"I recently hired Acceptable Environment to install a new radon mitigation system in my home in Warwick, NY, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first call, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. They walked me through the entire process clearly, answered all my questions about the system and what to expect, and scheduled the work promptly. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and installed the new system with minimal disruption to my household. They went above and beyond by carefully sealing the basement foundation and taking every precaution to contain dust and debris. When they finished, they cleaned up so thoroughly that you’d never know major work had just been done — no mess left behind at all. The best part? The post-mitigation testing came back with radon levels at just 0.3 pCi/L — down from well above EPA action levels before the install."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is present everywhere, complete avoidance is impossible. 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 preventative measures if your home's radon levels are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.

The soil beneath your house is most likely what’s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it’s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn’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.

Keeping radon from getting into your home is much better than having to get rid of it once it's already indoors. While there may not be a way to fully prevent radon from getting into your home, there are things you can do to reduce the gas's ability to enter. 

Sealing foundation cracks and openings can help keep the gas from seeping inside. Improving air flow, such as by opening windows, can also be helpful. If you're building your home from scratch, talk to your contractor about using radon-resistant construction to keep the gas out.

While DIY testing is possible, abatement generally requires professional installation to ensure efficacy and meet safety standards.

Long-term exposure increases lung cancer risks. Prolonged homestay individuals and smokers encounter heightened vulnerability and exposure concerns.
