Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes and other buildings through cracks and other openings in the foundation. Radon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it impossible to detect without specialized equipment. Exposure to high levels of radon over a long period of time is […]
Radon is a radioactive gas that is found naturally in the soil, and it can seep into homes and other indoor spaces, putting occupants at risk for lung cancer. Installing a radon mitigation system is an effective way to reduce radon levels in indoor spaces, but it’s important to choose […]
When it comes to selecting a radon fan for Ohio weather, it’s important to choose one that is durable, reliable, and suitable for the specific climate conditions. Here are some factors to consider: Type of fan: There are two main types of radon fans: external and inline. External fans are […]
Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can pose a serious health risk when it accumulates to high levels in homes and other indoor spaces. Exposure to high levels of radon can lead to lung cancer, and it is estimated that radon causes about 21,000 lung cancer deaths […]
Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. It is a byproduct of the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water, and can seep into buildings and homes through cracks and gaps in the foundation. Radon exposure is a serious health risk, and it […]
Radon is a radioactive gas that is naturally present in the air we breathe. It is produced by the decay of uranium in the soil and rocks beneath the Earth’s surface. Radon is a colorless and odorless gas that can seep into buildings and homes through cracks in the foundation, […]
There are several different types of radon tests available to measure the levels of radon gas in a home or building. The most common types of radon tests are short-term tests, long-term tests, and continuous radon monitoring. Short-term tests: Short-term radon tests typically measure radon levels for a period of […]
Radon mitigation is important in Canton, Ohio, as it is in any location where radon gas is present. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes and buildings from the soil, rocks, and water beneath them. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in […]
Subslab depressurization is a method used to mitigate radon gas in homes and buildings. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is formed by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It can seep into buildings through cracks and gaps in the foundation, and high levels of […]
To be blunt, you don’t have to fix a ‘radon issue’. After all, radon isn’t an ‘issue’ until it becomes a problem. For most, the problem arises when selling their home. A home inspector does a radon test for the buyers, the test results come back above 4.0 pCi/L, and […]
This home had a radon concentration level above 10.0/pCi/L, which is 2.5x the recommended amount according to the EPA. At the request of the seller, we installed a sub-slab depressurization system in the basement and tied into an existing waterproofing system. The perimeter french drain allowed us to extend our […]
Attached are some photos from a job we completed last week in Coventry Crossings, Akron OH 44319. The home was built in 2005 and tested at 5.0 pCi/L when it was inspected for sale in a real-estate transaction. The customer was a previous client of ours and wanted us to […]
We recently had the pleasure of attending a 16 hour class and certification program sponsored by the University of Minnesota and NRPP-AARST. A primary focus point of this continuing education class was the difference between radon testing protocols for real estate transactions vs. testing for the general public (aka a […]
