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: Is a radon mitigation system expensive to run?

• <div><p>The fan that pulls the radon out of the air needs to run continuously, so you may see an increase in your electric bill once you install the mitigation system. Additionally, you may see an increase in your heating or cooling bills, as the fan can cause some loss of hot or cool air.</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: How long does radon mitigation take?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the system and property layout.</p></div>

"You need to ask the technicians what to do and when regarding the re-test. The information we received was insufficient to know what to do afterwards and our re-test was delayed X 4 days because of lack of communication. Otherwise VERY Happy with the actual work and costs for the work."
