Radon Mitigation in Mayfield Heights, Ohio

Does your Mayfield Heights, OH home contain elevated levels of Radon Gas?

If there are high concentration levels of radon in your home, you will need to contact an experienced Radon Mitigation Company to install a removal system.

Radon Removal systems reduce the concentration levels of radon inside homes and buildings.

What is the Process for Installing a Mitigation System?

Installation Performed the Right Way

When you need a Mitigation system installed, it's essential to hire a licensed company to install the system properly.

1. To begin the installation process, the technician will need to find a quality suction point that will be easily accessible, is aesthetically pleasing, and provides the best possible outcome for success.

2. The technician will then need to drill a 5" hole in the sub-slab of the basement to deploy the mitigation system.

After this, the technician will decide how large the "communication pit" needs to be.

This decision is a critical step to get right.

If the dimensions are off, there may not be enough suction to draw the gas from beneath the basement.

3. Once decided, the contractor will decide the best location for the discharge point. The discharge point is where the radon gas will be exhausted from the house.

The discharge location mustn't give the radon a chance to re-enter the home.

4. Next, the technician can begin the pipe fitting process. This process starts by sealing the pipe base that goes directly into the ground.

The technician can use a backer rod to fill the spatial gap and finish with an industrial-grade caulk.

5. Once the piping has been set; the technician will need to choose the pipe pathway. They will use a chemical welding agent to connect the PVC piping and ensure no leaks in the piping system.

6. The last step is to install the ventilation fan along the pipe pathway. Your Radon Eliminator mitigation specialist can connect the fan on the outside of the home or, in some cases, in the garage attic.

The ventilation fan removes the radon from beneath the home up through the pipe pathway and out into the atmosphere.

How Will You Know If The Mitigation Was a Success?

When the radon mitigation system is completely installed, the technician will leave a radon testing monitor in the home for 72 hours.

The technician will return three days later to collect the test and let you know if the system has reduced the radon in the home.

If, for some reason, the test results are still elevated, the Radon Eliminator crew will come back and do whatever needs to be done to reduce the levels at no additional cost to you.
