What is Radon, and Why Is It Dangerous?
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that can seep into homes from the surrounding soil. It’s the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, making it a serious health concern for homeowners (National Cancer Institute). At Pure Air Solutions, we specialize in comprehensive radon testing and mitigation solutions in Montana to improve your family’s safety and peace of mind.
According to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), approximately half of the homes tested for radon in Montana have levels at or above the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) action level. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels can increase your risk of developing lung cancer. That’s why it’s crucial to have your home tested and, if necessary, implement effective radon mitigation strategies.
Our Radon Mitigation Process
Pure Air Solutions employs state-of-the-art radon testing and mitigation techniques, including crawl space encapsulation and sub-slab depressurization. These methods effectively prevent radon from entering your living spaces and safely vent it out into the atmosphere.
Our team follows EPA guidelines to ensure thorough testing and reliable mitigation results. We don’t just treat symptoms; we address the root cause of radon intrusion to provide long-lasting protection for your home and family.
Most radon testing and mitigation projects follow these basic steps:
- Comprehensive Radon Testing
- We use advanced, EPA-approved equipment to test radon levels in your home. Results are provided quickly, so you can make informed decisions.
- Customized Mitigation Plan
- Every home is different. Our experts design a radon mitigation system tailored to your home’s construction, foundation type, and radon levels. We focus on long-term effectiveness and minimal disruption to your living space.
- Installation of a Radon Reduction System
- Sub-Slab Depressurization (SSD): The most common and effective method, involving the installation of pipes and a fan to redirect radon gas from beneath your home to the outside.
- Crawl Space Encapsulation: For homes with crawl spaces, we seal the area with a vapor barrier and install venting systems to reduce radon levels.
- Advanced Sealing: We identify and seal cracks in the foundation to limit radon entry.
- Post-Mitigation Testing
- After installation, we conduct follow-up testing to confirm the radon levels are reduced to safe levels.
