What effect does radon have?
Radon gas proliferation is a serious issue for "The City of Champions" Massillon. Sadly, most Massillon homeowners don't know about the severity of radon gas poisoning because it is colorless, odorless and proper education is sorely lacking.
The Ohio Department of Health estimates that one in two Ohio homes have radon levels that may pose a large risk to health over many years of exposure.
Regardless if the house is old or newly constructed, our climate creates a higher exposure level to radon because of the amount of time we spend indoors. For even more information click here.
How does Radon get into your Massillon home?
Radon gas formation is a natural process that occurs from the breakdown of uranium and thorium in soil, rock, and water.
The air pressure inside your home is usually lower than the air pressure outside, which causes a vacuum effect known as pressure differentials, pulling radon up through foundation cracks and other openings, directly into your home.
Even if you cannot see cracks in your foundation, it is still necessary to get your home tested. Radon levels can be dangerously high because of radon's unique capacity to permeate concrete.
What does professionally done testing look like?
Radon testing is a simple and efficient process. A certified member of the Radon Eliminator team will come to your house and investigate the 7 possible intrusion points throughout your basement.
These 7 intrusion points can come in the forms of construction joints, cavities inside walls, foundation cracks, cracks in walls, gaps in suspended floors, gaps around service pipes, and sump pumps or water supplies.
Once we identify your home's unique intrusion points, the team member will measure the impact of radon on all floors in your home by deploying a sensitive testing device.
Then, when the data is 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 that action be taken on any home registering radon levels at or above 2,7 pCi/L.
The EPA recommends that action 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 in your home and discuss the potential mitigation procedures if necessary.
Where to go from here?
