Will a basement digout affect my radon levels?

A properly executed New Jersey digout actually improves radon outcomes. The new slab is poured over a fresh vapor barrier and a passive radon-ready stub-up, which permits straightforward activation of a sub-slab depressurization system in the event that post-construction testing exceeds four picocuries per liter, the EPA action level.

Northern and central New Jersey counties including Morris, Sussex, Hunterdon, and Warren sit within EPA Zone 1 for radon exposure. Incorporating radon infrastructure during the digout is far less expensive than retrofitting it after completion.
