Lakewood, like many Ohio cities, has extremely high levels of Radon gas toxicity. Getting a Radon Test for your home is essential.

Radon Gas Problems Are Not Well Known

Indoor Radon Gas toxicity is a serious issue for people in the Buckeye State, which finds itself in the middle of a Radon Belt that stretches from New York State all the way into the Great Plains. In fact, high levels of Radon have been found in every Ohio county! Any home in the state may have a Radon problem, and the 50,000+ homeowners in Lakewood are no exception. Sadly, most homeowners don't know about the dangers of radon gas and its cancer-causing properties because radon is odorless, colorless, tasteless, and health education is sorely lacking. According to the Ohio Department of Health, 50% of Ohio homes have Radon levels that pose a large cancer risk over several years of continued exposure. Whether your house is old or new construction doesn't matter; our cold local climate yields a higher exposure level to radon gas due to the amount of time we spend inside our home.

Radon has become the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer and claims over 20,000 lives per year in the US alone!

How Does Radon Gas Get Into My Home?

Radon gas production and concentration is a normal process that occurs from the breakdown of thorium and uranium in soil, rock, and water. The air pressure differences inside your home versus outside create a vacuum effect known as pressure differentials, pulling radon up through every foundation crack and opening directly into your home. Even if you cannot visibly see cracks in your basement foundation, it is still necessary to get your home tested for Radon. Radon levels can still be high because their radioactive properties enable the gas to leak through concrete. The EPA states, "Any Radon exposure creates a higher probability of lung cancer. The lower the radon level in your home, the lower your family's risk of developing lung cancer."

Radon Testing and Mitigation services should only be performed by a Licensed Professional.

Radon testing is uncomplicated, accurate, and extremely effective! An EPA licensed member of the Radon Eliminator team will come to your house to examine the 7 possible intrusion points in your basement or 1st floor if you have a slab floor. These 7 intrusion points give us a better understanding of where the Radon is coming from and how to correct the problem if your levels come back elevated. The 7 intrusion points come in the form of construction joints, foundation cracks, cavities inside walls, gaps in suspended floors, crawlspaces, cracks in walls, gaps around service pipes, and sump pumps or water supplies. Once we locate your home's unique weaknesses, our team member will set up a specialized Radon Testing device to measure the impact of radon in your home. After a 52-72 hour period has elapsed, we will come back to collect the measurements. After the results are quantified, our Radon Testing and Mitigation Specialist will provide you a complete report of their findings and how you can Mitigate any potential problem.

How are Radon Levels measured?

Radon Testing in the US is measured in PicoCuries per Liter; The EPA recommends that every homeowner take action if their home is registering radon levels between 2-4pCi/L and above. The World Health Organization recommends that action be taken on any home producing radon levels at or above 2.7 pCi/L. Once your test is complete, a Radon Eliminator Testing and Mitigation Specialist will show and explain the determined findings in your home and discuss mitigation procedures and prices if needed.
