Passive Radon Mitigation with Nu-Crawl Crawlspace Liners

Air sealing of the crawlspace ground is considered a “passive” method of controlling soil gasses, and should be done in advance of Radon testing.

Quick Answer

Passive radon mitigation in crawlspaces involves air sealing the ground to prevent soil gases, including radon, from entering the home. This method is crucial for improving indoor air quality and protecting health, as porous concrete and standard plastic-and-tape systems are often insufficient barriers against radon. Crawlspaces.com offers the Nu-Crawl Space System, a seamless and durable liner combined with closed-cell foam and Reflectix wall insulation, designed to effectively block radon gas and air infiltration. This comprehensive system creates a robust barrier, significantly reducing radon levels and enhancing overall home well-being and energy efficiency.

Air sealing is a difficult proposition in a crawlspace. Standard plastic and tape are generally not enough due to the inherent flaws of plastic and tape systems. The Nu-Crawl Space System can be used under the guidance of licensed Radon mitigation provider and install an active Radon mitigation system or simply as part of a passive system.

○ Nu-Crawl liners are seamless and durable.
○ Concrete is porous and does not stop soil gases.
○ Plastic and tape systems are easily compromised.

A Seamless Nu-Crawl Space liner and foundation wall insulation/barrier system is the barricade you need to reduce Radon gas in your home. Using closed cell foam and Refelctix as wall insulation, we will also stop air infiltration and Radon gas that enter through the walls. Our certified Nu-Crawl installers are well versed in passive and active Radon mitigation.

Here's what some of our satisfied customers have to say about our Radon Mitigation services:

This review is long overdue. What was once a disaster of a place is now somewhere you don't mind going into to for extra storage. What I find unbelievable is with the recent negative 24 degrees we experienced in the Chicago area, the crawlspace feels warmer than the 69 degrees I have my furnace thermostat set at. Sooooo glad we went with Greg and his crew and product.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 What is the difference between passive and active radon mitigation systems?

The page title indicates that both passive and active radon mitigation systems are offered for crawlspaces. Generally, passive systems rely on natural air movement to vent radon, while active systems use a fan to enhance the ventilation process and more aggressively remove radon from beneath the crawlspace.

2 How does the Nu-Crawl liner system help seal out radon and soil gases?

The Nu-Crawl liner system is specifically designed to seal radon and soil gases out of the crawlspace. By creating a robust barrier, it prevents these harmful gases from entering the living areas of your home, thereby improving indoor air quality.

3 Are the installers for radon mitigation systems certified?

Yes, the meta description confirms that the company employs certified installers for both passive and active radon mitigation systems. This ensures that the installation process adheres to professional standards for effective radon and soil gas sealing.

4 What areas do you serve for crawlspace radon mitigation?

The services for passive and active radon mitigation are available across the Chicagoland area. This ensures that homeowners in the region can access professional solutions for sealing radon and soil gases.
