Radioactive radon gas is a silent killer that can make its way into any house, permeating through the soil and through foundation cracks. Radon emanates naturally from soil and rock, so no building is immune to radon contamination.
The Bowling Green couple had Frontier Basement Systems come by to install our Radon Mitigation System.
The typical system consists of a large diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors.
An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior.
If your home sits on a concrete slab, crawlspace, or basement foundation, high concentrations of radon are possible. Don't wait until it's too late to test for radon, call us today to get a free quote by specialists!
This homeowner had very high Radon readings in the home (4.0-6.0 pCi/L) so they went with a total encapsulation to solve a lot of potential damage and already have issues. By doing the total encapsulation, this homeowner is proactively preventing water damage, mold, and mildew, flooding. They will also be saving on the heating and air conditioning bills, the encapsulation becomes your home's insulation, Along with ridding their home of the high Radon gas, by acting as a vapor guard along with the mitigation system.
This customer came to us with high radon levels in their home, which can be extremely toxic for their family. We encapsulated their crawlspace and placed our Radon System to control and keep the radon levels down!
This Tennessee homeowner had an excessive moisture problem in his crawl space. He called us Frontier Basement Systems to encapsulate his space. While our inspector was inspecting the home, the homeowner had him do a radon test, just to make sure everything was safe.
If a radon test shows that your home has radon levels around or above 4pCi/l (4 picocuries per liter), it’s important to have a radon mitigation system installed by a professional radon contractor. Without radon mitigation, family members will be exposed to potentially lethal levels of radioactivity in the form of invisible, odorless radon gas.
Health experts sometimes refer to radon as the silent killer, and for good reason. Radon is a naturally-occurring radioactive gas that is emitted from rocks and soil. Radon can be found anywhere on earth, and radon emissions vary based on local geography. Radon can easily enter a building through cracks and gaps in the foundation, mixing with the interior air you breathe every day.
Impossible to see or smell, radon gas can cause cellular changes in lung tissue that eventually lead to lung cancer. Radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. It kills about 21,000 people in the U.S. every year.
They had radon levels above 4pCi/l, so along with their crawl space encapsulation, they had the Radon Mitigation System installed.
Next to the system is their new and improved EverLast Door. It is made from ½-in.-thick PVC plastic that is just about indestructible (So, it will never crack, warp, rust, or mold!) It also has a moisture and air tight seal to ensure no critters or cold winter air find their way into your crawl space!
Thanks to the Radon Mitigation System this family is breathing in healthier air!
Don’t guess or hope that your house has low radon levels. Get tested so you can cross radon off your list of health risks.
This customer had high levels of radon in their home coming from their crawlspace, so we installed our Radon Mitigation System with Cleanspace to reduce the levels and keep their air healthy and safe!!
