Radon Mitigation Maine

Radon is a radioactive gas present in every home. It is a major cause of lung cancer in many adults. Therefore, the importance of radon mitigation in every home cannot be understated. It is so important that it could be the only factor keeping you away from a doctor’s visit. Radon mitigation reduces radon gas levels in the surrounding environment, usually by installing a radon mitigation system. 

Most people live with dangerous levels of radon in their homes without knowing it. Radon cannot be detected without the help of appropriate tests.  That is why you need a series of radon tests to determine how much of this toxic gas is present in your home.

Radon testing does not only tell you how much radon gas is present in your home. It also helps you identify the source through which the gas gets into your home. Carrying out the appropriate testing helps our professionals determine which mitigation system would be perfect for your home. 
​
Our team of professionals at Maine Radon Pros offer years of experience in radon mitigation. We are capable of giving the best advice on how to get radon out of your home or workplace. This experience makes us the preferred choice in the Maine area.

​Radon Mitigation Done Right

Radon gas can be mitigated in so many ways. Proper ventilation of your home might help, but this will not be as effective as installing a Radon Mitigation system. 

When we carry out radon mitigation, we begin by carrying out a physical home inspection to understand the structure better. Our personnel then confirm the level of radon through testing. Testing also helps us determine the leak's source.

When that is done, we then go on to install a professional radon mitigation system. This system comprises three basic components: the radon fan, which is used to create a suction force, a radon pipe that discharges the gas outdoors, and a manometer used to monitor the mitigation system. Besides installing a Radon Mitigation System, our professionals also trace and seal the points of Radon entry. Most times, the cracks in the walls and foundations of your home are the primary culprits. We fill these cracks with solvent-based caulking to ensure that Radon gas stays out. 
​
Mitigating Radon gas doesn't stop at Radon Mitigation System Installation. You would require a series of testing after the installation. This testing is done to ensure that there are no new leaks in your home. The tests' number and frequency depend on the most recent test results, the size of your home, and the type of mitigation system installed.

Radon Mitigation System Installation

Due to this toxic gas's nature, local authorities permit only qualified professionals to carry out radon mitigation services. Besides, you should not be taking any chances with your health now, should you?

Installing a Radon Mitigation System involves a few processes and decisions. The first step is radon testing. Radon testing is done to ascertain the amount of radon gas in the affected area. By doing this, we determine the gas source and confirm the levels both in and around your building. 

Radon gas levels are measured in pCi/L (picocuries of Radon gas per liter of air). Ideally, safe radon level is 0pCi/L. However, radon is a radioactive naturally occurring gas, it is almost impossible for any system to achieve such levels. However, when we carry out mitigation, we try to meet a target below 4pCi/L. Our goal is to ensure that the levels of Radon concentration in your home pose no risk to you and your family.

It is not advisable to wait until the radon levels skyrocket before removing radon gas. Those whose readings came back negative usually advise installing a mitigation system to keep it that way.

In most cases, we use an underground piping and radon fan system for radon gas removal. This radon mitigation system is often referred to as active soil depressurization. This system draws the radon gas from its source and then disposes of it outside of the building, far away from where you can get in contact with it. While there are many choices of radon mitigation systems available, what we do is simple, we perform an examination of your building and use our results to determine the best option for you.
