There are certain types of cleaning and maintenance services that every commercial, public or private building needs in order to keep it functioning. But far too many companies and commercial landlords still forget about removing harmful radon gas from their buildings. Thankfully, trustworthy radon mitigation services can provide this for a reasonable price and keep all buildings safe.
1. Healthy Working Space
It is the responsibility of every building owner to ensure it is safe for people to work in. Radon gas is invisible, and its effects can’t be physically seen, but exposure to too much can drastically increase the risk of lung cancer. The EPA suggests that any building that measures a reading over four pCi/L requires maintenance to reduce radon levels, as the risk of contracting lung cancer becomes five times greater than dying in a car crash.
2. Investment Costs
The cost of testing and removing radon from a building and setting up a mitigation system will vary depending on these factors:
• Building size
• Background radiation levels
• Amount of radon in the soil and water
• Size of crawl spaces and attics
• Age of the building
• State of the basement
