Radon is widely known as a serious health risk, and for good reason. It is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers in the United States. While radon can be present in any type of building, homes are where people experience the longest and most frequent exposure.
Because radon gas is colorless, odorless, and invisible, it cannot be detected without proper testing. As a result, many homeowners are unaware they have elevated radon levels until they test their property.
The good news is that radon exposure can be significantly reduced. Residential radon mitigation systems are designed to lower radon levels and improve indoor air quality. These systems can be installed in almost any home.
If you are concerned about radon exposure, the first step is testing. Once you know your radon level, you can determine whether a mitigation system is recommended. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advises taking action at levels of 4.0 pCi/L or higher.
Common Questions About Radon Mitigation
Why Is Radon Mitigation Important?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can be found in all 50 states; radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among nonsmokers in the United States and accounts for about 21,000 deaths each year. It comes from the decay of uranium in rocks, soil, and water and gets into the air we breathe. The EPA recommends radon mitigation for any level of contamination that exceeds 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L).
How Much Does Radon Mitigation Cost?
The cost of radon mitigation depends on the size and type of structure, as well as the specific mitigation system.
