Radon In Condos and Townhomes

Condominiums and Townhomes usually have an association that manages the neighborhood. The way associations work is they technically own the outside of any buildings, and the homeowner owns the inside of the building.

Since a radon mitigation system has to have at least some part of the installation on the exterior, you will probably have to get the association’s approval to get the system installed.

However, there’s no reason to panic. We can help you discuss the situation with your association to ensure that all parties are satisfied.
