About Radon and Radon Solutions NW
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. Not only that, it is inert, colorless, and odorless, making it difficult to detect without proper testing. Unfortunately, our area has some of the highest radon levels in the country. Even more concerning, a small percentage of homes fall within a range that the EPA deems unsafe. These risks are based on long-term exposure, which is why proactive mitigation is so important.
At Radon Solutions NW, we provide the ultimate solution to your radon problem. With years of experience installing radon mitigation systems, we can quickly and efficiently reduce the risk of lung cancer for you and your family. As a result, once the system is installed, you’ll be able to enjoy your home with peace of mind, knowing that you are protected.
Testing Process
As a first step in protecting your home, Radon Solutions NW offers a FREE AIR CHEK Radon Kit to all our customers. This reliable test kit has sold over 4 million units, making it a trusted choice for homeowners. Even better, there are no hidden lab or mailer fees, so you can test your home without extra costs.
The kit works by using granular activated charcoal to absorb radon gas from the surrounding air. After testing for 3 to 7 days, simply send the kit back in the pre-paid mailer for lab analysis. The EPA recommends taking action if radon levels reach 4 PCI/L or higher. If this is the case for your home, we will provide you with a FREE ESTIMATE for radon mitigation.
We proudly serve North Idaho and Eastern Washington and are ready to help you take control of your home’s air quality.
Mitigate Radon with Radon Solutions NW
Once Radon Solutions NW installs your guaranteed radon mitigation system, you’ll see immediate results. In most cases, radon levels drop below 4 PCI/L within the first week after mitigation. In fact, you’ll start noticing results within just 48 hours!
Our specialized radon mitigation system is designed to meet all EPA guidelines. After installation, the system will continue to operate for the lifetime of your home, with the exception of the fan. Fortunately, the fan comes with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty and often lasts more than 15 years. Best of all, there’s no additional maintenance required, giving you one less thing to worry about.
Mitigation Process Utilizing Crawlspace
If your home has a crawlspace (or concrete foundations like basements and slab-on-grade), Radon Solutions NW will install a sub-membrane depressurization system to effectively reduce radon levels.
Here’s how it works:
First, we begin by laying a 4″ perforated pipe into the crawlspace, ensuring that each footing is properly breached.
Then, we cover the entire area with a 6-mil plastic vapor barrier, carefully caulking along the foundation and footings to create a tight seal.
Finally, we install the necessary components to efficiently vent radon gas out of your home.
With this system in place, you can trust that your home’s air quality will be significantly improved.
Mitigation Process Utilizing Slab
If your home sits on a slab, Radon Solutions NW will install a sub-slab depressurization system, ensuring an effective and long-term solution for radon reduction.
Here’s how we do it:
We start by core-drilling a 5″ perforated pipe into the lowest part of the slab.
Next, we excavate the soil until diagnostic testing confirms that we’ve established proper communication under the slab.
For the best performance and easier access, we prefer placing sump locations in mechanical or unfinished areas of the home.
This method ensures that radon gas is safely and efficiently removed from beneath your home.
Routing Radon Gas
At Radon Solutions NW, we always prioritize the least intrusive route for the suction pipe through your home. Our goal is to maintain both aesthetics and functionality while effectively mitigating radon.
Typically, we use a black pipe routed through the roof, blending it seamlessly with other exhaust pipes.
If we route the system through your garage, we will install fire collars to maintain the integrity and fire-resistant rating of the area.
With our expert installation, you can trust that your radon mitigation system will be both effective and discreet.
