There are many property owners who are just starting to hear about Radon Gas and the dangers that it can cause to those who spend time on the property. If hearing about Radon is new to you, be sure to read to the bottom to find out why radon testing and mitigation services are so important and how easy it can be to make sure the people on your property are safe.
Radon gas comes from uranium that is found in soil and rocks. It can be found in varying amount in every single home throughout the state of Ohio, it is also in the air we breathe outdoors.
The difference between breathing in radon outdoors versus indoors has to do with the concentration levels that we are breathing. Outdoors, radon is present with very low concentration levels, roughly 0.4-0.6 pCi/L, whereas some indoor radon levels can be excessively high.
Every property is different, and just because your neighbor had high or low concentration levels does not mean that your property will be the same. This is also not to say that every commercial building will have high radon levels, only that there is a possibility, and not testing radon could lead to health concerns among you or anyone who spends time on your property.
The thing about radon is, you're not going to be able to tell if there is a radon problem unless you have the property tested with a specific radon testing kit or monitoring device. Since radon is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, trying to asses the concentration levels on your own is possible.

Radon Testing for commercial properties is a process that should only be attempted by a licensed professional. You may be wondering why it's best not to test your property on your own, and the main reason has to do with wasted time and money.
It's all too easy for someone who is not familiar with the radon testing process, rules or regulations, to spend a substantial amount of money and then not obtain accurate test results. This is the number one reason why it's much easier to hire a professional company from the start, it will save you time and money in the long run.
A licensed professional will have taken and passed exams in order to be certified to perform radon testing. The specialist will know which test kits need to be used, how many need to be used, and most importantly where these kits need to be placed throughout the property in order to obtain an accurate reading.
Radon testing takes a minimum of 48 hours, so once the kits have been placed throughout the property, the amount of kits needed will be determined by the specialists after a thorough inspection of the property, the specialist will return to collect the kits and overnight mail them to the radon testing lab for an in-depth analysis.
The lab is fast, and they will send the test results to the specialist the same day they receive them in the mail. The radon technician will then explain the test results in detail so you are aware of the next steps that may be needed depending on the results.
Here's the deal, according to The Environmental Protection Agency, the "action" level is 4.0 pCi/L. This means at or above this level, it is highly recommended by the EPA that action is taken to reduce the concentration levels inside a home or building. This level is considered to be dangerous, and action should be taken, not just "considered".
The test results for your property may fluctuate, which means certain areas of the property may not need a removal system but some areas might. Once you have the results back from your tests, your radon contractor will be able to determine the amount of systems needed to reduce the radon level below the action level.
The amount of systems needed will determine the amount of time that it will take to install the systems. The time range can fluctuate greatly because of the property size and the amount of installations needed. Your contractor will be able to give you an accurate time frame once their inspection of the property has been completed.
You will also be given an accurate price quote before any work is started, and at Radon Eliminator our systems come with a quality assurance guarantee.
