High Radon Levels Mitigated in Moorhead, MN

A Moorhead, MN, man had just learned of the dangers that radon gases pose to households. He wanted to ensure the safety of his family, so he headed to a local home improvement store to pick up a short-term radon test. After following the instructions on the package, he was alarmed to find out that the radon level in his home was 5 pCi/L. He didn't want his family to breathe in unhealthy air for longer than necessary, so he began to look for a radon mitigation company that could give him more radon gas information. Through his search, he found our website and signed up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Jackson P, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once he finished his inspection, Jackson was ready to discuss the next steps with the homeowner. Jackson informed the homeowner that he wanted to install a radon mitigation system. When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon abatement system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. Before installing a radon mitigation system, the contractor will run a radon test to determine if radon abatement is necessary. A typical radon mitigation 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. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. The homeowner agreed with Jackson's recommendations and scheduled the job for some time later. 

On the day of the project, Jackson returned to install the system. He completed the project with no complications. Now, our customer can confidently breathe fresh air circulating in his home!
