Do contractors serve Fairfield?

Some do, though travel fees may apply. We'll try to connect you with a contractor who covers your area.

Our Fairfield home sits on a slab. Can it still have radon?

Yes. Slab homes can have radon. Mitigation typically involves a pipe through the slab with a fan that vents the gas outside.

We use well water. Is radon in water a concern?

It can be. Air testing comes first, but ask about a separate water test if you're on a private well.

How much does radon mitigation cost in Fairfield?

Utah DEQ says a system should cost around $2,000, and price depends on the home's size, foundation and layout rather than the city. See our cost guide for details.

Who can install a radon system in Fairfield?

Utah requires a licensed contractor with NRPP or NRSB certification. A handyman registration does not qualify.

Radon Mitigation in Fairfield, UT

Radon and Fairfield homes

Fairfield is a small, historic town in southern Cedar Valley on the west side of Utah County, home to Camp Floyd State Park and the historic Stagecoach Inn. It is rural, with farmland and widely spaced homes.

Homes in Fairfield include older houses, manufactured homes and newer rural builds. Foundations vary widely, from full basements to crawlspaces and slab-on-grade, and many properties use private wells.

Fairfield tip: Because Fairfield is rural, confirm that a contractor serves southern Cedar Valley and ask about any travel fee before booking an on-site assessment.

Should you test your Fairfield home?

Yes. The Utah County Health Department says one out of three Utah homes has unsafe radon levels, and recommends testing at least every five years or after a remodel. The EPA radon zone map places Utah County in Zone 2 (moderate potential), but EPA is clear that the map can't predict any single home and that every home should be tested. Radon in Fairfield can differ from house to house, even on the same street.

Test the lowest level of your home that you use as living space. The colder months are the best time to test. You can order a discounted short-term kit through radon.utah.gov, or borrow a professional continuous monitor from the Utah County Health Department's Provo office from October through March for a small fee.

What your result means

Below 4 pCi/L: below the EPA and Utah action level. Retest every two to five years.
4 to 6 pCi/L: Utah DEQ suggests a long-term test to confirm.
Above 4 pCi/L: EPA and Utah suggest mitigation. Contact a certified professional.

How radon mitigation works in Fairfield

According to Utah DEQ, a typical system uses a roughly five-inch hole in the foundation, four-inch PVC pipe and an exhaust fan outside or in the attic to pull radon from under the home and vent it away. DEQ estimates the cost at around $2,000, plus about $8 to $10 a month in electricity, with a fan replacement after about 15 years. Get a retest after the system has run for at least 24 hours, and check the manometer gauge regularly. See our radon mitigation cost guide for what changes the price.

Choosing a contractor

Utah requires mitigation to be done by a licensed contractor with NRPP or NRSB certification. Utah DEQ suggests getting three bids and looking for diagnostic testing, a warning device, a post-install retest and a written guarantee to reach 4 pCi/L or below. When you request a quote, we pass it to an independent, licensed, certified contractor who serves Fairfield.
