Radon System Relocation and Rerouting
An existing radon system does not always need to be torn out and started over. If a pipe or fan is in the way of a finished basement, remodeling project, addition, doorway, cabinet, wall, or living space, the system may be able to be relocated or rerouted.
Bill looks at the existing system, the home, and the remodeling plan before recommending what should move, what can stay, and what can be reused.

Homeowners often need to move a radon pipe, relocate a radon mitigation system, or reroute a radon pipe in a basement when living space changes. The same is true when adding a room, changing an exterior radon pipe location, or redesigning an existing radon system so it fits the home better.
We do not assume every system needs to be replaced. We look for the cleanest practical solution that preserves usable components while maintaining proper system performance.
Not every system can be moved, and not every component can be reused. Bill evaluates the layout before recommending a plan.
When a Radon System May Need to Move
What Can Be Relocated?
Depending on the condition and layout of the system, it may be possible to relocate the interior pipe, exterior pipe, fan, discharge route, manometer, or other components. Some existing parts may be reusable, while others may need to be replaced to maintain proper performance and a clean installation.
How the Process Works
Step 1. Bill looks at the current system and the homeowner’s remodeling or addition plans.
Step 2. The suction points, pipe route, fan location, electrical connection, manometer, sump lid, crawl-space components, and discharge path are evaluated.
Step 3. A new route is planned around the home and the intended use of the space.
Step 4. Usable components are identified.
Step 5. The system is relocated, rebuilt, labeled, and checked.
Step 6. The homeowner is advised about post-work radon testing.

Remodels, Additions, and Living Space
A radon system during basement remodeling often needs a cleaner interior route so the pipe is not in the middle of a new living area. A radon system for a home addition may need new suction planning, discharge changes, or fan relocation so the system still works after the footprint changes.
Sometimes the issue is simply an awkward route that no longer fits the space. Other times vibration or noise is related to the current location of the fan or pipe. Bill studies the home and the intended use of the space before recommending what should move.

Talk Through a Relocation Plan
Send photos of the current pipe route, fan location, and the area you want to change. Bill can help you understand what may be practical before remodel work locks the layout in.
Already have a radon system?
You do not have to know who installed it or exactly what is wrong before calling. American Radon Systems checks, repairs, activates, reroutes, relocates, and improves existing systems throughout the communities we serve.
