Radon Mitigation in Chisago City, MN

Wednesday, March 20th, 2019 by Madison Rudesill

Challenge

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is tasteless and odorless. Radon easily goes unnoticed because of this, but it is very important to have your home tested for radon to protect you and your family's health. Kathy S. in Chisago City, MN had her home tested for radon gas and found that they had been living with high levels of radon for quite some time. She was eager to find a solution because she knew that radon is the #2 leading cause of lung cancer and over 20,000 people die from this each year.

Solution

We were able to successfully mitigate the high levels of radon that were occurring in Kathy's home by installing our radon mitigation system. We drilled a small hole through her basement floor to create a suction point. Then, we installed PVC piping through her home, which exits through the roof. The gas is pushed by a fan through the pipe and expelled from the home. Kathy is glad they took action to protect their health.
