Radon Mitigation Potomac, Maryland

Most people put off radon testing because they are afraid of the results. However, radon tests are the only way to determine the level of radon exposure in your Potomac residence.

If your radon test determines all is well, congratulations. But if the test determines dangerous levels of radon gas, you need to take action to protect your family.

Radon Defense understands the proper radon measurement protocols. We are also the best company to help rid your home of harmful radon gas in your Potomac home.

What is a radon mitigation system?

Radon mitigation systems are systems or steps created to reduce indoor radon levels to an acceptable level. The EPA recommends installing a remediation system if your radon test determines radon levels of 4 picoCuries per Liter of air or higher.

What are the benefits of radon mitigation solutions?

The number one benefit of radon reduction methods is reducing the risk of lung cancer. Generally, standard radon mitigation systems get the job done in 24 hours and maintain low levels, provided the fan is running.

Also, radon mitigation systems help reduce the infiltration of moist soil air mixed with radon. This helps to reduce humidity levels in your basement.

If you are a real estate agent in Potomac, installing radon remediation systems before a sale helps increase the perceived value of a home.

Why should I hire a professional to correct the radon problem?

Reducing elevated radon levels needs technical knowledge, experience, and special skills. You should hire a contractor that’s trained to install radon fixes.

The EPA halted the Radon Proficiency Program in 1998. They formed the program to test radon contractors and offer quality control. Currently, two national organizations control the quality of the installed systems and certify radon professionals:

National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP)
National radon Safety Board

Hiring a radon professional certified by these bodies ensures you get the best radon testing and remediation service. Radon Defense experts in Potomac are certified by the NRPP and use the latest technology equipment and supplies to install the systems.

Do I have to test my home after the installation of radon mitigation systems?

Some radon reduction systems have a monitor that’ll alert you when the system needs servicing. However, regardless of the solution installed, you should conduct a fresh radon inspection to ensure radon gas levels are reduced.

Moreover, we recommend retesting your home regularly to elevated level of radon. These tests should be done every two years or as required in Potomac, Maryland. We also recommend retesting your home if it goes through significant structural changes.

Even in these subsequent radon gas testing, you should hire a professional. This protects you from the inaccuracies that come with Radon test kits.

Examples of radon mitigation systems

Overall, there are three radon remediation solutions. The sub-slab suction system, the sub-membrane suction, and the heat recovery ventilation systems. Some radon remediators combine sub-membrane and sub-slab solutions in situations that call for a combination of techniques.

The radon gas removal system installed depends on the radon levels, your budget, square feet of the house, and type of foundation. Call our experts at Radon Defense and they’ll be happy to answer any questions on the different radon mitigation systems. After a site visit, we’ll even help you choose the best solution for your home.
