It’s a must to carefully choose a radon mitigation company who have these characteristics and are also certified by the local Department of Environmental Protection.

Radon Prevention and Removal Through Mitigation

The environmentally harmful characteristic of radon is commonly found in the soil. It can enter through the home interior via changes in air pressures - low and high air pressure present in the ground. There are two remediation routes to consider:

• The most effective course is the prevention of radon gas entry 
• Removal or remediation of present radon gas inside the home or structure

Among the popular methods of radon mitigation and remediation are:

• Sub-membrane ventilation
• Sub-slab depressurization
• Block wall suction

Radon is a colorless, tasteless, and odorless gas that is unnoticeable. If left untreated, it may pose health hazards to the family.
