Reduce Radon
What Is Radon Mitigation?
Radon mitigation is the process of reducing radon levels inside a building. A radon mitigation system typically works by collecting radon from beneath the building and venting it safely outside, preventing radon from accumulating indoors.
Do I Need to Fix My Home?
If your radon level is 4 pCi/L or higher, EPA recommends taking action to reduce the level. If your result is between 2 and 4 pCi/L, you may also want to consider reducing the radon level.
Who Should Install Mitigation System
Consider using a qualified radon mitigation professional to evaluate your building and install an appropriate system. A qualified professional can:
- Evaluate the building
- Determine the likely source of radon entry
- Recommend an appropriate mitigation system
- Install the system
- Test the building after mitigation to determine whether radon levels have been reduced
Does Mitigation Work?
Yes. Properly designed and installed radon mitigation systems can significantly reduce indoor radon levels. After mitigation, the building should be retested to determine whether the system is working effectively.
Don’t Cover Up the Problem
Sealing cracks and openings can be part of a mitigation system, but sealing alone is generally not considered a reliable way to reduce high radon levels. A qualified professional can determine the best approach for the building.
