System repairs
Radon fans don’t last forever — most run 5 to 10 years. When one fails, the system stops protecting the house, often without anyone noticing.
We repair any brand and any installer’s system, including systems whose original installer is out of business. Most repairs run $500 to $1,000.
Signs your system needs a look
The gauge is level
The U-tube manometer on the pipe should show the liquid at two different heights. Level on both sides means the fan isn’t pulling.
The fan is silent
A working fan makes a low, steady hum. Silence usually means a failed motor.
New noise or rattling
Grinding or vibration often means bearings on the way out. Cheaper to replace before it seizes.
Water or a loose joint
Condensation at a coupling, or a pipe that has come loose, lets soil gas back into the house.
After any repair we recommend a follow-up radon test, so you know the system is doing its job again.
Send us a photo of the fan and gauge.
That’s usually enough for us to tell you what’s wrong and roughly what it costs.
