Radon Mitigation

What is Radon?

Radon is a radioactive gas produced from the natural breakdown of uranium in the ground. While radon is present in the air we breathe outdoors, it becomes dangerous when it accumulates inside enclosed spaces, such as homes or buildings.

 

Why is Radon Dangerous?

Radon exposure is linked to approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths annually in the United States. The EPA and World Health Organization recommend taking action if indoor radon levels exceed 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter).

 

How Radon Enters Your Home

Radon can infiltrate your home through:

• Cracks in the foundation or basement floors

• Gaps around pipes or wiring

• Construction joints

• Sump pumps or crawl spaces

 

Because radon is invisible and odorless, testing is the only way to determine if it’s present in your home.

 

Our Radon Mitigation Process

At H2O Plumbing, we follow a comprehensive process to ensure your home’s radon levels are reduced effectively and safely:

 

1. Radon Testing

We begin with professional radon testing to measure the levels of radon in your home. This step is critical to determine the severity of the issue and guide our mitigation plan.

2. Custom Mitigation Plan

Based on the test results, we design a tailored radon mitigation system to meet your home’s unique needs.

3. Installation of Mitigation Systems

 

Our technicians install specialized systems to reduce radon levels, such as:

• Active Sub-Slab Depressurization Systems: A fan and vent pipe system that removes radon from beneath your home’s foundation.

• Crawl Space Ventilation: Improves airflow in crawl spaces to reduce radon buildup.

• Sealing and Caulking: Seals cracks and entry points to minimize radon infiltration.

 

4. Post-Mitigation Testing

After installation, we perform follow-up testing to ensure the system is effectively reducing radon levels to safe standards.
