"Scott Bacon of Certified Radon Systems, LLC is the best! If you need radon mitigation, I highly recommend Scott Bacon and Certified Radon Systems, LLC. We saw a mansion for sale in another state online and bought it. Of course, there are lots of things to fix up with the new house, including radon mitigation. Before we even set foot in the house, Scott evaluated the property and set up a mitigation plan. He worked with us remotely, so we didnâ  t have any extra costs of flying out to the new home before we were ready to move. And he installed the equipment on time and without a single problem. Scott also followed up after the install and did some testing to make sure the systems worked properly. The house is enormous, but the cost for the mitigation systems was extremely affordable. Scott Bacon and Certified Radon Systems, LLC were ultra-reliable and did a fantastic job! If you need radon mitigation, use Certified Radon Systems, LLC. Youâ  ll get excellent customer service and peace of mind knowing you are working with professionals to safeguard your home."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

You can vent radon out of your house sometimes by simply opening a window, but it won’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.

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.

Radon enters your home when warm air begins to rise and exits through the roof, creating a vacuum that pulls cooler air from under the foundation. Part of that air is radon, which is an invisible, odorless gas that develops naturally when radioactive particles are deep within the ground. Those particles usually come from decaying matter in soil and rocks.

The lifespan of a radon mitigation system depends on the type of system and its maintenance. With proper care, a system can last for many decades. Passive systems tend to last longer as they have fewer components that require replacement. Active systems, which have more moving parts like fans, generally have a shorter lifespan. For instance, water filtration devices and active pressurization systems require more frequent maintenance. While the system as a whole is durable, the radon fan in an active system typically has a lifespan of 5 to 10 years and will need to be replaced. As long as the fan is working, the mitigation system should function correctly.

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.
