Yes, radon gas can pass through concrete slabs. While concrete is a dense material, it is not completely impervious to radon gas. Proper sealing and mitigation measures should be employed to reduce radon infiltration through concrete slabs.
One method of removing radon from your basement is through radon mitigation systems such as sub-slab depressurization. This involves installing a pipe that vents radon gas from beneath the foundation to the outside of the home. The system helps reduce radon levels and prevent it from entering the living space.
Yes, a concrete slab is man-made. It is constructed by pouring and leveling concrete to create a flat and durable surface for building structures or pathways.
Houses can be adapted to radon gas by implementing ventilation systems such as sub-slab depressurization or passive ventilation, sealing foundation cracks and openings where radon can enter, installing airtight membranes, and ensuring proper ventilation in basements and crawl spaces. Radon mitigation systems can effectively reduce radon levels in homes to safe levels.

The cost of a concrete slab per square foot can vary depending on location and other factors. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $4 to $8 per square foot for a basic concrete slab installation. Additional costs may apply for things like excavation, reinforcement, and finishing.
