Crawl Space Radon Mitigation in Hilliard
Crawl spaces require a different mitigation approach than slab homes. Crawl spaces here get a reinforced vapor barrier, sealed entry points, and active depressurization to bring radon below the action level. Often combined with moisture control. Hilliard sits within our service area for Greater Columbus and Central Ohio, with same-week scheduling typical for routine jobs.

Crawl Space Radon Mitigation in Hilliard: a small historic Main Street core surrounded by extensive post-1985 subdivision growth on Franklin County's west side foundations and Columbus-area geology
Crawl Space Radon Mitigation in Hilliard involves sub-membrane depressurization: a 20-mil polyethylene liner sealed to the crawl walls with an inline fan drawing soil gas from beneath, working on the crawl-space envelope where ground-source soil gas enters through bare earth. The service is the right scope for any crawl-space-foundation home testing above 4.0 pCi/L, in place of sub-slab depressurization which does not apply to crawl spaces.
Hilliard's housing stock is mostly newer subdivision construction, and passive radon vent stacks are common, which often makes mitigation a fan-only retrofit rather than a full new system. The small historic core along Main Street has older, shallower foundations that predate any radon code and need a full assessment rather than an assumption based on the surrounding subdivisions. Franklin County's EPA Zone 1 designation applies across both the historic core and the newer subdivision ring. Hilliard sits on the flat glacial till plain west of the Scioto River, with the river's Griggs Reservoir pool a few miles east of the city. Hilliard sits on geology that drives elevated regional radon exposure across the Columbus metro, including Franklin County.
Franklin County crawl-space work is uncommon inside Columbus and its poured-basement suburbs like Dublin and Hilliard, where full basements or slabs dominate, so this scope concentrates on the small share of older outlying parcels near the county line where crawl-space construction survives from before the county's subdivision-era building boom.
ANSI/AARST CCAH-2020-0523 requires membrane sealing and a manometer verifying continuous negative pressure across the membrane. The Ohio Department of Health Radon Licensing Program oversees radon program compliance for Hilliard, and Ohio licensure under ORC 3723.02 applies to any contractor performing mitigation work in the state.
