Understanding Radon

How It Works

Radon is a naturally occurring gas that enters your home from the soil. Here's how it gets in and how we get it out.

Diagram 1

How Radon Enters Your Home

Radon gas forms naturally in soil and rock as uranium breaks down. It migrates upward through the ground and enters homes through openings in the foundation, including basement floor cracks, sump pump openings, crawl space floors, and gaps around pipes.

  • Cracks in basement floor and walls
  • Sump pump pits and openings
  • Crawl space soil
  • Gaps around utility penetrations
  • Construction joints

How Mitigation Works

Sub-slab depressurization is the most effective radon mitigation method. We create a collection point beneath your foundation, run a PVC pipe up through the home, and install a quiet fan unit that continuously draws radon from the soil and vents it safely outside, above the roofline, away from windows.

  • Collection point drilled beneath foundation
  • PVC pipe routed through conditioned space
  • Continuous fan draws radon from soil
  • Gas vented above roofline, away from windows
  • Manometer confirms system is working

Bill and Jose were very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Bill clearly explained how the Radon Mitigation System would work. They were on time and finished in the time frame that was stated. They were respectful of our house and did a wonderful job of clean up. We would highly recommend them!
