Frequently Asked Questions About Radon Mitigation

Below are some of the most frequent questions we receive in Birmingham, but feel free to reach out if you have any additional queries.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes through cracks in floors and walls. It is a colorless, odorless gas, making it undetectable without special equipment. Radon exposure is a matter of concern because it is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon can increase your risk of developing lung cancer. This is why it is crucial to test for radon levels in your home and consider mitigation strategies if necessary to ensure the safety and health of the occupants.

Radon mitigation works by reducing radon levels within a home or building. The most common and effective method is Active Soil Depressurization (ASD). This system involves creating a vacuum underneath the foundation of the house, which draws radon from below the building and vents it safely outside. This prevents radon gas from entering the living spaces. Other methods include sealing cracks and other entry points in foundations and employing ventilation to dilute radon concentrations. Each home is different, so solutions are tailored to the specific needs of the building and its occupants.

Unfortunately, radon gas is invisible and odorless, so there are no physical signs to indicate its presence in your home. The only way to know if your home has radon is by conducting a radon test. Testing is both simple and inexpensive, typically involving a small device that you can place in the lowest occupied level of your home for a few days to measure radon levels. Other than testing, paying attention to local radon maps, which provide information on radon levels in your area, can also be helpful, but testing is the only definitive way to know your home’s radon levels.

It is recommended to test your home for radon periodically, especially after renovations, major changes in the HVAC system, or changes in living patterns. Testing at least once every two to five years under normal circumstances is a good practice. However, if you have previously detected high levels of radon, annual or biannual checks may be warranted. This ongoing testing ensures that the radon levels remain low and safe for occupants. If you’ve installed a radon mitigation system, it’s important to monitor its effectiveness over time.

Radon can be a concern in any geographical area, though some regions tend to have higher concentrations than others. The distribution of radon is closely linked to the geological composition of an area. Homes built on granite or shale, for instance, might have higher natural radon levels. However, indoor radon problems can be present in any home without obvious factors. Therefore, regardless of your location, it is advisable to test for radon to ensure that levels are not hazardous. The only way to know the radon levels in a home is by performing a test.

Chronic exposure to elevated levels of radon significantly increases the risk of developing lung cancer. This risk is heightened for smokers exposed to radon. Radon exposure does not cause immediate symptoms but contributes to the development of cancer over years. The risk level correlates with the radon concentration and cumulative duration of exposure. Thus, detection and mitigation are crucial to minimize health risks. Since symptoms take years to manifest, regular testing is essential for early detection and preventive action.

The cost of a radon mitigation system varies based on several factors, including the home’s design, size, and radon levels. Basic systems average around $3,200.00, though costs may fluctuate based on local market conditions and specific requirements of the home. Costs for ongoing monitoring and maintenance may also be in consideration. Investing in radon mitigation is generally considered worthwhile given the potential health risks of prolonged exposure. Consulting with a certified radon mitigation professional can provide a more accurate estimate and ensure the system is tailored to the home’s needs.

Yes, radon levels can fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including changes in soil moisture, atmospheric pressure, house ventilation, and seasonal variations. For instance, radon levels may be higher during the colder months when homes are sealed more tightly, reducing airflow. Levels can also change due to modifications in the home or nearby construction activities that disturb the ground. Regular testing over time provides the best insight into the radon level patterns and helps maintain a safe environment for the home’s occupants.

When selecting a radon mitigation professional, ensure they are certified by a recognized authority such as the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP). Check their experience and ask for references or testimonials from past clients. A reputable professional should thoroughly provide a detailed proposal and estimate after evaluating your home. They should also adhere to local regulations and use industry-standard methodologies. Reliable professionals will discuss various mitigation options, possible costs, ongoing maintenance, and warranties or guarantees provided for their work.
