Traditional Suction Pit Systems

About Traditional Suction Pit Systems

Suction pit systems are often the only system one thinks of when they think of radon mitigation.  Although they are extremely popular and useful, they are some of the most difficult systems to do right.  Please watch our suction pit system design video below.  Common pitfalls include: incorrect “central” pit placement; small pits (less than ten gallons not recommended); deep pits instead of wide pits.  Tools like dirt augers and flanges like the suction pit pro will help you get the job done right.  Always reach out to a skilled, certified professional to ensure your pit is adequate.
