Radon Mitigation Systems

When selecting a radon reduction system, homeowners and contractors work with radon mitigation specialists. A variety of factors help them determine the best treatment. They consider everything from radon levels and installation costs to the home’s size and foundation.

There are several different radon reduction methods. Some techniques prevent radon gas from entering the home, while others reduce it to acceptable levels. The EPA recommends radon mitigation that prevents the gas from entering the home.

Radon mitigation involves diagnostic tests other than the initial test for radon. For example, radon specialists, such as the Radonhjelpen,  use chemical smoke to find the source of gas and direction of air flow. They may do a soil communication test to evaluate suction and determine treatment.

Radon mitigation takes into account different types of home foundations. Whether a home is built on a slab, over crawl space or with a basement helps radon mitigation specialists find the right solution.

Room pressurization is a common radon reduction method. Some treatments involve the sealing of foundation cracks or a heat recovery ventilator (HRV). Point-of-entry systems remove radon from the water supply.

No level of radon is safe, but radon mitigation can reduce toxic levels and their associated health risks. By working with radon mitigation specialists and other trained professionals, homeowners can protect their health and create safe havens for their families.
