Q: What is radon and why is it dangerous?

Radon is a radioactive gas that results from a natural decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water. Radon decays into radioactive particles that can get trapped in your lungs when you breathe and ultimately cause damage to lung tissue cells, resulting in mutation or cell death. Radon Decay Products include Polonium, Lead, and Bismuth.

Q: How does Radon get in?

RADON ENTERS THROUGH: Cracks in solid floors Construction joints Cracks in walls Gaps in suspended floors Gaps around service pipes Cavities within walls The water supply

Question 3

How long do radon mitigation system installs take?

Accepted Answer

It typically takes 2-4 hours to install systems that reduce radon levels effectively, depending on property size and complexity it may take longer.

Question 4

How does a mitigation system work?

Accepted Answer

A radon mitigation system works like a continuous vacuum cleaner for the soil beneath your home. By creating a zone of low pressure (Active Soil Depressurization), it intercepts harmful radon gas from the earth and safely vents it outside above the roofline before it can enter your indoor air.

Question 5

How quickly can Radon affect you?

Accepted Answer

On average, it takes 5 to 25 years of Radon exposure to develop into cancer.

Question 6

RADON ENTERS THROUGH:

Cracks in solid floors
Construction joints
Cracks in walls
Gaps in suspended floors
Gaps around service pipes
Cavities within walls
The water supply
