Radon mitigation in new construction

The project was funded by the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service.

In areas with radon, it is best to install a radon mitigation system during new construction to ensure healthy indoor air quality.

In this video, Ilya Benesch, building educator at the Cold Climate Housing Research
Center, demonstrates the essential steps of installing a radon mitigation system for slab-on-grade foundations. The video follows the EPA guidelines for installing radon mitigation systems.
