Common radon questions
What is radon?
Radon is a radioactive gas from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. You cannot see, taste or smell it.
How does radon get into a home?
It moves from the soil through cracks, drains, sump pits, joints and gaps around pipes.
What level needs a fix?
The EPA says fix at 4.0 pCi/L or more and consider fixing from 2 to 4.
How long does a radon test take?
At least 48 hours for a short-term test.
How long does an install take?
Many homes take a day, but it depends on the foundation and pipe route. We tell you after the site visit.
Will a system make my house cold?
It is not meant to. The system pulls air from the soil under the house, not from your living space.
