How We Reduce the Radon Levels in your Home
At Goodbye Radon, we use proven mitigation techniques to lower radon levels and keep your home safe. The most effective method is Active Soil Depressurization (ASD) — a system that uses a fan and vent pipe to draw radon gas from beneath your home’s foundation and release it safely outdoors. This prevents radon from entering your living space and provides long-term protection.
Our team also seals foundation cracks and verifies results with follow-up testing to ensure your radon levels stay well below EPA guidelines. Goodbye Radon — creating safer, healthier homes for you and your family.
Testing for radon should be done in any home or building, especially when buying or selling property, since radon is a colorless and odorless gas that can pose serious health risks if present in high levels. The ideal times to test for radon include during real estate transactions, after making significant renovations to a house, or when a home has been unoccupied for an extended period. Additionally, homeowners should consider testing every 5 years.
Mitigation Mehtods We Offer
There are a number of methods of mitigation, here are just a few of the methods we offer!
Sub-Slab Depressurization
It works by installing a vent pipe and fan system that creates a slight vacuum beneath the concrete slab, drawing soil gases away before they enter the structure. The collected gases are then safely vented above the roofline into the outdoor air.
Drain Tile Depressurization
A fan creates negative pressure within the drain tile network, pulling radon or vapors away from the foundation before they can enter the building. The gases are then vented safely outside above the roofline.
Sub-Membrane Depressurization
Used in crawl spaces or areas with exposed soil to control radon or vapor intrusion. A durable plastic membrane is placed over the soil and sealed to the walls, creating an airtight barrier. A vent pipe and fan draw gases from beneath the membrane and discharge them safely above the roofline.
