FAQs About Radon Remediation

Radon, the radioactive, deadly gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. It creeps unnoticed into your house, causing damage to your family’s health. This makes having a proper radon mitigation system very important. Need to know more about radon mitigation? Go through our FAQs about radon remediation to learn more.

Q. Why do you need a radon mitigation system?

1. The greatest benefit of installing a radon mitigation system in your home or office is that it reduces the risk of any occupant getting lung cancer due to the gas. A standard radon mitigation system works quickly to bring down the levels of radon and continue to maintain low levels over time. 

Q. When do you need a radon mitigation system?

1. Any exposure to radon is not safe for your health. According to the EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency), if, according to the radon test result, the level of radon in your home or office is 4.0pCi/L or higher, you should take action to lower the level by installing a radon mitigation system.

Q. What are the different types of Radon Mitigation Systems?

Depending on the type of construction of your home, the different types of radon mitigation systems are:

• Sub-Slab Depressurization - for homes with a concrete slab basement
• Passive System -  for new-construction homes
• Sub-Membrane - a suction radon mitigation system for homes that have a crawlspace.

Q. How long will it take to install the radon mitigation system?

1. A professional service provider can generally complete a radon mitigation project on a single-family home in one day, although there may be variations depending on a lot of factors.

Q. How much does radon mitigation cost?

The cost usually depends on the size of the house and the foundation design. If you are building a new house, it typically costs less to install preventative systems during construction than to retrofit a home with a mitigation system.
