Radon is a natural, airborne radioactive gas that can be extremely harmful to your health. Many people don’t know what radon gas is and are constantly living with it and breathing it in at their homes. Unfortunately, radon gas is not visible, it doesn’t have a smell or a texture, and you don’t instantly get sick and start to get signs of its presence. It develops over time and sometimes could remain unnoticed for years. Inhaling to much of this gas can cause lung cancer, resulting in death in many cases.
This is where radon services come in. You can now hire professional radon services to install radon mitigation systems, radon water systems, UV air purification systems and other types of radon mitigating systems in your home, to ensure a safe and healthy environment for yourself and your family.
What Can a Radon Service Do to Reduce Radon Levels in Your Home?
Radon services will use several methods in order to lower the radon levels in your home. Some of these techniques completely eliminate the radon gas from your home, and some of them just reduce the level of the gas over time. But their main focus is to prevent the entry of radon into your home.
Radon services can include methods such as using underground pipes and a fan, which can reduce the radon gas from entering. This is known as sub-slab depressurization. It will cover up any sealing cracks, crawl spaces and small openings in the floors and walls from where radon gas can come in.
