Tackling Harmful Vapors for Better Living Conditions in Utah
What is Vapor Intrusion Mitigation?
In Utah, vapor intrusion is often unseen, but it is a serious environmental concern. Methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can migrate from contaminated soil or groundwater into buildings, entering through cracks in foundations, utility conduits, and porous construction materials. Once inside, these vapors can degrade indoor air quality and cause long-term health problems such as respiratory illnesses, neurological impacts, and cancer. Methane vapors pose a fire hazard.
Utah’s geography and industrial history—particularly in areas like the Wasatch Front, former mining regions, and redevelopment zones—make vapor intrusion a risk at both residential and commercial sites. It can affect properties at every stage: from development to occupancy, and even after site closure or abandonment.
At Advanced Construction Technologies (ACT), we provide full-service vapor intrusion mitigation tailored to Utah’s conditions—protecting buildings, people, and property investments across the state.
Our Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Process
Utah presents unique vapor intrusion challenges—from cold winters and clay-heavy soils to redevelopment of legacy industrial zones. Our process is designed to deliver long-term protection while meeting Utah’s environmental regulations and technical expectations.
We provide both passive and active mitigation systems, following a proven step-by-step process:
- Site Assessment – Testing soil vapor, evaluating risk, and understanding property design.
- System Design & Planning – Engineered to comply with Utah Department of Environmental Quality (UDEQ) guidelines and EPA Region 8 protocols.
- Installation – Using top-tier vapor barriers, venting systems, and detection technologies.
- Monitoring & Maintenance – Continuous performance tracking, remote alerts, and regulatory reporting.
ACT also delivers value engineering, hands-on project management, and transparent communication to ensure projects stay on budget and on schedule, without sacrificing quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes vapor intrusion a concern in Utah?
Many Utah sites are located near former mining operations, landfills, dry cleaners, or other industrial facilities. Dry soils and freeze-thaw cycles can also increase the risk of vapor intrusion by creating new paths for gas migration.
Can ACT work on residential as well as commercial buildings?
Yes. We install vapor intrusion systems in everything from single-family homes and apartment complexes to warehouses, schools, and government buildings.
What monitoring systems do you use?
Our systems use FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) configurations and Telguard TG-7 cellular monitoring, offering real-time alerts and remote visibility into system status.
Do you offer both design and installation?
Absolutely. We have a full in-house engineering team and installation crews. We also work with external engineering consultants when needed to ensure flawless implementation.
Why choose ACT in Utah?
We understand Utah’s soil conditions, construction styles, and regulatory environment. Our team combines decades of experience with innovative tools and a reputation for getting it right the first time.
