How is Radon Removed from a Building/Home ?
Two typical systems are used here in Colorado, which are same as used all over the world. Basically a vacuum type of system is installed to draw the bad air/gas out from the soils under the building/home. This is accomplished by covering soils in a crawl space with a special barrier and pipe under barrier to exterior with a fan. This would be called sub-membrane depressurization type.
Another is sub-slab depressurization, where an opening through the concrete floor is made with a void under the concrete and a pipe inserted/sealed then routed to the exterior with a fan drawing bad air/gas out.
Is There any Guarantee?
Yes we offer a 25-year guarantee for our system. Typically manufactures will offer a five-year warranty on their fans and we cannot extend that part of the system. Our guarantee is that the system will continue to function as designed and the Radon will be reduced to below 3.5 Pci/L. Which is a measurement used for determining how much Radon is present.
How Long Does it Take to Install ?
Usually a system can be completed within one working day.
How Can I Pay For the System ?
We accept major credit cards and will take checks or cash.
How Will I Know the Radon Level Has Been Reduced ?
EPA recommends a third party test be completed after work is done. This is usually completed after waiting 7 days, since radon has a half-life of 3.8 days. However we do provide a test for you to check our work without having to spend additional fees.
Will there be any Mess to Clean up Afterwards ?
We use floor coverings and do the entire cleanup when work is done leaving the place of work as clean or cleaner than it was when we arrived.
How Do I Go About Scheduling ?
