High-Performance Radon Water Mitigation
for Western North Carolina
If professional radon water testing reveals elevated levels in your well water, immediate action is necessary. Radon Control Products provides reliable radon water mitigation services in Asheville, Hendersonville, Black Mountain, and beyond to better protect your family’s health.
How Does a Radon Water Mitigation System Work?
A radon water mitigation system removes radioactive gas from your private well before it reaches your household plumbing. The most common and effective method is aeration.
As incoming water enters a specialized treatment tank, the system forcefully injects air into the liquid. This bubbling action strips the dissolved radon directly from the water. The extracted gas is then securely vented outdoors through a dedicated exhaust pipe. Finally, a secondary pump pushes the purified water throughout your home.
99%
High-capacity aeration systems can remove up to 99.9% of dissolved radioactive gas.
< 4,000
These pCi/L post-mitigation water levels are consistently achieved, meeting proposed EPA guidelines.
Benefits of Radon Water Mitigation
A professionally installed water radon mitigation system does more than treat your supply – it ensures healthier air and water for your family while adding long-term value and peace of mind.
Reduce Well Water Radon
Our aeration systems consistently reduce dissolved contaminants to well below the 4,000 pCi/L EPA proposed limit.
Protect Long-Term Health
Eliminate hidden stomach and lung cancer risks from your plumbing using proven water treatment technology.
Improve Indoor Air Quality
Treating your well water stops trapped radioactive gases from escaping from your taps and into the surrounding air.
Energy-Efficient Design
High-efficiency aeration pumps and sealed tanks are designed to minimize impact on monthly utility bills.
Long-Term Monitoring Options
Ongoing well testing and monitoring ensures your water mitigation system continues performing at peak effectiveness.
Professional Maintenance
Regular equipment check-ups keep your water mitigation system running reliably with every passing year.
Which Is More Effective: Aeration or Carbon Filtration for Radon?
While both aeration and carbon filtration remove radioactive gas from well water, aeration is universally considered the superior – and more highly effective – method for treating heavily contaminated residential plumbing systems and private water supplies.
Maximum Removal Efficiency
Aeration systems consistently remove up to 99.9 percent of dissolved radon, handling severe well contamination perfectly.
Filtration Level Limits
Granular activated carbon filters only work effectively for water supplies containing relatively low radioactive contaminant levels.
Radiation Buildup Risks
Carbon filters trap radon inside the tank, eventually creating a localized radiation hazard directly inside your home.
Secure Outdoor Venting
Aeration securely vents harmful gases outdoors, completely eliminating indoor radiation buildup – while requiring much less frequent maintenance.

What Our Clients Say
After I found out I have high radon levels in my well water it was pretty difficult to find right mitigation specialist in my area as nobody is dealing with water mitigation here. I found out AirWell technology would be best solution for me and that there are only few specialists in NC that install this solution. Henri agreed right away to come out to do the installation even when it’s 2 hrs drive for him… I would recommend Radon Control Products to everyone, very professional approach and excellent communication.

They installed a Radon fan on our new home. When it stopped working and I called them, they treated me like I was their best customer. Super friendly… When it comes to radon mitigation, you absolutely want a company you can trust, who is willing to come out as fast as possible and who you can depend on over the years.

★★★★★
Henri, Will and Mike just finished a radon mitigation job in our crawl space here in Hendersonville, NC. They do excellent work. My radon numbers dropped to less than 2! You will not work with a better bunch of guys, easy to get along with and professional.
Richard R.
★★★★★
Radon Control Products installed a radon water treatment unit at our new house. I found elevated radon gas levels in our well water, which is common in the Blue Ridge mountains where igneous and metamorphic rock can produce radon gas levels in groundwater well above acceptable safe levels. Henri quoted and installed the system as promised. I am pleased that radon levels in the water were not detected in the treated water. The system is very simple in function with no chemicals and reagents involved. And Henri is very easy to reach and very responsive.

Common Questions
About Radon Water Mitigation
Everything you need to know about radon water mitigation in Western North Carolina.
How loud is an aeration system when it is running?
An aeration system used for radon water mitigation produces a moderate, steady noise level during operation, similar to a small appliance running in the background. The exact sound output depends on the size and model of the unit, but most systems generate a consistent hum or rushing air sound as water is agitated and radon gas is vented out of the home. It is not a silent system the way a point-of-entry filtration unit would be, but most homeowners adapt to the sound quickly.
Placement plays a significant role in how noticeable the system is day to day. Units installed in a utility room, basement, or garage are far less intrusive than those in high-traffic areas of the home. Routine radon water testing after installation confirms the system is performing effectively, regardless of how prominently it is positioned.
What is the life expectancy of a professional radon water mitigation system?
A professionally installed radon water mitigation system is built for long-term performance, and most systems remain effective for ten to fifteen years or more with proper upkeep. Point-of-entry aeration systems and granular activated carbon units are both designed for continuous operation, and their longevity depends heavily on installation quality, water conditions, and whether routine maintenance is performed on schedule.
Hard water, high sediment levels, or excessive radon in water concentrations can place greater demand on certain system components and may shorten the service interval between maintenance visits. Working with a certified radon contractor ensures the system installed is appropriately matched to your well water conditions from the start. Periodic radon water testing throughout the life of the system remains the most reliable way to confirm it continues reducing radon in water to acceptable levels over time.
Do I need to hire a specialized plumber or a radon contractor for water mitigation installation?
Radon water mitigation installation should be handled by a certified radon contractor, not a general plumber. While a plumber has the skills to connect pipes and manage water pressure, radon water mitigation requires a deeper understanding of how radon in water behaves, how treatment systems are designed to remove dissolved radon gas, and how to verify that installation meets EPA and NRPP guidelines. A plumber working outside their area of expertise may install a system that functions mechanically but fails to reduce radon levels meaningfully.
At Radon Control Products, radon in water is a core specialty, not an add-on service. We have the training and hands-on experience to select the right treatment approach based on your radon water testing results and install it correctly the first time. That combination of diagnostic knowledge and technical skill is what produces results that actually protect your household.
Does the water mitigation system need a backup power source to keep working during a blackout?
Standard radon water mitigation systems rely on electrical power to operate and will not function during a blackout without a backup power source. Aeration systems, which are among the most effective options for removing radon in water, use a motor to agitate water and vent gas, making them fully dependent on continuous power. During an extended outage, untreated well water would pass through your plumbing without radon removal until power is restored.
For homeowners in areas prone to frequent or prolonged outages, a battery backup or generator connection may be worth discussing during the installation planning process. This is something a certified radon water mitigation specialist can advise on based on your specific system and home setup. Routine radon water testing after any extended outage is also a reasonable precaution to confirm levels have returned to normal once the system is back online.
Is a post-mitigation water test required to confirm the system is working?
Post-mitigation radon water testing is not just recommended, it is an essential part of the radon water mitigation process. Installing a treatment system does not automatically guarantee that radon in water has been reduced to an acceptable level. System performance depends on correct installation, appropriate equipment selection, and whether the unit is properly matched to the volume and radon concentration of your well water. The only way to verify the system is working as intended is through a follow-up radon water test.
Post-installation radon water testing is a standard part of every radon water mitigation project we complete for the Radon Control Products team. We do not consider the job finished until results confirm the system is delivering meaningful reductions. Ongoing testing every two to three years after that ensures long-term performance and gives you documented proof that your water is being treated effectively.
