Radon Mitigation Services: Protecting Your Home and Health

Radon is an invisible, odorless radioactive gas that poses a serious health risk when it accumulates in homes. As the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, radon requires professional attention when detected at elevated levels. Our comprehensive radon mitigation services provide effective solutions to reduce radon concentrations and protect your family's health.

Understanding the Radon Threat

Radon is produced naturally from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It enters homes through cracks in foundations, floor drains, sump pumps, and other openings. Because radon is invisible and odorless, specialized testing is the only way to detect its presence.

The EPA recommends taking action when indoor radon levels reach or exceed 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). However, there is no "safe" level of radon exposure, and even levels below 4 pCi/L pose some health risk. Professional mitigation is the most effective way to reduce radon concentrations in your home.

Our Comprehensive Radon Mitigation Process

Our certified radon mitigation specialists follow a methodical approach to addressing radon concerns:

Detailed Assessment

We begin with a thorough evaluation of your property, including previous radon test results, home construction, foundation type, and soil conditions. This assessment allows us to design the most effective mitigation system for your specific situation.

Customized System Design

Based on our assessment, we design a radon mitigation system tailored to your home's unique characteristics. Different foundation types—including basements, crawl spaces, and slab-on-grade—require different mitigation strategies.

Professional Installation

Our experienced technicians install your radon mitigation system with minimal disruption to your home. Common techniques include:

• Sub-slab depressurization: Creating a vacuum beneath your foundation to collect radon gas before it enters your home and venting it safely outdoors
• Sub-membrane depressurization: Installing specialized barriers in crawl spaces with collection systems beneath
• Sump pit depressurization: Sealing and venting sump pits to prevent radon entry
• Block wall depressurization: Addressing radon that accumulates in hollow masonry foundation walls
• Crawl space ventilation: Increasing air exchange in unfinished crawl spaces
• Drain tile suction: Utilizing existing drainage systems to collect and vent radon

System Optimization

After installation, we fine-tune the system to ensure optimal performance while maintaining energy efficiency. This includes adjusting fan speeds, sealing additional entry points, and verifying proper exhaust flow.

Post-Mitigation Testing

We conduct post-installation testing to verify that radon levels have been successfully reduced. This confirmation provides peace of mind that your mitigation system is performing as designed.
