OK so you received your test results and your radon levels are under 4.0pCi/L. Congratulations, good for you! On the other hand, if your radon levels are above 4.0pCi/L then you and your family are being exposed to a dangerous level of radon at this very minute.

 

Remember, radon is a cancer causing radioactive gas and the major health problems associated with radon are well documented.  You're playing with fire everyday that you wait to move forward. It's time to take action before it’s too late.

Even if you seal up your sump pit, radon will still find a way into your home. Your home has a negative air pressure which causes gases from  underneath your house to be pulled up through the concrete floor in your basement. So how do you remove radon?

​

Radon mitigation systems use sub-slab depressurization. Radon mitigation systems sucks the gases underneath your house up through a PVC pipe attached to a fan that exhausts them into the atmosphere while also reducing air pressure below the floor, which causes air in the basement to flow downward rather than upward. Our systems can reduce radon levels by up to 99%

Radon Gones' thorough yet efficient mitigation services are usually completed within 3 to 5 hours. The PVC pipe is put in the ground where your sump pump is installed and goes below the concrete slab of your basement floor. The piping is routed up to the nearest outside wall (excluding the your front wall), where downspout material runs up along the exterior to your roof line, where it is safely released into the atmosphere. If you do not already have a sump pump in your home, we can install one. If going into the sump pit is not a logical option, or if you do not have a sump pit, we will drill into your concrete slab floor to install the PVC piping. Radon Gones' radon mitigation system installation services can be summed up into 4 steps.

 

1. We examine the interior and exterior of your home to determine the most effective placement and configuration for our radon mitigation system.

2. Next, we’ll identify whether or not your sump pump is fit for the radon mitigation process. If you don’t have a sump pump, or need a replacement, we’ll do it on the spot.

3. Then we create an air tight seal on the sump pit and install the piping and the fan. We will drill a hole right through the concrete if that is your preference or if we deem it necessary. 

4. Finally, we vent the gas safely above your house. We finish by thoroughly inspecting everything and clean up any messes so it was like we were never there. 3 to 5 hours later, you have a newfound peace of mind and a healthier home
