Why Test Your Home for Radon?

Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers in the United States. Often undetected due to its colorless and odorless nature, radon can accumulate to dangerous levels, especially in enclosed spaces like basements and crawl spaces. Our radon testing services offer both short-term and long-term testing options to accurately assess the radon levels in your home. Using advanced radon test kits, we provide you with precise results, following the EPA’s guidelines.

The Testing Process

Our testing process is straightforward and non-intrusive. We strategically place radon test kits in your home, particularly in areas prone to higher radon levels such as the basement floor and crawl spaces. Short-term testing can last from a few days to 90 days, while long-term testing extends beyond this period, offering a comprehensive view of your home’s radon levels throughout different seasons.

Identifying High Radon Levels

When test results indicate high radon levels, exceeding the EPA’s recommended action level, our radon mitigation professionals step in. Our team is skilled in various radon reduction techniques, ensuring that we tailor our approach to your home’s specific needs.

Radon Mitigation System Installation

Installing a radon mitigation system is the most effective way to reduce radon levels. Our approach often involves slab depressurization, where we install a vent pipe and run it from the lowest point of your home, like the basement floor or drain tile, through to the roof. This system effectively reduces radon levels by redirecting the gas outside your home, preventing it from accumulating indoors.

Why Not DIY?

While DIY radon mitigation might seem like a cost-effective solution, it often fails to adequately address the problem and can even exacerbate radon levels. Our professionals ensure proper installation, taking into account factors like the layout of your home and local building codes.
