Why Would I Need A Radon Mitigation System?
Radon Causes Cancer
The Environmental Protection Agency has determined that radon is the 2nd highest cause of cancer, other than smoking. In order to keep yourself and your family safe, it is imperative to get your home tested. Pennsylvania is currently facing one of the most severe radon problems in America, with approximately 40 percent of households containing radon levels above Environmental Protection Agency’s action guideline of 4 picocuries per liter.
Radon Testing Pittsburgh
For the safety and health of your home and family, you should get it tested by our certified technicians. They will enter your home with care, and perform radon tests with precision-driven accuracy to spot any signs of unsafe levels. Safe radon levels are around 1.0 pCi/L, but if radon levels in your home are 4.0 or higher, it needs to be resolved immediately by having a radon remediation system installed. Breathe easy, because we can do that. Our advanced radon remediation systems are designed to exceed expectations.
HOW DOES RADON REMEDIATION WORK?
The way a radon mitigation system works is simply this: It draws the contaminated air out from under the basement (foundation) and expels the radon gas out of the exterior of your house. Using PVC piping attached to an industrial strength mitigation fan, the system eliminates the radon fumes, massively dropping the deadly gas levels present in your home. Unfortunately, it is impossible to remove the gas completely, but these radon removal systems lower amounts to be within the safe levels of 1.0 pCi/L, and are therefore no longer harmful to you or your family.
