NEW CONSTRUCTION RADON RESISTANT MITIGATION
Build Radon Protection Into Your Utah Home From Day One
Radon-Resistant New Construction (RRNC) in Utah
Building a new home in Utah? Incorporating radon-resistant new construction (RRNC) features during the build phase costs much less to install compared to instaling a new system in a finished home.
​
Utah Radon Removal works with builders and homeowners to install EPA-compliant RRNC systems that can easily be upgraded to active systems if post-construction testing reveals elevated radon.
60–80% cheaper than retrofitting
No disruption to finished floors
Upgrade to active system anytime
Required in many Utah counties
Satisfies buyer radon inspections
RRNC System Components
Gas-permeable gravel layer beneath the slab
6-mil polyethylene vapor retarder over the gravel
3–4 inch PVC suction pipe through the home to roofline
Electrical rough-in near the pipe for future fan
Sealed penetrations at all foundation openings

Passive RRNC vs. Active RRNC
Passive RRNC
Uses natural pressure, no fan. Reduces radon 30–50%. Cost-effective starting point. Convert to active if needed after testing.
Active RRNC
Passive system + inline radon fan. 90%+ reduction continuously. Best for Zone 1 Utah counties and high-radon geology areas.
