years of continuous use. Common signs of fan failure include increased noise or vibration, reduced suction (visible on the u-tube manometer), or complete silence when the fan should be running.
We stock the most common radon fan models and can replace a failed fan the same day in most cases. If your system uses a fan model we do not stock, we can source it within 1-2 business days. Every fan replacement includes a post-swap radon test to confirm the new fan is performing correctly.
Maintaining Systems We Did Not Install
You do not need to call the company that originally installed your radon system for maintenance or repairs. We service all brands and configurations of radon mitigation systems throughout Summit County. Whether your system was installed by a national franchise, a local competitor, or a previous homeowner, we can maintain and repair it.
If we find that an existing system was poorly designed or installed, we will explain the issues and provide options — from targeted repairs to a full system upgrade. Some older systems in Twinsburg and Sagamore Hills homes use undersized fans or inadequate sealing that limits their effectiveness. A fan upgrade or additional suction point can often solve the problem without replacing the entire system.
When to Schedule Maintenance
Schedule annual maintenance in the fall before winter heating season, when homes are sealed tight and radon levels tend to be highest. If you have not had your system checked in over two years, or if your u-tube manometer shows no pressure difference, call us for an inspection.
Need a radon system installed in the first place? See our radon mitigation system installation page. If you are not sure whether your radon levels need attention, start with professional radon testing. For homes with open sump pits undermining system performance, we offer sump pit sealing as a standalone service. Contact us to schedule a maintenance visit.
