Is there a radon gas safe level?

Radon gas is hazardous to your health. Exposure to Radon may damage your DNA and cause lung cancer. Technically, there are no safe levels of radon exposure. However, the EPA recommends radon mitigation if the level of radon is above 4.0 pCi/L.

What are some radon mitigation solutions?

Foundation type and remediation choice

Homes with slab foundations or basements are often mitigated with suction systems. Pipes are inserted in the soil or rock below in passive suction systems. This is done either from the outside or the floor slab. The radon test results show how many pipes are required and where they should be placed. In most cases, only one pipe is needed to achieve recommended radon gas levels.

In active suction systems, the pipes are connected to vent fans outside the home or in the attic or garage. The fan pulls the gas from the house and releases it into the air.

On the other hand, homes with crawlspaces can benefit from installing HD plastic sheets covering the earth. A pipe is used to suck and release radon gas outside. For a stronger suction, a fan can be installed in the system.

Sealing

Although this isn’t a stand-alone method, sealing the house reinforces other mitigation systems. As the foundation settles, the soil moves, and cracks start to form, allowing radon gas to seep into the house.

Heat recovery ventilator

It’s also called an air-to-air heat exchanger. This system reduces harmful radon levels by increasing ventilation in the house. Although these systems need proper balance to work, they are effective when installed in basements.

Room pressurization

The system has a fan blowing air from the outdoors into the lowest livable space in a home. The windows and doors on the low levels remain closed. Compared to other methods, room pressurization is costly and depends on the home’s construction, layout, and radon levels.

Water treatment at the point of entry

Water might be responsible for some portion of radon concentration in a home from drinking, showering, or running the tap. Springs and wells are more likely to carry radon into the home than surface water. As such, the water should be tested.

Upon hiring our inspection pros in Leesburg, we’ll conduct a comprehensive home inspection and recommend the best approach for removing radon in your water.

What are the costs associated with radon mitigation?

The cost of radon mitigation varies depending on the state, size of your home, rooms with elevated radon levels and the solution you choose.

We chose Radon Defense because of its quick response and fair pricing. Linda presented all the options for the Radon mitigation system with photos and clear prices. The technicians were efficient on the installation and let me know the progress of their work. The look of the installed system blends seamlessly with my house. Overall the experience is great and I would recommend them to others in the future. - 9/07/2024

There are many companies that promise things and don't deliver. This is surely NOT one of them. They told me exactly what to expect and what they could do for me. Eric and Nicolas came out to my house. Expected it thoroughly and went right to work. Prior to them rectifying the issue, our radon levels were off the charts. Now our radon levels are almost non-existent. I had one concern after about four months of having the radon pump placed in our home. I called Radon Defense and Paul answered immediately. Unbeknownst to me, my concern wasn't a concern at all and my radon levels were fine. My issue was were addressed immediately and Paul assured me that Radon Defense will be with my and my family forevermore..... So refreshing. - 9/03/2024

The installation crew was great to work with and the installation looks very good. The radon levels measured the day after the work completed decreased. Hoping that trend will continue. - 8/20/2024

Would recommend Radon Defense. Eric, who came to visit - educated us on its operation and provided valuable homeowner tips. Additionally, Linda, the phone representative, is kind and attentive. - 8/13/2024

David O.

I highly recommend Radon Defense. From my first call through final installation of a radon mitigation system, they were professional, courteous, patient, and never high pressure. I had to get approval from my homeowner's association, which slowed things down for me, but Radon Defense worked with me and were ready to install the system as soon as I got approval. On the day of the installation, the crew was careful and did a very professional installation and cleaned up the work area. They then walked me through the system, explaining how everything works and what I should look out for to make sure it continues to operate. Communication was always clear and prompt with everyone I interacted with. - 8/03/2024

Linda C.

Prior to moving into our residence, we reached out Radon Defense to do a radon inspection. I am so glad we did because our radon levels were sky high. I contacted Linda and she was wonderful — super nice, responsive and knowledgeable. We ended up also getting a mitigation system installed by the company (they offer various styles depending on preference and price point). Eric and Nicholas assisted with that and they were timely and kept me informed on progress. I’ve had such a pleasant experience with this company, and Paul was super helpful when I had follow-up questions as well. You won’t be disappointed if you go with this company! - 8/03/2024

The Radon Defense team was amazing. Their service was professional, prompt, and made an immediate difference in our basement. They installed a system in our house that required relocating a passive pipe. Eric did an excellent job informing us about the process, installing the system, and educating us about how it worked. Linda effectively communicated with us, giving us estimates and arranging a roofer and electrician to complete the job. I would highly recommend Radon Defense! - 8/03/2024

My experience from start to finish was great. I called and spoke with Paul, he helped guide me on the phone with options. The crew that arrived took their time finding the best spot for it it to work and the most aesthetically appealing as well. I would highly recommend them. Thanks - 6/03/2024
