Q: Can I perform radon gas abatement myself?

• <div><p>While DIY testing is possible, abatement generally requires professional installation to ensure efficacy and meet safety standards.</p></div>

Q: How do you remove radon from your home?

• <div><p>You can vent radon out of your house sometimes by simply opening a window, but it won&rsquo;t remove the source, and will likely rise above recommended levels quickly. A professional will be needed to assess your home, and determine the best strategy for radon removal. Active radon sump pumps and soil depressurization systems are often used to forcefully vent the radon from your home.</p></div>

Q: What level of radon is considered safe or dangerous?

• <div><p>No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is naturally present everywhere, it is impossible to avoid entirely. The average radon level in homes across the United States is 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking action to reduce radon levels if your home's test results are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.</p></div>

Q: What is the biggest source of radon?

• <div><p>The soil beneath your house is most likely what&rsquo;s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it&rsquo;s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn&rsquo;t been through periodic radon tests, such as well water. Over time, the radon from the soil can inhabit other parts of your house like the foundation or plumbing.</p></div>

Q: What are the risks of radon?

• <div><p>Radon is the number one non-smoking cause of lung cancer in the United States, but it can cause some other concerning side effects in the meantime. If you have a raspy voice, chest pains, trouble breathing, difficulty swallowing, or any of the above, don&rsquo;t hesitate to perform radon testing and install a mitigation system as soon as possible.</p></div>
