Frequently asked questions.
Radon gas is a radioactive byproduct of uranium decay that exists naturally both inside and outside of man made structures. Certain properties of home construction can cause radon gas to concentrate to high levels inside homes. When you and your family are exposed to concentrated levels of radon gas over extended periods of time, your risk of developing cancer, specifically lung cancer, significantly increases. If you combine concentrated radon exposure with other known carcinogens such as smoking, you reach an even higher risk threshold.
Mitigation systems, such as the ones designed for radon removal, work by reducing indoor radon levels. These systems typically involve a combination of sealing cracks in the foundation, installing specialized ventilation systems, and using air purifiers or filters to capture and remove the harmful gas.

There are several types of radon mitigation systems available for homeowners, each designed to address specific needs and situations. Our licensed technicians will evaluate each home and area to determine which mitigation is best for you. We know every home is different and all radon levels vary. We take the time to customize our systems to your needs.
Yes, radon mitigation systems can improve overall indoor air quality by reducing radon levels and mitigating dampness and mold issues. The process of active soil depressurization not only draws out radon gas but also helps to remove moisture from beneath your home. This can reduce the risk of mold growth and contribute to a healthier and more comfortable living environment.
