Hooray!  Thank you soooo much for the radon mitigation work!  Lenny and the

other contractor were VERY professional and left everything in perfect and

clean condition.

If you ever need a recommendation, please have people contact us!  We are

very happy customers with great results -- our radon levels dropped from 28

Reducing Radon Levels

Reducing #Radon Levels

Mitigation involves repairing or altering a building or building design for the purpose of reducing the concentration of radon in the indoor atmosphere.

Exact system design will vary from house to house dependent upon foundation type and building materials however most will consist of PVC pipe suction points attached to a fan pulling air from under the slab foundation or membrane and disposing of it above the highest eve of the roof. This system depressurizes the house in comparison to the outside environment, reducing the levels of soil gas (and radon) being drawn into the house.

The Healh Risk: How Does Radon Cause Lung Cancer

The Health Risk: How Does Radon Cause Lung Cancer?

Radon decay products (RDPs) are charged heavy metals and can be inhaled as attachments to atmospheric particles. Such atmospheric particles include dust, smoke or biological entities. The smaller the particles the deeper into the respiratory tract the RDPs may travel. Within the respiratory system, particles may chemically or physically adhere to the mucus lining of the alveoli or bronchial regions. Adherence can increase the retention period for RDPs and also increase the probability of decay occurring while still inside the lungs because of their short half-lives. Decay and resulting emission of alpha particles may damage cells and initiate cellular mutations. Lung cancer due to inhalation of radon decay products constitutes the only known risk associated with radon.
