Reno Radon Mitigation
|
What is Radon?Radon is an odorless, tasteless, invisible radioactive gas that is naturally occurring in all rock and soil types. Radon is considered by the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Surgeon General, and the American Lung Association to be the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.Radon can enter buildings through the foundation and increase concentration in the indoor air. All buildings have a potential for elevated radon concentrations if there is contact with the soil, including mobile homes if the home has skirting. We build Radon Mitigation Systems Radon MitigationYour house type will affect the kind of radon mitigation system that will work best. Houses are generally categorized according to their foundation design. Some houses have more than one foundation design feature. For instance, it is common to have a basement under part of the house and to have a slab-on-grade or crawl space under the rest of the house. A combination of radon reduction techniques may be needed to reduce radon levels to below 4 pCi/L. There are several methods that a contractor can use to lower radon levels in your home. Some techniques prevent radon from entering your home while others reduce radon levels after it has entered. EPA generally recommends methods that prevent entry of radon. 21% of homes in Reno have Radon! |
