Radon Testing & Radon MItigation

What is Radon

Radon is a naturally occurring gas from the decay of Uranium in nearly all of Earth's soil, including the area of Alpharetta, Georgia. Radon is a Class A carcinogen that can cause lung cancer. According to the EPA, radon is estimated to cause approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year in the U.S. and about 800 deaths per year in the state of Georgia.

How often should radon testing be done?

The EPA recommends performing a radon test every 2 years. Every type of building should be regularly inspected for radon, including homes, offices, and schools. The greatest exposure to you and your family is most likely at home where you spend a significant amount of your time.

Facts About Radon

Radon Mitigation Effectiveness

A Radon Mitigation system can reduce radon levels in your home by up to 99%.

RADON MITIGATION SYSTEM

A Radon Mitigation System is the most effective way to reduce radon levels in your home. The system is designed with a fan that draws radon from underneath the home via a suction pipe. The radon is then directed outside and above the home, where it is released.

Whether your home is on a concrete slab, basement, or a crawl space, we can design and install a radon mitigation system specific to the requirements of your home.

Radon Frequently Asked Questions

What is the safe level of radon?

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends for homes to be fixed once radon levels reach 4 pCi/L. Being that this is only a recommendation by the EPA, this should not be considered as a "Safe Level" of radon exposure. Radon is a Class A carcinogen that can cause lung cancer over a lifetime of exposure. Because everyone's body responds differently to radon exposure, in reality there is no such thing as a "Safe Level" of radon exposure.
