Fix. Solutions for high indoor radon levels.
There is no known "safe" level of radon, so any amount of radon can present some risk. Because your risk is a function of time and the amount of exposure, your risk of developing lung cancer will be reduced by lowering the level of radon in your home.
The technique used to reduce radon levels in your home is based on the foundation type, not on the radon level. There are two primary techniques used to reduce indoor radon levels: active soil depressurization and ventilation.
The vast majority (approximately 90%) of radon that enters a home is from the underlying soil. Pressure differentials cause radon-laden soil gases to be drawn through small openings in the foundation. By applying a vacuum to the underlying soil that is greater in strength than the vacuum applied to the soil by the house, we can collect the radon from the soil before it has a chance to enter the indoor living space.
Our Mitigation Process is Simple and Effective.
Although every home is different, our process for reducing indoor radon levels is consistent from home to home. The following is a rough outline of our process to give you a better idea of what to expect:
- 1. Conduct a second, follow-up test. This second test is completely optional, but can be very important when the results of the first test are very close of the 4.0 pCi/L EPA Action Level.
- 2. Perform a on-site radon mitigation estimate (including diagnostic testing on slab and basement foundations).
- 3. Provide a thorough, written proposal to the client.
- 4. Install the mitigation system according to U.S. EPA Radon Mitigation Standards
- 5. Conduct a post-mitigation radon test (to confirm that radon levels are now well below the 4.0 pCi/L EPA Action Level).
- 6. Provide a 5-year transferrable warranty.
The primary benefit of installing a radon mitigation system is reduced exposure to radon gas, and therefore a reduced risk of developing lung cancer.
Although not guaranteed, there can be some secondary benefits of radon mitigation, including:
Although not guaranteed, there can be some secondary benefits of radon mitigation, including:
• Reduced variability of indoor radon levels
• Increased air exchange rates
• Reduced indoor moisture levels
After installing a radon mitigation system, we conduct a 48-hour post-mitigation test to confirm that the average indoor radon level is well below the 4.0 pCi/L EPA Action Level.
The EPA recommends that you test your home's radon levels every few years to confirm that the mitigation system is working sufficiently. House repairs, additions, settling cracks, etc. can impact your indoor radon levels by altering your home's air pressure and creating new pathways through which radon can enter the home.
Should your mitigation system fail to work properly anytime within 5 years of the installation date, we'll repair the system at no charge. The system fans come with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty, allowing us to replace the fan, if necessary, at no cost to the homeowner.
Our 5-year warranty is transferrable in the event that the property is sold.
