What is Radon....
Radon, the second leading cause of lung cancer, is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil and rock and gets into the air you breathe. It moves through the ground and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation where it can accumulate to unsafe levels. Because it is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk from radon. There are simple ways to fix a problem if needed.
THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM if elevated radon levels are found in the home you intend to purchase.
Houses with elevated radon concentrations are EASILY and inexpensively fixed by an EPA or state qualified contractor. Although the cost may vary depending on the size and design of the home, and the design of the mitigation system, it seldom runs more than $800 -$2,000.
Radon mitigation really works, permanently reducing concentrations by up to 99%. And since most systems completely prevent soil air from entering the home, you may notice other air quality improvement as well.
Radon reduction measures in no way diminish the dollar value of the home and are accepted nationally as home improvement. Very little maintenance is required and system operating costs are generally less than $10 per month for the fan electricity and very minor loss of conditioned air.
Finally, since reduction systems lower radon concentrations so effectivly and eliminate peak fluctuations, living in a mitigated home reduces one's risk of radon related lung cancer to as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA), - even lower than living in most houses testing below the EPA Action Level with no radon control system.
Mitigating Your Home or Office...
In most cases, the use of a system with pipes and a fan is used to reduce radon. It is called a sub-slab depressurization system and does not require major changes to your home.
We have included a few pictures to show you the quality work we do to enhance the home with the system that is put in it.
