Affordable radon Mitigation done right
Your Radon is Our Business!
What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring colorless, odorless, radioactive gas found in most soils and rock. It iscaused by the normal decomposition of uranium, releasing radium atoms that emit alpha particles intothe air we breathe. It is everywhere; no state is exempt. Outdoors, the concentration is so nominal thatits impact on human health is negligible. However, in confined quarters, high levels of radon can beproblematic. When we breathe, we inhale the radioactive alpha particles that can then lodge in ourlungs.

How Dangerous is Radon?
Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers in the United States, according toEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates. Overall, radon is the second leading cause of lungcancer. Radon is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths nationally every year. About 2,900 ofthese deaths occur among people who have never smoked. (Read more at https://www.epa.gov/radon/health-risk-radon.)
How is Radon Removed?
Types of systems:
Attic installed system
A pipe may be installed in the garage and routed through the attic
above, or if the garage option isn’t available.
Passive mitigation system
A four inch gas permeable gravel layer under a
concrete slab that connects to a suction pipe
extending through the interior of the dwelling and vents out the roof through an exhaust point.
Active mitigation system
Similar in design to a passive system, but has a motor or fan that
creates suction to pull more radon out of the soil.
