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.

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

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

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

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
