Locally Owned and Operated Radon Mitigation in Green Valley Ranch

If you have a new or existing home in the Green Valley Ranch area of Colorado, it is important to check and monitor your radon levels on a yearly basis. If you find that you have an elevated exposure risk to this harmful gas then we are here to offer you professional and reliable radon mitigation in Green Valley Ranch installation. 

While Colorado is one of the best places in the country to live it does have one potential downside. Its beautiful landscape, mountain ranges, and soil make the state have a higher than average amount of radon in the soil. As Green Valley Ranch continues to expand, more infrastructure will be built on land that is naturally releasing this harmful gas into the atmosphere. 

When your home is built on top of that area, the gas will seep its way into your home. Over time you can develop harmful effects from exposure like an increased risk of developing cancer and other issues. Radon is currently the second leading cause of lung cancer. 

We can help you remove radon from your property with professional radon mitigation services. As well as offering comprehensive and affordable mitigation and abatement options to keep you and your family safe.

Radon gas is in the soil all over Colorado and it is no stranger to Green Valley Ranch. Even a piece of land without any infrastructure is still potentially producing dangerous levels of radon gas. It is important to consider radon mitigation in Green Valley Ranch for new construction projects. 

When building a new home, you should be aware that the average home is going to have 6.4pCi/L of radon gas. Exposure at that level is equivalent to exposing yourself to radiation from 200 chest x-rays. When you move into an existing home, there’s a chance the previous owners have had radon mitigation and the levels are safe when you move in. However, you should still do a test to make sure the levels have not changed.

With new construction projects, you might not know how much radon gas is coming from the soil and how it could change over your lifetime. Some areas could be safe when you build and move in, but over the years more naturally occurring uranium could break down in the soil which will increase the amount of radon you will be exposed to.

Why Install Radon Mitigation Systems in New Homes? 

Here’s why installing radon systems in new homes tends to be both higher quality and more cost-effective:

• Ease of access: Before the house is complete, we have better access to the key parts of the home we need to install the system. We don’t necessarily need to cut out and patch up drywall. 
• Gravel base: We have the access we need to install a proper gravel base below the concrete for the system. Radon mitigation systems rely on proper airflow through the gravel to disperse the gas. 
• Pipe runs: We can make pipe runs shorter when we’re part of the construction process. We can also more easily hide the pipes so that they do not disturb homeowners or lower the aesthetic value of the space. 

You can make the decision to protect your home by installing a radon mitigation system right off the bat. American Radon LLC can help with many different systems and help you determine the best fit for your home.
