If there are elevated levels of Radon Gas in your Avon Lake, Oh home, the contractors at Radon Eliminator can help you.

The purpose of a radon mitigation system is to eliminate high concentration levels of radon gas, making the breathing zone inside of the home safe.
Installation Performed the Right Way
When you need a radon mitigation system installed, it's vital to hire a licensed professional.
Specific rules need following to make sure the system is installed up to code.
The Rules Are As Followed:
1. The installation process begins by locating a suction point that is easy to access and has the best outcome for the system's success.
2. The technician will then drill a 5" hole in the sub-slab of the basement to deploy the mitigation system.
The dimensions of the communication pit must be exact. Otherwise, there may not be enough suction to remove the gas from the house.
3. The specialist will then decide the best location for the discharge point to exhaust the gas from the house.
When making this decision, the specialist will need to ensure that they choose a place where the gas will not have an opportunity to re-enter the home.
4. When the discharge point is found, the pipe fitting process can begin. The pipe base that goes directly into the ground will then need to be sealed.
This is done using a backer rod to fill the spatial gap and finished with an industrial-grade caulk.
5. After the piping has been placed, the radon mitigation specialists and the homeowner must decide on the best pipe pathway for exiting the house. A chemical welding agent will connect the PVC piping. This process ensures there are no leaks in the piping system.
6. Finally, your radon mitigation specialist can install the ventilation fan along with the pipe pathway. The exhaust fan can either be connected to the outside of the house. In some cases, the pipe pathway can be installed inside the garage attic.
The ventilation fan is used to draw the radon from beneath the sub-slab of the basement, through the piping system, and out into the atmosphere.
The final step in the installation process is leaving a post-mitigation radon test in the home for 72 hours. Leaving a test is very important. It ensures that the system was correctly installed and that the levels of radon are being reduced.
If, for some reason, the radon levels do not drop below the EPA recommended action level of 4.0, the team at Radon Eliminator will return and do whatever needs to be done at no additional cost to you.
