System Repair & Reactivation 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
System Repair & Reactivation in Hilliard involves fan replacement, manometer recalibration, slab-penetration reseal, and discharge-stack rework as needed, working on an existing mitigation system that has lost performance, made noise, or failed a post-install retest. The service is the right scope when an existing system is 5+ years old, the manometer reads zero or near-zero, or a recent retest came back above 4.0 pCi/L despite an existing system.
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.
System repairs in Franklin County are most common on the older, aged-slab installs found in Columbus's established neighborhoods, where original penetration seals have had more years to degrade than the systems installed in Dublin and Hilliard's newer, more uniform poured-basement subdivisions.
Repairs must restore the system to ANSI/AARST CCAH-2020-0523 compliance; the manometer must show continuous negative pressure and a post-repair retest is required. 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.
