Some mitigators discourage homeowners from a follow up test, but that's a mistake. Make sure that mitigation system you just had installed is dramatically reducing the radon in your home.

We wouldn't dream of getting an X-Ray at the dentist without the lead cape to protect us from radiation, but so many Americans are breathing without even knowing about it. This chart from the EPA shows annual levels for radon in the home. If you live in a home for 20 years with a radon problem, the impact would be compounded.

But we can do something about it! Have your home tested for and then mitigate any problems the test reveals.

We can help.

Most mitigation systems are installed as a part of a real estate transaction. Too often the sellers are the ones paying for mitigation and they (understandably) just want to get it fixed so they can sell their home.

BUT ALL RADON MITIGATION IS NOT THE SAME.

You and your family will be breathing the air in your new home. Take control and get quality mitigation that will WORK. Even if you have to pay the difference, it will be worth it.

Are you hanging out in your basement during these cold months? You might be exposing yourself to unsafe radon levels.

Did you know that radon levels are usually a little higher in the winter? When you run your heater in a house that is virtually sealed (to keep cold air out and warm air in), your furnace sucks air from the basement, potentially pulling more radon into the house.

Radon is a odorless, invisible gas that is a RADIOACTIVE POISON to your family.
Radon lives underneath your house in the soil... it'll look for the easiest way to come up to the surface... if you have cracks in your basement floor, or a crawlspace, or a sump pump..... It'll find it's way into your home.

Test your home. Mitigate any problems. Breathe Safely.

We get asked all of the time what radon smells like, and how you can tell if it's in your home. Unfortunately, radon has no smell.
Unlike other gases and pollutants, you have no warning that you could have unsafe levels in your home. The only way to know is to test!

Take ACTION on in January by...

☢️Checking your manometer. If you have an active radon mitigation system, check to make sure the manometer is showing pressure with uneven levels in the u-tube. This is an indicator that your system is functioning properly. If anything seems unusual, reach out for a system check-up.

☢️Testing your home and place of work. Even if you've had it tested before, take the time to get a test. Even if you already have a radon mitigation system, do a test. They are relatively inexpensive and give invaluable information about whether you have a radon problem or not.

☢️Asking your friends and family about . Do they know about the risks? Do they know about steps they can take to breathe safely?
