If you are a Commercial Property owner Near Copley, OH and have never had your building tested for Radon Gas, it's important to contact a licensed Radon Contractor.
Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from soil and rock beneath the foundation of homes and buildings. Radon has the potential to cause lung cancer, and is the second leading cause in the United States.
Radon can be found in small amounts even in the outdoor air that we breathe, the problem arises when the radon becomes trapped inside of a building. The concentration levels can vary from place to place, which means just because your next door neighbor doesn't have high levels of radon, does not mean that your property will not either.
High concentration levels of radon inside your property is a problem, especially for your employees, tenants, or anyone who spends time frequenting your property. If the air inside your building is contaminated, you are putting everyone at risk for contracting lung cancer.
Having your property testing is the first step to take when you are unaware of the radon concentration levels in your building. Once you know the levels, you will be properly informed as to whether or not radon mitigation systems are needed to reduce the levels from your property.

Having your property tested is a big decision, so it should be performed by a licensed professional. The last thing you want is to have to redo the testing because it was not done properly the first time.
The size of your property will determine the amount of test kits needed, and a licensed professional will make sure the correct amount are placed throughout the property along with making sure they are placed in the correct location.
The test kits will remain on the property for a minimum of 48 hours. They are not to be moved around or touched by anyone during this time frame. If the test kits are tampered with, it could skew the results or even result in an inaccurate reading requiring additional time and a new test kit.
When the time is complete, the licensed technician will collect the kits from the property and have them shipped overnight to the radon testing laboratory. The lab will process the test kit results the same day they receive them in the mail.
Ultimately, the entire testing process for your commercial property can take under a week to complete if done properly by a licensed professional.
When the results from the testing are complete, the specialist will go through them with you thoroughly. It's important to realize that if 10 kits were used on your property they can all have varying test results. This is normal and you should not panic and think that the testing has gone wrong.
It is very common for radon levels to fluctuate throughout a given building, so once you know which areas (if any), of the property contain high levels of radon, the specialist will be able to determine the location(s) for the mitigation system(s).
The "action" level that is set by The Environmental Protection Agency states that if a home or building tests at or below 4.0 pCi/L, radon mitigation should be completed to reduce the levels. It's important to note that this is the "take action now" level. This mean, action needs to be taken, it does not mean it should be "considered".
If you decide to move forward with installing the mitigation system(s), the licensed professional will complete a thorough inspection of the property to determine the best location for installation.
Depending upon the number of mitigation systems that are needed, the entire process can take a few days to a few weeks to complete. This is something the specialist would discuss with you further once the amount of mitigations needed is determined.
