Radon Mitigation in Broadlands, VA
Local, Certified Radon Pros Serving Loudoun County Homes
Northern Virginia Radon Solutions protects Broadlands, VA families with tailored mitigation systems. Our team in Broadlands, VA understands Loudoun’s high radon potential, basement-heavy homes, and tight new construction that can trap gases—especially during winter’s closed-house conditions. We design neat, HOA-conscious installations for townhomes, single-family homes, and condos, delivering reliable reductions that fit your property and budget.
Why Does Radon Mitigation Matter?
Broadlands, VA sits in an EPA Zone 1 area, where geology commonly releases radon into basements and slabs. Many neighborhoods feature finished lower levels and tight envelopes that elevate concentrations when windows stay closed in winter and during summer AC season. Professional mitigation reduces long-term lung cancer risk, protects resale value, and satisfies real-estate requirements, giving you verifiable results backed by local expertise. Crawlspaces, sump pits, and new-build rough-ins can all be integrated for better performance. A properly sized fan and sealed pathways keep levels down year-round.

Fun Facts About Broadlands, VA
Broadlands‘ position as one of Ashburn’s earlier master-planned communities means radon systems installed in the late 1990s and early 2000s now require maintenance attention and potential component replacement. The neighborhood’s homes sit on geology characteristic of the Piedmont province’s crystalline basement rock, where naturally occurring radioactive materials in granite contribute to radon generation. Testing in Broadlands addresses both original construction and renovated basement spaces, as homeowners increasingly finish lower levels for expanded living areas—converting spaces that may have had passive radon systems requiring activation. Our mitigation approach respects the community’s established landscaping and hardscaping, routing vent pipes carefully to avoid irrigation systems and mature tree roots. We conduct sub-slab diagnostic testing to determine optimal suction point locations in basement floors, ensuring efficient radon removal with minimal disruption. Fan repairs in older Broadlands systems often involve upgrading to newer, more energy-efficient models while maintaining the existing PVC vent network, checking electrical connections, and replacing deteriorated flexible couplings.

Fan Replacement & System Modernization on 20-Year-Old Mitigation System Broadlands Neighborhood
The Problem
A Broadlands homeowner noticed their continuous radon monitor had been reading elevated levels for several weeks. Their mitigation system — originally installed in 2003 — appeared to be running but the U-tube manometer showed no pressure differential. The fan motor was humming but no longer generating adequate suction.
This is a common pattern in Loudoun County’s Piedmont crystalline bedrock zone: systems installed in the late 1990s and early 2000s are now reaching the end of typical fan lifespan (15-20 years), and early-generation fans often develop bearing failures that reduce airflow while the motor continues to spin.
What We Did
- Conducted a system diagnostic: checked the electrical connection, measured amperage draw, and used a manometer to verify suction at multiple points in the vent network.
- Confirmed fan bearing failure — motor running but impeller not generating adequate negative pressure.
- Inspected the full vent pipe network for integrity: checked all glued PVC joints, inspected flexible boot couplings at the fan connection (two had developed minor cracks from UV exposure in the attic), and verified discharge pipe termination above the roofline remained unobstructed.
- Replaced the failed fan with a current-generation RadonAway RP145 — a higher-efficiency model that draws significantly less power while delivering superior airflow vs. the original unit. Retained the existing PVC vent network.
- Replaced the two cracked flexible boot couplings at the fan connection.
- Installed a new electronic continuous operation monitor and performed a post-repair 48-hour confirmation test.
CLIENT OUTCOME
Post-repair test confirmed radon at 1.0 pCi/L — well within safe range. The homeowner estimated the new fan would reduce operating costs by approximately $40/year in electricity vs. the original unit. The homeowner enrolled in our annual maintenance program.
“The system had been running for 20 years without a service call. When it finally started showing a problem, they diagnosed it quickly and had it fixed the same week. Very professional.”
