Your Radon Mitigation Questions Answered

Here are our most frequently asked questions regarding radon mitigation, but feel free to reach out if you have any additional ones.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It is invisible, odorless, and tasteless, which makes it difficult to detect without specialized equipment. The primary health concern associated with radon is its potential to cause lung cancer. In fact, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon can significantly increase the risk for lung cancer, making it a significant public health concern. Radon gas enters buildings through cracks and openings in the foundation and can accumulate to unsafe levels, particularly in areas with poor ventilation. Given the high prevalence of radon in many areas, testing homes and buildings for radon is crucial to ensure safe living conditions. Fortunately, there are effective methods to reduce radon levels in buildings, commonly referred to as radon mitigation.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States has set an action level of 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) for radon in indoor air. This means that if the radon level in your home is at or above this threshold, it is recommended that you take corrective action to reduce it. However, it is important to note that there is no “safe” level of radon, as even levels below 4 pCi/L can still pose a risk over time. Therefore, if your home tests between 2 and 4 pCi/L, you might still consider taking action, especially if occupants are spending long periods in lower levels of the home. The goal of radon mitigation is to bring indoor radon levels as low as reasonably achievable. Mitigation systems typically can reduce indoor radon levels to below 2 pCi/L, and sometimes even lower, providing significant health benefits and peace of mind.

Radon mitigation works by reducing radon levels within a building, typically through a system called active soil depressurization (ASD). This involves installing a vent pipe system and fan to pull radon from beneath the house and vent it to the outside, where it dissipates harmlessly into the air. The exact design of the system depends on the structure of the home, the level of radon, and other specific conditions. Professionals may seal foundation cracks and install a collection system in basement floors or crawlspaces to effectively capture radon gas before it enters the home. These systems do not require major changes to a home and are relatively low-maintenance once installed. Additionally, some homes may employ other mitigation techniques, such as increasing ventilation with piping or an air-to-air heat exchanger to lower indoor radon levels. Once a system is installed, follow-up testing is recommended to ensure it is working effectively. Regular maintenance checks help sustain its long-term performance, ensuring your home remains radon-safe.

Yes, radon levels can increase over time due to a variety of factors. Changes in building structure, such as new cracks in the foundation, renovations, or changes in ventilation, can alter how radon enters a home. Seasonal variations can also impact radon levels, as colder weather increases the pressure difference between the interior and exterior of a house, typically drawing more radon inside. Moreover, changes in soil structure around the home or new construction nearby can potentially increase radon entry. Therefore, it is advised to periodically test radon levels in a home, even if previous testing showed low levels. Routine testing ensures that any increase in radon levels is detected early and addressed promptly to maintain a safe living environment.

The installation process conducted by Evergreen Radon & Construction Services is designed to be as efficient and minimally intrusive as possible. Generally, the installation of a radon mitigation system can be completed within one day, depending on the complexity and requirements of your specific situation.

For further details, please contact us for a personalized consultation.

Once installed, radon mitigation systems generally require minimal maintenance. However, it is crucial to conduct regular checks to ensure the system’s continued effectiveness. Fans used in active systems typically run continuously and have a lifespan of about five to ten years, depending on make and model. These fans may occasionally need to be replaced to maintain their efficiency in reducing radon levels. Regular inspection of the system to ensure that there is no visible damage to the vent pipes or seals and that the fan is operating correctly is essential. Monitoring the system’s readouts, when applicable, and conducting follow-up radon tests periodically will help verify that your home remains safe from radon accumulation. Professional inspections and servicing are recommended if you notice any issues or changes in system performance.
