Protect Your Family's Health with Radon Remediation Services

Radon remediation services refer to a host of services aimed at examining, monitoring and performing necessary measures to eradicate or reduce the levels of radon content in the air we breathe in our homes and workplaces.

A radioactive gas, radon, is found in a lot of homes. It is formed via natural decay of radioactive elements, eg uranium which can be found in varying quantities in the soil and rocks. Colorless and odorless in nature, radon gas, from the soil and rock, can permeate into the air we breathe and also into underground and surface water.

Radon shows no warning signs and no immediate health effect. The radioactive particles from radon gas can get trapped in our lungs, which in turn, increase the risk of lung cancer, over time. Hence, it is considered as a leading cause of the deadly disease, after cigarette smoking.

As per the estimate of the EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency), 1 in 15 homes in the United States, have elevated radon levels. If the level is 4.0pCi/L or higher, people should take action to lower the radon levels in homes and workplaces.

As the primary step of radon remediation services, the radon levels should be checked to understand the extent of exposure to the radioactive gas.

Do-it-yourself radon detection kits (short and long term), are available in the hardware or home supply stores, which can be placed in homes at least below the 3rd floor for a period of time and then mailed to a lab for analysis. If the analysis reveals a count of 4.0pCi/L or higher, immediate steps are required to fix the problem. But lowering levels in the air that we breathe, requires a specialized skill set and technical knowledge. Note:  These tests are not completely reliable.
There are multiple methods to reduce radon levels like,
  • Increasing ventilation through a process called “sub-slab depressurization” with the help of fans and pipes and
  • Sealing the cracks of floors and walls
Hence, EPA recommends that qualified and licensed contractors be called upon to solve the problem. Actually, the radon levels could increase or invite potential hazards and incur additional costs if radon remediation services are attempted without adequate technical knowledge and proper equipment.
