Radon-Ready New Construction in Dallas, TX
Typical cost: Rough-ins typically $350 – $800 during construction; activation later only if needed
The cheapest radon system ever installed is the one roughed in while the slab is being poured. A radon-ready rough-in is simple: a gravel layer or collection point under the slab, a sealed vapor barrier, and a capped vertical pipe run through the framing to the attic — a few hundred dollars of pipe and planning during construction, versus the full retrofit price and exterior routing compromises of doing it after the certificate of occupancy.
The finished home then gets tested like any other. If it tests low — the likely outcome in North Texas — the passive stack simply sits capped in the walls, a selling point in the documents. If it tests elevated, activation is a one-hour visit: a fan in the attic run, a manometer, done — no drilling the new slab, no pipe bolted to the new facade. The homeowner gets a mitigated house that looks untouched.
For builders and custom-home clients in the northern suburbs' relocation belt, radon-ready construction is also a sales answer: buyers from radon-aware states ask, and 'the system is already in the walls' ends the conversation. We work from your foundation plan, coordinate with the plumber's schedule, and document the rough-in for the buyer file.
