Radon System Care & Warranty Information
Thank you for trusting American Radon Systems with your home. This page covers the basics: what was installed, what to keep an eye on, and what to do next.
Print this packet and keep it with your home paperwork, especially if you sell the home or have questions about the radon system later. Bookmark this page or save the packet so you can find your warranty and radon system care information later.
Installed for your house
Your system was laid out around your foundation, sump or crawlspace details, and the cleanest practical pipe route.
Always-on fan
The fan runs continuously to pull soil gas from below the home and vent it safely outside.
State licensed work
American Radon Systems performs mitigation work under Illinois Radon Mitigation License RNM2018212.
What Was Installed
Most mitigation systems use PVC piping, a continuously running radon fan, and sealed openings to pull radon from below the home before it can build up indoors. The exact layout depends on the house, but the goal is simple: move radon safely outside and keep the system easy to understand.
Bill or the crew should have shown you the manometer, which is the small U-shaped gauge on the pipe. That gauge does not show the radon level. It shows that the fan is creating suction.

Check the U-tube
The U-tube manometer shows whether the fan is still applying suction. Liquid levels should be uneven. If both sides are level or flat, the system is not showing suction. Text Bill a clear photo of the fan and the U-tube manometer if you are not sure.
Listen for the fan
A properly working radon fan is not perfectly silent. Most produce a soft, steady sound of air moving through the pipe. A fan that becomes noticeably louder, rattles, grinds, hums, or sends vibration through the wall may be wearing out or may have another system issue that should be checked. If the system becomes completely silent, check the manometer. Call or text Bill's cell.
Look outside
Make sure the exterior pipe and fan look secure, undamaged, and clear of anything leaning on them.
Leave sealed areas alone
Sump lids, crawlspace covers, and sealed openings are part of the system. Try not to move or disturb them.
Please Complete a Post-Mitigation Radon Test
After installation, please complete a post-mitigation radon test. That is the way to confirm the radon level in the home after the system has been running.
When you have the result, please send us a photo, screenshot, or copy of the report. It helps American Radon Systems keep your job file complete and makes it easier to help if you ever have a question later.
When to Call for Help
Call or text Bill's cell if the manometer looks flat, the fan is noisy or silent, the pipe or fan gets damaged, a sump or crawlspace cover is moved, or your post-mitigation test result raises a question. That number is Bill's cell phone: text a clear photo of the fan and the U-tube manometer anytime. A fan that becomes noticeably louder, rattles, grinds, hums, or sends vibration through the wall may be wearing out or may have another system issue that should be checked. If the system becomes completely silent, check the manometer. We can typically come out the same day or the next day. If a fan we install fails during the first five years, we replace it at no cost to the homeowner. The service visit, labor, and replacement fan are all included. See radon fan replacement.
Buying a Home and Comparing Systems?
Warranty support matters after closing because the buyer lives with the system. If radon came up during a home inspection, get a real quote during the inspection window.
