Do you have high radon?
Want to know what to do?
A radon mitigation system is a proven, efficient method to reduce radon levels.
REDUCING RADON LEVELS
mit·i·gate (‘midә‚gãt/), verb
To mitigate means to make less severe, serious, or painful.
If you have tested your home and discovered it requires radon mitigation, it is best to hire a C-NRPP Certified Professional with proper training and hands-on experience in reducing radon levels.
A radon mitigation system is a simple, prove
n method of reducing radon. However, a proper installation is important. A C-NRPP professional will use diagnostic methods to ensure the system is properly located and to chose an appropriate fan size. Once the mitigation system is running, it changes the pathway for the radon. Instead of entering the home through gaps in the foundation, radon is drawn through the pipe and exhausted outside.
After mitigation, many homes have radon levels that are comparable to radon levels in outdoor air. Additional benefits may also be reaped, such as less humidity in the basement, and lower levels of other soil gasses in the home.
