Essential FAQs About Radon in HUD Multifamily

Here are our most frequently asked questions, but feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that occurs naturally from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It is a concern in multifamily properties because it can seep into buildings through cracks in the foundation, joints, and other entry points. Prolonged exposure to high levels of radon increases the risk of lung cancer, making it the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. In multifamily settings, the risk is compounded as more occupants are potentially exposed to this hazardous gas, necessitating compliance with regulations like those imposed by HUD for testing and mitigating radon to ensure the safety and health of residents.

HUD’s regulations require that all ground-contact units in multifamily properties be tested for radon. The testing must follow national ANSI/AARST standards and be conducted by certified professionals, ensuring accuracy and compliance. If radon levels equal or exceed 4.0 pCi/L, mitigation must be completed before loan closing or project approval. Testing must be documented and submitted as part of HUD applications, with detailed reports including individual unit results, mitigation plans, and compliance confirmation to verify the safety of the property’s environment.

If testing reveals radon levels above 4.0 pCi/L, you must initiate a mitigation process promptly. This includes designing a radon reduction system that suits your property’s layout and construction. Engage a certified radon professional to install the system, ensuring it aligns with the standards set forth by ANSI/AARST and ASTM. After installation, conduct post-mitigation testing to confirm the system effectively reduces radon levels to within safe limits. Additionally, you must document all procedures, results, and compliance measures for submission to HUD or local authorities as part of the regulatory process, ensuring transparency and adherence to safety standards.

Radon testing should be conducted every two years in multifamily properties, or more frequently if major renovations or changes to the building’s structure occur. Regular testing helps to identify any changes in radon levels due to shifts in the environment or building integrity. Routine monitoring ensures continued compliance with HUD’s safety regulations and protects residents from harmful radon exposure. Additionally, frequent testing can provide peace of mind to occupants and property managers, demonstrating a commitment to maintaining a healthy living environment.

Common radon mitigation methods in multifamily buildings include Active Soil Depressurization (ASD), which uses a fan to pull radon from beneath the building and vent it safely outside. Sealing cracks and openings in floors and walls can also help to reduce radon entry. Sub-membrane depressurization, used in buildings with crawlspaces, involves sealing and venting to decrease radon levels. These methods are tailored to suit the specific construction of the building and must comply with standards like ANSI/AARST CC-1000 and relevant ASTM specifications, ensuring effectiveness and compliance.

Yes, radon can be a problem even in areas not typically known for high radon concentrations. Radon levels can vary significantly depending on localized geological conditions and soil types. Regardless of regional levels, any building can potentially have elevated radon concentrations. Therefore, it is critical to conduct radon testing in all settings to ensure safety, as assumptions based solely on geographic and historical data might overlook potential risks. Regular testing and monitoring help identify issues and allow for timely interventions to protect occupants’ health.

To find a qualified radon professional, seek out individuals certified by the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) or the National Radon Safety Board (NRSB). These certifications ensure that the professional has undergone rigorous training and testing to meet national proficiency standards. Additionally, check for membership with reputable organizations such as the Indoor Environments Association, which can provide further assurance of expertise and credibility. Always verify credentials and ask for references to ensure the professional’s qualifications align with your property’s specific needs.

When submitting to HUD, documentation must include detailed radon testing results for each unit, the design and implementation plan for mitigation systems, and post-mitigation testing outcomes. Additionally, documentation should also feature system diagrams and a statement of compliance with all relevant standards, such as ANSI/AARST and ASTM guidelines. This paperwork ensures that all aspects of radon safety management are observed as per HUD’s requirements, providing transparency and confirming the effectiveness of your radon management strategy.

Yes, implementing radon-resistant construction methods in new builds can offer various incentives, including enhanced health and safety assurances for occupants, potential insurance benefits, and improved property resale value. Many local governments and health organizations may provide grants or tax credits to encourage builders to adopt radon-resistant techniques. These methods, such as incorporating passive radon reduction systems during construction, align with HUD’s preferences and ensure compliance with long-term regulatory standards while offering peace of mind to future occupants and stakeholders.
