What Is Radon Mitigation and How Does it Affect Your Health?

Radon Mitigation is the process used to reduce Radon Gas levels within the breathing zones of homes and commercial buildings.

What Mitigation Process Is Used By Radon Eliminator?

Installation the Right Way

It is easy to fix your Radon Gas problem, but it will require some work. During the initial phases of testing, we look at several key points of Radon gas intrusion.

From there, we develop a plan of action based upon the particular needs of your home to handle the problem the right way. 

The beginning of the Radon Removal process is to search for a quality suction point, which will allow easy access, be aesthetically pleasing, and provide the best possible outcome for success.

After we have located the proper suction point, we can begin by drilling a 5" hole into the basement slab to deploy the Mitigation system.

Next, our Radon Removal Specialist will decide how large the "communication pit" needs to be. He will base this on a soil sample and substrate material analysis.

This critical step will help determine the correct dimensions of the communication pit, which will create the proper pathway to draw air from beneath the slab that directs Radon out of the house. If the pit is too small, it will not have enough suction to draw out the Radon. 

When the pit has been dug, the specialist will begin analyzing an appropriate discharge point to exhaust the Radon Gas out of your home.

This step is essential to make sure that the radon being removed does not have the opportunity to re-enter the home due to a poorly routed Mitigation System.

Next, we will begin the pipe fitting process after the appropriate discharge point has been identified and drilled out. This process will begin with sealing the pipe base that goes directly into the ground, which will be done using a backer rod to fill in the gap and finished with an industrial-grade caulk.

After the initial piping is set, the specialist will choose the right pipe pathway. Then, the Radon Eliminator team will connect the PVC pipes with a chemical welding agent to ensure no leaks in the piping system.

Once complete, we can begin the installation of the ventilation fan along the pipe pathway.

Installing the exhaust fan in the proper location is essential to make sure there is enough suction to pull the radioactive Radon Gas from beneath your basement floor out of your home.

How Do You Know The Mitigation System is Working? 

Once the piping has been placed and all the cracks and intrusion points have been filled, the Radon Mitigation Specialist will install a system that will monitor and gauge the ventilation in your Solon home to make sure everything is working correctly. This monitoring tool is called a  U-Tube Manometer. It helps determine if your system is pulling air from beneath your home's sub-slab.

The final step for our Radon Eliminator team is to test the system's pull by performing a radon post-test at the house.

After the Radon Mitigation system is installed, it will run without any real maintenance or upkeep!

It feels good knowing you can breathe easier in your Solon home that is now safe from highly radioactive Radon Gas.
