Radon and Woodland Hills homes
Woodland Hills is a small, wooded hillside city above Salem in south Utah County, at the base of Loafer Mountain. Homes sit on larger, sloping, tree-covered lots along winding roads.
Most Woodland Hills homes are single-family houses, many custom-built into hillsides with walkout or full basements. Rocky, sloped ground and hillside foundations are common.
Woodland Hills tip: On hillside homes, ask the contractor how they'll route the pipe and where the fan will go. Exterior routing is common, but options depend on your lot.
Should you test your Woodland Hills 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 Woodland Hills 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 Woodland Hills
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 Woodland Hills.

Our Woodland Hills home is on a wooded slope. Can it be mitigated?
Usually. Contractors adapt routing to the slope and foundation.
Does rocky ground mean more radon?
Radon depends on soil and rock under the home, but it varies too much to predict. Testing is the only way to know.
Do contractors serve Woodland Hills?
Many south-county contractors do. Ask about travel fees when booking.
How much does radon mitigation cost in Woodland Hills?
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 Woodland Hills?
