New Home Construction
There are hundreds of homes going up in the Hoover and Shelby county areas. Do you know that there is a better than 50% chance that they have radon levels above 2pCi/L? Radon reduction systems in new homes are relatively inexpensive and easy to install at the right time in construction.
Would you buy a new home for hundreds of thousands of dollars only to move your family in and risk their health? Doesn’t make any sense.
Approximately 10 million homes throughout the United States have indoor radon levels exceeding the EPA Action Level of 4.0 pCi/l. Even at today’s lower annual rates of new home building, we continue to build more new homes with elevated radon levels than the total number of homes (new and existing) than we fix each year. The only way we will get on top of the growing radon-induced lung cancer rate is to stop building homes with radon levels above the EPA Action Level. Easy, inexpensive control measures that can reduce indoor radon levels can be built in during new home construction.
Simple code changes are the first step in the battle to control radon in new homes. Minnesota has taken steps to require building in radon reducing features in all new homes built in their state. Knowing that these steps do not go far enough to assure reduced radon levels, the Minnesota Department of Health has created a voluntary Gold Standard program to encourage builders to install complete (with radon fan) systems which will assure positive control of radon levels.
If you are building or buying a house, please have it tested. Some home inspectors are certified to test, call us, whichever, just get it checked!!
