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

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How long can you go without a radon fan?

• <div><p>Your radon fan needs to operate 24/7 to be effective. The only time the fan isn't operating is during its replacement. Radon levels in the home can increase within hours if the fan stops working or something obstructs the stack vent. Fortunately, radon systems require no downtime maintenance between fan changes.</p></div>

Q: Is it okay to live in a house with radon?

• <div><p>Ideally, no one will live in a house with elevated radon levels, as prolonged exposure increases the risk of serious health issues like lung cancer. However, homes with radon can be made safe through mitigation systems, such as active soil depressurization. Testing for radon regularly and addressing high levels helps ensure a safe living environment.</p></div>

Q: How long does the radon abatement process usually take?

• <div><p>Mitigation can take several days depending on home setup, equipment accessibility, and achieving effective diffusion system sealed efficiency.</p></div>
