Radon Gas Mitigation
Protect your family from the harmful effects of radon gas, a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can infiltrate your home through cracks in the foundation. Long-term exposure to radon gas is a leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.
​
Radon gas mitigation is a process used to reduce the concentration of radon gas in indoor spaces, particularly homes, to safe levels. Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that naturally occurs from the decay of uranium in soil and rock.
​
At Superior Care Home Services, we provide effective radon gas exhaust systems to reduce radon levels in your home. Our solutions are tailored to your home’s unique structure and are designed for long-term reliability.
How does Radon Gas Mitigation works?
1
Radon Testing
The first step in mitigation is to test the radon levels in your home. This can be done using a short-term or long-term radon detector, often performed by a certified radon professional.
2
Identifying Entry Points
Radon typically enters a home through cracks in the foundation, gaps around pipes, or other openings. A radon professional will inspect the home to locate these entry points.
3
Sub-Slab Depressurization
The most common mitigation method is sub-slab depressurization, which involves installing a pipe system beneath the foundation slab. A fan is then used to draw radon gas from under the house and vent it safely outside.
4
Ventilation Systems
Additional methods may include sealing cracks and openings, improving ventilation, and installing a radon-resistant venting system to prevent radon buildup.
5
Continuous Monitoring
After the mitigation system is installed, ongoing radon testing is recommended to ensure the system is functioning effectively and maintaining safe radon levels.
