In Need of Radon Mitigation in Highlands Ranch? Your Search Ends Here.
Though many people are unaware of it, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, preceded only by cigarette smoking. Luckily for you and your family, our professionals at American Radon have all the tools and knowledge required to check your home for hazardous radon levels. Even if your home has already been tested, we recommend testing your home every other year in order to ensure that radon levels have not increased. While anything below 4.0 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) is considered safe, a home that received a rating of 2.5 pCi/L one year could receive a 3.6 pCi/L the following year and 5.3 pCi/L a few years after that. Because the levels of radon are always in flux, it is safest to continue regular testing of your home (plus it helps to have these records on hand when you put your home on the market).
Why You Need Us to Check Your Radon Levels
At American Radon, one of our top priorities is to make radon mitigation available to all residents of the state of Colorado. Not only that, but we want to make sure that you are your loved ones feel protected and free of dangers in your own home. Radon is a dangerous radioactive byproduct of uranium and thorium that is radioactive, tasteless, colorless, and odorless, meaning you cannot tell if it’s in your home unless you test for it. Do the right thing and call us today so we can test your home or commercial building for radon levels that pose life-threatening risks.
Reliable New Construction Radon Systems
Even new homes can be exposed to high levels of radon. And even if they do not have high levels at the time of construction overtime that can change. As your foundation settles and time goes on, radon can start to seep into your building.
The best time to plan for this potential outcome is during the initial new construction phase. It is the easiest time install a system that can be activated later if needed to keep your home safe from the dangers of radon.
What do you need to do as a developer to ensure you mitigate radon in the new homes that you’re constructing? There are several steps that you need to complete:
- Aggregate: Beneath the slab floor, you need to install an even layer of gravel or other aggregate.
- Sheeting: The layer of gravel needs to have a polyethylene sheeting on top.
- Vent pipe: Air tight plastic venting should run through the gravel out through the roof.
- Sealing: All cracks in the foundation need to be sealed to maintain the efficacy of the system.
- Sump pump: If your homes will include a sump pump then they need an airtight lid or they may allow radon into the home.
American Radon can aid you in the planning and installation of the radon mitigation systems in your home.
