Radon Mitigation in Montgomery Village MD

Radon is an odorless, colorless radioactive gas that originates from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water, often seeping into buildings through foundation cracks and other openings.

In Montgomery Village, MD, where many homes and commercial properties may be susceptible, radon levels can reach alarming concentrations. Effective radon mitigation is crucial for reducing these levels and protecting occupants from long-term health effects.

Radon mitigation in Montgomery Village involves a systematic approach to assess the building’s structure and implement measures that redirect radon gas safely outside.

Radon Defense specializes in these mitigation methods, ensuring that every aspect of the service meets industry standards and provides residents with peace of mind.

Montgomery Village MD Radon Mitigation System

adon mitigation is a process or system that’s used to reduce radon levels or concentrations in a building. The top goal of radon mitigation systems is to reduce the indoor levels of radon to as low as possible. A mitigation system should reduce indoor radon levels to below four picocuries per liter. Some quality mitigation systems reduce year-round levels to sub-two picocuries per liter of air.

The professionals at Radon Defense will help you pick the best mitigation system. This decision depends on the type of foundation the building has. The common radon mitigation systems we install include:

Sub-slab suction – This system pulls radon gas from the slab foundation through a vent pipe and directs it outside.
Drain tile suction – This pipe goes into the drain tile and vents the radon gas outside. The covers are put over sump baskets.
Sub-membrane ventilation – We use these in crawl spaces. We cover the exposed dirt with a plastic sheet, making sure we extend the covering onto the wall for a good seal. We then install a radon pipe that goes through the plastic sheeting and sucks the gas directing it outside the building.

In addition to setting up these systems, we also seal openings and cracks in the foundation through which radon gas may seep in. Doing this reduces the buildup of radon, making the system more efficient.

Radon Testing in Montgomery Village MD

To determine how serious your radon exposure situation is, you need to conduct a test. While there are home test kits available, they are often inaccurate and prone to mistakes. We recommend working with a professional radon testing company like Radon Defense.

At Radon Defense, we have modern and high-tech tools you need for accurate radon-level testing. Some radon tests available today include:

Short-term test kits: These radon test kits measure radon concentration for between 2 and 7 days. They are a fast way of screening a property for radon levels.
Long-term test: These tests measure radon levels for at least 90 days. They are ideal for determining the annual average estimate of radon levels in your property. Long-term testing usually includes the non-heating and heating seasons.

We recommend testing for radon every 2-5 years. You should also go through the testing process with our expert team before and after making major changes to your home, such as making energy-efficient improvements and installing a vent hood in your kitchen. It’s the only way to protect yourself from serious health risks.

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

Kate H.

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

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
