Radon Levels In Your Home
Radon tests will typically have its results expressed in terms or picocurie, which reflects the amount of radioactivity of radium in a liter of air.
* The US EPA action level for radon is 4 picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L), at that point radon mitigation is required. 4.0 pCi/L of radon is comparable to smoking 8 cigarettes per day. The potential risk of getting lung cancer from prolonged radon exposure to 4 pCi/L is approximately 7 in 1,000.

TESTING
The first step is to take care of the health and safety of you and your loved ones by testing your home for radon. At Radon Mitigation, our experts use modern equipment and radon monitoring technology to deliver a report with our findings, that show radon levels as recorded over a 48-hour sampling period.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
Before starting construction on a new home ins is very important to test the soil of the property you will be building on for radon. That’s not all, it just as important to have the home test for radon after it has been built. You should also consider installing a dampness control system in your home that will alert you if there are high levels of dampness.
MITIGATION
If your tests indicate levels of radon that require attention, our team of engineers and technicians will design and install a custom radon mitigation system to effectively and safely move radon and other soil gasses out of your home. We also take additional measures to seal and close gaps in the foundation and drains that could let soil gasses into the home.
TESTING
The first step to help ensure the health and safety of you and your family is to have your home tested for radon. At Radon Rid, our professional technicians use the latest in computerized radon monitoring technology to provide you with a comprehensive report, including a complete visual graph of radon level data points as recorded over a 48-hour sampling period.
NEW CONSTRUCTION
With new home construction projects, it is important to determine the level of radon that could be present in the soil before the home is built. It’s also important to have the new home retested for radon levels immediately following occupancy. We also highly recommend installing an Active Dampness Control System (ADC) with every new build.
