Radon Testing & Radon MItigation
‍

What is Radon

Radon is a naturally occurring gas from the decay of Uranium in nearly all of Earth's soil, including the area of Alpharetta, Georgia. Radon is a Class A carcinogen that can cause lung cancer. According to the EPA, radon is estimated to cause approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the U.S. and about 800 deaths per year in the state of Georgia.

How often should radon testing be done?

The EPA recommends performing a radon test every 2 years. Every type of building should be regularly inspected for radon, including homes, offices, and schools. The greatest exposure to you and your family is most likely at home where you spend a significant amount of your time.

Facts About Radon

Radon Is Undetectable to Human Senses

Radon is colorless, tasteless, and ordorless.

Radon Causes Lung Cancer

Symptoms are not immediate and extended exposure to Radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.

Radon Mitigation Effectiveness

A Radon Mitigation system can reduce radon levels in your home by up to 99%.

RADON MITIGATION SYSTEM

A Radon Mitigation System is the most effective way to reduce radon levels in your home. The system is designed with a fan that draws radon from underneath the home via a suction pipe. The radon is then directed outside and above the home, where it is released.

Whether your home is on a concrete slab, basement, or a crawl space, we can design and install a radon mitigation system specific to the requirements of your home.

Radon Resistant New Construction

With rising demand for more energy efficiency, homes are being built with a tighter building envelope. As a result, there is increased potential for high concentrations of indoor air pollutants, such as Radon. We partner with builders, helping them build radon resistant new homes by providing efficient installation of Radon Mitigation Systems to builders for New Constructions.

Radon Frequently Asked Questions

Does Rainfall increase radon levels in the home?

Yes, rainfall may cause a temporary increase in radon concentration levels within the home. Rainfall can create a capping effect on the soil around the house increasing the likelihood of Radon entering the home from beneath. Also, Radon is invited into the home due to the stack effect, which is the natural rise of air due to pressure and temperature differentials. The dynamics of that pressure and temperature changes with rainfall, often increasing the stack effect.
