Our Licensed Radon Company in Granville can provide you with Radon Testing and Mitigation Services.
According to EPA reports, radon is the main source of lung cancer for non-smokers. In general, radon causes nearly 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year. Approximately 2,900 of these fatalities affect people who never smoked.
Therefore, the EPA strongly advises all homeowners to conduct a radon test for all structures. You should remedy the issue if your radon concentration is reported to be 4 pCi/L or above for safety purposes.
Radon levels below 4 pCi/L still present a danger. However, it can be minimized in many situations. If you smoke and your home includes high radon concentrations, there is a good chance of developing lung cancer in the long run.
Granville was designed to look like a New England town. This charming village has a total population of 6,400. It has maintained its charm as a small town and is characterized by quaint local stores, historic buildings and museums, tree-lined boulevards, and majestic structures.
At Radon Eliminator, we can help you overcome your radon issue. We have the tools and the experience to use the most appropriate radon mitigation system and minimize the radon levels in your home or building. We offer commercial and residential radon testing and mitigation in Granville, Ohio.
Radon is a radioactive gas produced by the natural disintegration of uranium in rocks. Considered a lung carcinogen, it can present a risk to your health when it accumulates in buildings.
Generally low in outdoor air, radon concentrations can sometimes be high inside structures and enclosed places. Radon is present everywhere in the United States, and its concentration in buildings is highly variable.
Once produced by rocks, radon can move to the atmosphere through rocks and soil's porosity. It can dissolve in groundwater. Despite its relatively short radioactive half-life, radon manages to leave the stones to reach the air we breathe.
As radon decays, it forms solid progeny, which are themselves dangerous. These descendants can attach themselves to air aerosols and, once inhaled, settle along the respiratory tract, causing them to irradiate.
In the outside air, radon is rapidly diluted. Its average concentration generally remains low: most often less than 3pCi/L. However, in confined places such as caves, underground mines, and buildings, radon can accumulate and reach high concentrations.
The average indoor radon level in American homes is less than 1.3 pCi/L. Nevertheless, there is a significant difference in the radon level from one home to another, even if they are next to each other, depending mainly on the building's technical characteristics.
At Radon Eliminator, our qualified professionals can reduce your home's indoor radon levels and guarantee a safer and healthier environment to live.
Radon has been recognized as a lung carcinogen by the World Health Organization (WHO) since 1987. Several studies prove that regular exposure to high radon concentrations over many years increases the risk of developing lung cancer. However, it has not been proven to be involved in the occurrence of other cancers.
The more intense and longer the exposure, the higher the risk. We also know that the harmful effects of radon add up to those of tobacco. Thus, smokers are at a much higher risk, even if exposed to relatively low concentration levels than non-smokers in developing lung cancer following exposure.
Leaks in-built surfaces in contact with natural terrain represent the main pathways for radon infiltration into the building. These openings include the following:
After infiltration into the building, radon can spread through the following routes:
In special cases, radon can originate from building materials, for example (granite rock). In this case, the walls themselves can be regarded as radon transfer paths from one floor to another.
There are a variety of approaches that we can use to reduce indoor radon in your property. Some strategies eliminate radon from infiltrating your house, while others lower the radon number after entering your place. The EPA generally suggests methods that limit the entry of radon.
The first option consists of ensuring a good airtightness between the building and its basement by sealing the slabs' cracks, the joints between walls and floors, and pipes' passages.
The second approach is to dilute radon by increasing air renewal through natural ventilation. This alternative is capable of putting your rooms in slight overpressure, thus avoiding the entry of radon.
Finally, it may be more effective to provide natural or mechanical ventilation in the basement or crawl space. If there is no cellar in your home, we can proceed with a radon mitigation system to remove the radon.
For example, soil suction blocks radon from penetrating your residential or commercial property by pulling the radon from below the home and releasing it through a pipe to the air above the house, where it is quickly reduced.
We conduct a visual analysis of your property and build a system that takes into account the unique features of your building. In case this radon inspection fails to provide sufficient details, we may need to undertake more advanced diagnostic tests during the initial stage of the construction. The objective is to design the best radon mitigation system for your home.
The best way to determine the radon level in any residence is to perform a test. High radon concentrations have been observed in brand new buildings as well as old.
At Radon Eliminator, we offer safe and secure radon mitigation services that meet the client's expectations for a radon-resistant system. We look after our consumers' homes by installing effective, nicely-looking radon removal systems that can fit the building's design.
