What Effect Does Radon Have?

Radon Gas can cause severe health problems. Unfortunately, many residents of Avon Lake do not know about the potential dangers because radon gas is colorless, odorless and education is sorely lacking.

In fact, radioactive radon gas poses one of the greatest home health risks to residents of the Buckeye State, which contains one of the highest radon gas concentration levels.

How does Radon get into your home?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water.

The air pressure inside your home is usually lower than the air pressure outside; this causes a vacuum effect known as pressure differentials, pulling radon in through foundation cracks and other openings. 

Even if cracks in your foundation are not clearly seen, it is still important to get your home tested. Radon levels could still be high because of radon's capacity to permeate concrete. 

How do you Perform a Radon Test?

Radon testing is simple!

A trained member from the Radon Eliminator team will come out to your home and investigate the 7 possible intrusion points throughout your basement.

These 7 intrusion points can come in the forms of foundation cracks, construction joints, cracks in walls, gaps in suspended floors, gaps around service pipes, cavities inside walls, and sump pumps or water supplies.

Once we identify your threat points, the team member will deploy a sensitive testing device to determine the impact of radon on all floors in your home.

Once samples are taken and quantified, the team member will provide you a clear report of their findings.

How Is Radon Gas Measured?

Radon Testing is measured in PicoCuries per Liter. The World Health Organization recommends taking action on any home registering radon levels at or above three pCi/L.

The EPA recommends that action must be taken on any home registering radon levels between 2-4pCi/L and above.

Once your test is complete, the Radon Eliminator contractor will go over the measured findings with you.
