More facts about Radon

Did you know that sub-slab radon systems are the most sought out solution when mitigating RADON contamination arising in the home? RADON levels can be reduced up to 75% throughout the space in your dwelling.

RADON is a harmful gas, It cannot be detected unless a special radon test is set-up to find it and measure it.  Radon can destroy health by penetrating into your house through cracks in the foundation and even up and into the indoors from the soil beneath, creeping into the cracks and crevices. When humans and animals breathe this toxic gas, it can cause lung cancer.

Here are 3 steps to proper Radon Mitigation installations:

• Airflow Rating: This aspect of your fan tells how much air your fan can exhaust per minute. It is told by Cubic Flow per Minute (CFM). As this rating increases, your fan takes less time to reduce radon levels. So, we will advise you to buy a fan that gives you high CFM in less power consumption.
• Warranty: Maintenance of your radon fan is a highly expensive procedure. So, if you are buying a low-cost fan which does not have a warranty period then drop the plan of buying that fan. It will give you lots of trouble in future. You will end up spending more money on maintenance than you saved while buying that.
• Noise: Noise is something which every machine carries with itself. So is the case with RADON FANS. But the noise production majorly depends upon the design of your fan. As you will spend more money, you will get a better-designed fan which produces low or little noises which are sustainable. Hence our advice for you will be to buy low noise fan irrespective of its cost.

Radon gas is usually found in seemingly low concentrations of the air outdoors, averaging 4.0 pCi/L. But, when intruding radon seeps inside and into homes and buildings, the gas becomes trapped, filling the space in higher concentrations. This factors very significant health risks to humans under this exposure.

The US EPA, suggests that exposure to radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, EPA also deems radon to be the second cause of lung cancer after smoking. Radon is responsible for more than 21,000 deaths annually here in the United States, including Mequon with its very high radon averages. The best thing a Mequon resident could do for their family is to test for this gas and fix it, if it is found elevated.  Protect you and your loved ones from this silent killer, CALL 262-955-6696
