Q: How often should radon levels be tested to ensure safety?

• <div><p>Testing every 2-5 years or upon adjusting occupancy or structural changes maintains safe environments.</p></div>

Q: Can I use my sump pit for radon mitigation?

• <div><p>If your home has a sump pit, you can integrate it with a radon mitigation system. You can accomplish this by sealing the pump cover with an airtight lid that accommodates radon vent pipes and sump pump hoses. This allows the vent pipe to redirect the radon gas outside of your home.</p></div>

Q: What if radon is still high after mitigation?

• <div><p>You'll need to test your home for radon after installing the mitigation system, then again every two years. If radon remains elevated, contact a licensed radon professional, either the contractor who installed the system or a different one, and have them evaluate the system. They may need to make some changes to improve its effectiveness and performance.</p></div>

Q: What would cause radon in a house?

• <div><p>The natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water can cause radon to appear in a home. The gas seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, walls, or floors, as well as through gaps around pipes or construction joints. Radon levels are influenced by soil composition, building materials, and ventilation. Poorly sealed or airtight homes can trap radon, allowing it to accumulate.</p></div>
