Basement

$950-$1715

Use this when the home has a basement or lowest-level slab that supports a standard sub-slab suction system.

Slab-on-Grade

$905-$1625

Slab homes can price differently when finished space, routing, or core drilling complicates the system path.

Crawl Space

$1440-$2650

Crawl-space jobs can move higher when vapor-barrier sealing, access, and sub-membrane suction add labor.
