Radon Mitigation for Rental Homes
For landlords, radon mitigation should solve a problem, not create a new one. We keep the work contained, the system properly placed, and hand over documentation and warranty before we leave.
One Less Property Problem to Think About
Clean systems for occupied properties
Your tenants are living there. We install neatly and work efficiently so the finished system looks right and the disruption is kept to a minimum.
Reliable performance over time
Our systems are designed for long-term reliability. The goal is to install once and have it work, not create a recurring maintenance problem.
Strong inclusive warranty coverage
No trip charge. Fan replacement included for 5 years. If the fan ever needs replacement, the new fan gets its own 5-year warranty. Coverage that holds up over time.
Fast service if a fan needs attention
If a tenant reports a fan issue or the manometer reading changes, call us. We’ll check the problem and confirm whether warranty coverage applies.
Documented proof the issue was handled
A state licensed install keeps your tenants safer and gives you documented proof the radon issue was addressed correctly, useful for both tenant relations and property records.
Licensed documentation
Every install comes with written documentation from a state licensed mitigator, ready for your records and transferable when you sell the property.
Keeping the System Running
Check the manometer regularly to make sure the system is operating normally. If the reading changes from its marked normal level, or if the fan becomes noisy, call us right away.
With a properly installed system, strong warranty coverage, and fast service if a fan ever stops or becomes noisy, radon becomes one less property problem to track.
For existing systems, our fan replacement and system service page explains common warning signs. Current customers can also use the customer care page for warranty and system-care details.

Landlord Questions
Illinois tenant disclosure rules, licensing, how long the install takes, how long fans last, and what the warranty covers.
How long does a typical radon mitigation install take?
Most residential installs are completed in a single visit, often a few hours once the plan is set. Bill looks at the home first so materials and routing are right. Real estate closings get scheduled around the calendar when you tell us the date early.
What is your warranty?
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. A replacement fan installed under warranty receives its own five-year term. Ordinary fan replacement outside warranty is $575, including the fan, the visit, the labor, and a new five-year term. No trip charge. Details, including transferability, are in your customer packet after install.
Are you state licensed in Illinois?
Yes. American Radon Systems holds Illinois radon mitigation license RNM2018212. Anyone hired to perform radon mitigation in Illinois must be appropriately state licensed. Illinois exempts a person doing measurement or mitigation in the dwelling where that person resides. Measurement and mitigation are separate professional license categories; American Radon Systems provides mitigation, not testing.
How long does a radon fan last?
EPA says radon fans may last five years or more, and notes that manufacturer warranties tend not to exceed five years. EPA does not give a fixed replacement date. The fan tells you when it is wearing out: it gets noticeably louder, rattles, grinds, hums, or goes silent, and the manometer drops to level. If a fan we installed fails during its first five years, the service visit, labor, and replacement fan are included.
Do Illinois landlords have to disclose radon to tenants?
Yes, for rental units below the third story. At the time of application, before the lease is entered into, or later on request, an Illinois lessor must give the tenant the IEMA-OHS pamphlet Radon Guide for Tenants, copies of any radon records for the unit that show a radon hazard, and the Disclosure of Information on Radon Hazards to Tenants form. A tenant may run their own test early in the lease and share the result, and the landlord may respond with a follow-up test. A documented mitigation system is the cleanest way to close the question for that tenant and the next one. This is a summary, not legal advice; the IEMA-OHS lessors and tenants page has the current rules.
