If you are a Commercial Property Owner in Ashland, OH, you may be wondering what is radon gas and what does it have to do with me?
Radon is a radioactive, cancer-causing gas that comes from the soil and rock that homes and buildings are built on. Radon is a known carcinogen and is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
Knowing whether or not radon is a problem inside your commercial property is important if you want to make sure you're providing a safe environment for the people who come to your property on a regular basis.
You will not be able to detect radon on your own. It cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted which means your only option to determine whether or not your property is safe is to have a specific radon test performed.
Testing a commercial property for radon should be done by a licensed professional. You will ultimately save yourself time and money by making sure the testing is done the first time correctly.
When you decide to test your property for radon, choosing the right company is very important. Making sure the company you choose is licensed with The Ohio Department of Health is crucial. If you hire a company that is not licensed, you run the risk of needing to re-test at a future date.
When you hire Radon Eliminator, we send a licensed professional to your property to complete an inspection. Once the inspection is complete, the specialist will be able to determine the number of test kits needed to get an accurate reading.
It will be up to the specialist to place the tests kits around the property where they will remain for 48 hours collecting data. The specialist will return two days later to collect the kits and send them to the radon testing lab for analysis. The lab will send the detailed results the same day they receive the kits in the mail.
Once the specialist receives the results, they will be able to help you determine whether or not radon removal is necessary.
Removing radon from a commercial property will be necessary if any of your test kit results have a reading of 4.0 pCi/L or higher.
It is possible for the test kits to have different results, so not every area of the property may be affected. Your radon contractor will be able to determine the number of mitigation systems needed to reduce the radon below the EPA action level of 4.0.
The number of removal systems needed will ultimately determine the amount of time it will take to have the installations complete along with the cost for installation. You will be given a price quote and accurate time frame for the completion of work before the project is started.
Our team of licensed mitigation professionals will re-test your property once the installations are completed to make sure the systems are working correctly. As part of Radon Eliminator's quality assurance guarantee, we ensure our system's abilities and function. This means if they are not reducing the radon levels below the 4.0, we will return and fix the problem at no added cost to you.
If you do not know your properties radon levels, now is the time to hire Radon Eliminator to test your building.
Do not put off the testing process, it is not as daunting as it may seem. Our team can complete the entire properties testing in less than a weeks time if we are given permission to place the kits where they need to go.
Once you are aware of the radon levels, you will be able to make an informed decision regarding radon mitigation.
Radon Gas is not something to be taken lightly, it causes lung cancer and anyone who spends time on your property may be susceptible to contracting it if you have high levels of radon gas and do not know it.
