If you are a property owner in Westerville, OH, you may or may not be aware of the dangers of Radon Gas and the health concerns associated with it.
Radon is a radioactive gas the comes from soil and rock. Most properties are built on the ground that contains soil and rock, which means there is a good chance that your building contains some level of radon.
Radon is in the air we breath outdoors; however, the concentration level is so low it does not pose a threat to our health. Radon becomes dangerous when it is allowed to accumulate inside a building. This is when the concentration levels can reach a dangerous level, and potentially cause us to suffer from lung cancer.
Determining the concentration levels is very important if you want to make sure you're providing a safe environment for yourself and anyone who may be at your property frequently. Unfortunately, the only way to tell if you have a radon problem is to test the building with a specific radon device, because radon cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted.
Testing your commercial property for radon is not as difficult as you may initially believe.
Hiring a licensed professional is your first step if you want to make sure the testing is done right and in a timely manner.
When you hire a licensed professional, they will inspect your property and determine the number of test kits needed to obtain an accurate reading. They will then place the kits in various areas of the property where they will remain for a minimum of 48 hours.
You will be given detailed instructions not to tamper with the kits during the testing process because moving them around will result in an inaccurate reading.
When the technician returns to collect the kits, they will mail them to the radon laboratory for a thorough analysis. The lab works quickly and will send the technician the test results the same day they receive the kits in the mail.
Your radon contractor will then send you a copy of the results and explain what they mean in detail, so you have an understanding as to whether or not further action needs to be taken to reduce the concentration levels.
In the event you have any test kits that come back with a radon level at or above a 4.0 pCi/L, you will need to install a radon mitigation system to reduce the concentration levels.
According to The Environmental Protection Agency, Radon is at a "dangerous" level when it reaches a 4.0; this means action needs to be taken to lower the leaves if you want your building to be a safe environment.
It is possible for certain areas of the building to require radon mitigation, while others may not. Your contractor will determine the best locations for the installations in order to obtain optimal results.
Once the contractor knows the test results, they will walk you through the installation process and determine the length of time it will take to reduce the radon concentration levels in your building.
Once the installations are complete, our team will test the entire property again. This is part of our quality assurance guarantee, to make sure that our systems are performing properly by reducing the radon levels inside the building.
