The Importance of Radon Testing 

Radon is a naturally-occurring radioactive colorless and odorless gas. Exposure to radon over time causes lung damage and can even cause lung cancer. Radon exposure is the #2 cause of lung cancer in the USA. To ensure your home's safety, you should have your home professionally tested for radon every 2 years.

Radon is released from rocks, soil and water. Radon gas is considered harmless when dispersed in outdoor air but can be a serious health hazard when trapped in our homes. Radon enters homes through: 

  • Crawlspaces
  • Cracks in the foundation & walls
  • Floor drains
  • Pipes
  • Sump pump crocks

 

What Does Radon Testing Involve?

There are two main types of radon testing: short-term and long-term. 

Short-term radon tests last 2-3 days. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers dangerous radon levels to be anything above 4 picocuries per liter. Depending on the result of the short-term test, long-term testing of your home's radon concentration lasting anywhere from 90 days to between 6 and 12 months may be recommended.

What is Radon Mitigation? 

Radon mitigation, also known as radon reduction, is an exhaust system used to rid your home of unsafe radon levels. We draw air from the ground under your basement and discharge it safely away from your home using a point in your drain tile system or a suction point in your sump pump crock. If your home does not have a drain tile system, we will use piping that runs up your basement wall.
