Radon Mitigation System Installation Differences

By Radon Eliminator Staff on Jun 27, 2018 3:10:00 PM

If your home contains elevated levels of radon gas, you will need a Radon Mitigation System installed to remove the high concentration levels in your home.

For more information on homes with high radon levels, read our blog post: "Is it Safe to Buy a Home with Elevated Radon Levels?"

There are many ways for a home to be built, which means there is more than one way to install a radon mitigation system. There are several options for installation depending on the layout of each home.

When you obtain a price quote from our licensed mitigation specialist they will explain which type of installation will be the most beneficial for your home.

How Long Will my Radon Mitigation System Last? 

If you just had a Radon Mitigation System installed in your Ohio home, you may be wondering, How Long Will My Mitigation System Last? 

For those of you who may have just moved into a home with an already installed radon mitigation system, you may also be wondering the same thing. 

Or maybe you need to have a radon mitigation system installed, but you want to make sure you aren't going to need to turn around and replace the system a year from now. 

Perhaps your home was built with a radon mitigation system and you are wondering if it is still working. Read our blog post: “My new home came with a builder installed passive radon test.

How Long Does it Take to Install a Radon Mitigation System?

By Radon Eliminator Staff on Dec 19, 2016 11:23:25 AM

Radon Mitigation Installation 

The only way to reduce the Radon Gas concentration levels in a home is to have a Radon Mitigation system installed by a licensed professional.

A radon removal system is used to reduce radon levels in a given home significantly. The radon is sucked from beneath the foundation of the home and vented outside. 

There are different types of mitigation systems. Read our blog post: "What is the Difference Between a Passive and Active Radon Mitigation System?

What is a Radon Mitigation System?

By Radon Eliminator Staff on Aug 22, 2016 9:09:22 AM

Radon Mitigation Systems 

Radon Gas carries risk, even at or below the prescribed action level of removal. The process that is used to reduce radon concentration levels in occupied homes or buildings is called Radon Mitigation.

The ultimate goal of a radon mitigation system is to lower the radon levels below the EPA recommended action level.

How Do I Know If My Radon Mitigation System Is Working Properly?

By Radon Eliminator Staff on Feb 5, 2016 3:30:29 PM

Radon mitigation is the process used to reduce radon gas concentrations in the breathing zone of an occupied Cleveland home.

The EPA protocols require each mitigation system to have a warning device installed as a part of every active radon mitigation system to warn the homeowner if there is a system failure.

This device is called a u-tube manometer and it is the warning system installed on most residential mitigation systems. A u-tube manometer is installed on the vent pipe that is installed into the suction pit underneath the concrete slab of the home.

National Radon Action Month

By Radon Eliminator Staff on Jan 2, 2016 1:07:38 PM

January Is Radon Action Month

 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has designated January as Nation Radon Action Month. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and the leading cause among non-smokers. Risk of lung cancer is especially high for people who do smoke and are also exposed to high levels of Radon Gas

Want more reasons for taking care of your potential radon problem? Read our blog post: "Top 5 Reasons You Should Test Your Home for Radon."

Many people have know idea what Radon Gas is. Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas. Radon gas is naturally created from the decay of radioactive elements, such as uranium, which is found in different amounts in soil and rock throughout the world. Radon is extremely prevalent in areas with large levels of granite concentrations. Radon Gas in the soil and rock is released into the air and into underground water and surface water through the natural half-life decay process. 

The break down of Radon into solid radioactive elements is called radon progeny. Radon Progeny attaches itself to dust and other airborne particals that can be absorbed into the lungs through respiration. During the break down process, they give off radiation that damages the DNA inside the body's cells. Continued exposure to high Radon levels causes these radioactive cells to replicate in a process called mutagenesis, this process deeply affects cellular activity within lung tissue and causes an increase in the chance of contracting lung cancer. 

Here are a few steps you can take during Radon Action Month:

  • Test Your Home For Radon: A specialist from our Radon Eliminator Staff will come to your home and set up a Radon Test at a Discounted Price.  
  • Have A Radon Mitigation System Installed In Your Home: If your home tests high for radon gas, take action and have a radon mitigation system installed in in your home. Radon mitigation is the process used to reduce Radon gas concentrations in the breathing zones of occupied homes. 
  • Spread The Word: During Radon Action Month, encourage others to have their homes tested for Radon. Educate your family and friends about the health risks of high levels of Radon Gas

Radon Gas carries risk, even at or below the recommended action level. The risk of lung cancer will increase with a higher long-term average of radon gas levels. According to the EPA, radon mitigation can eliminate up to 99 percent of radon from your home. 

Radon Eliminator is taking action this month by providing Discounted Home Testing or Free Mitigation Quotes. It is our goal to educate as many people as possible about the dangers of Radon Gas levels in homes. Click on the link below for a Discounted Radon Test.
