Radon mitigation refers to the methods used to reduce radon gas concentrations in the breathing zones of occupied buildings or radon from water supplies. Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas formed from the natural decay of uranium found in soil, rock, and water. It can enter homes through cracks in floors, walls, or foundations, and levels can build up indoors, leading to potential health risks. Effective radon mitigation strategies can include soil suction, where radon is drawn from beneath the house and vented outside; sealing cracks and openings to limit radon entry; and improving the home's ventilation.
Radon mitigation is crucial because radon gas is a leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers in many countries. According to the EPA, radon is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year in the United States alone. Prolonged exposure to high levels of radon can significantly increase the risk of lung cancer. Mitigating radon in homes and buildings reduces this risk. Implementing radon mitigation measures not only safeguards the health of occupants but also contributes to the overall indoor air quality, making living environments safer and more comfortable.
Consider radon mitigation if testing reveals radon levels at or above the EPA’s action level of 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) of air. It’s also advisable to consider this service when moving into a new home, especially in areas known for high radon levels, or if neighboring houses have documented radon problems. If you’ve made significant changes to your home such as additions, basement finishing, or changes to the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, retesting for radon is recommended, as these changes can affect radon levels. Regular testing every two years is a good practice to ensure that radon levels remain low.
