Radon removal, often referred to as radon mitigation, is a specialized service designed to reduce radon levels in homes and buildings. Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that naturally emanates from the ground due to the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It can infiltrate structures through cracks in floors and walls, construction joints, and gaps in foundations around pipes, wires, and pumps. Radon removal methods vary but may include soil suction, which draws radon from beneath the house and vents it outside, sealing to limit the flow of radon into the home, and pressurization to create air pressure differences that prevent radon from entering the building.
Radon removal is crucial because long-term exposure to high levels of radon can lead to lung cancer. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Surgeon General's office have estimated that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., second only to smoking. This makes it a significant health risk that can be mitigated with proper radon reduction systems. Ensuring that indoor radon levels are kept as low as possible through effective radon removal techniques can protect the health of occupants by significantly reducing their risk of developing lung cancer.
You should consider radon removal if testing reveals radon levels at or above the EPA action level of 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) of air. It's also wise to consider this service if you're moving into a new home and the radon status is unknown, or if you've conducted home renovations that might have changed the tightness of your home, potentially allowing more radon to enter. Additionally, if your home has a water supply that comes from a well, testing for radon in your water might also indicate the need for radon removal services. Regularly testing every two years or after any significant alterations to your home can help ensure radon levels remain safe.
