Signs your radon system needs attention
- The manometer liquid is level (both sides even). That usually means the fan has stopped pulling suction.
- No hum at the fan, or a new grinding, rattling or whining noise.
- A recent test came back high even though you have a system.
- Visible pipe damage, loose joints or ice buildup at the exhaust in winter.
- A tripped breaker or unplugged fan after other electrical work.
Passive radon pipes in newer Omaha homes
Some newer homes were built with a passive radon pipe running from under the slab up through the roof, but no fan. A passive pipe alone may not lower radon enough. If a test shows high levels, adding an inline fan to the existing pipe is often the simplest fix. Ask about it in your request.
