Even if you must install a fan, adding a radon control system to a house under construction is much less expensive than installing one after the house is built. The average cost for a radon control system in an existing house is comparable to other home repairs. Adding radon-resistant construction now will save you unnecessary expense and worry later.
Architectural Drawings and Technical Information
Detailed model building standards, architectural drawings of radon systems, and fact sheets on alternative radon installations are available on the Builder and Contractor Resources for Radon-Resistant New Construction page.
A growing number of jurisdictions located in areas known to have high radon potential now require or recommend that passive radon systems be installed in all new houses. Contact your State Radon Office to determine if you are building your new home in such an area.

To gain more information about building a radon-resistant house or testing an existing home, please contact the Radon Office in your state.
