Radon Mitigation MarshfieldRadon is a dangerous gas that can cause lung cancer when exposed over a long period of time. It builds up from under your home and makes its way into your living space through the difference in air pressure from inside and outside your home. Radon gas breaks down into fine particles that are radioactive. It is colorless and odorless, making it impossible to detect without a proper test being done to determine the radon levels in your home.
If your home is tested and dangerous levels of radon are found, a radon mitigation system is recommended to bring the levels down to a safe, livable level. The first step is to make sure all cracks and holes in the basement are sealed to prevent radon gases from entering your living space. The next step is to install a radon mitigation system that will draw the air from under your basement floor up through PVC piping, venting above your roof. This system works with a fan to create the suction needed to draw the radon through the PVC piping, safely exiting into the outside air. Wisconsin is widely affected by radon.

Radon Testing Marshfield WIHomes in Marshfield WI throughout Wood County and Marathon County tend to have higher levels of radon. A study done by the Wisconsin DHS from 1995-2016 showed that 42.5% of homes evaluated in Marshfield had radon levels at or above 4.0pCi/L. Therefore, it is highly recommended that homes in Marshfield have a radon test done to determine if a radon mitigation system is needed.

There are a few types of tests we provide. We can come out to your house with a digital test that we setup in your basement and come back a few days later to collect the results. If you prefer to do the test on your own we offer a $25 charcoal test kit that takes 3-5 days to complete. You then ship the test to our lab for final analysis. This process takes 7-10 days to get the results back. While being the most cost effective test we offer, we don’t recommend the charcoal test if you are in the process of closing on the sale of your home.
We also have a long-term radon test that needs a minimum of 90 days to complete. We recommend this test be done during the winter. This is a good option for homeowners who are not in the process of selling their home.

Radon Mitigation Installation in Marshfield
If you’ve received your test results and the radon levels come back higher than 4.0 pCi/L, it is strongly recommended by the EPA to install a radon mitigation system. A radon mitigation systems purpose is to lower the radon levels in your home and keep them at a safe level. Most, if not all homes in Marshfield have some level of radon. The EPA has stated that no level of radon is safe to live in for a long period of time. Being in the radon mitigation field for over 20 years, we have helped thousands of homeowners lower the levels of radon in their home to a safe level. Our mitigation systems are all custom built to fit the style of your home. Give us a call for a free estimate!
Sub-slab Depressurization
This is the most common method of radon mitigation. By reducing the air pressure under the slab of the home the system utilizes a fan to create negative pressure drawing air from below the slab through the piping and is vented above the roof. We seal all cracks in basement wall and floor. We also seal down the sump crock with a see-through cap. Known to follow the path of least resistance, the radon is drawn through the piping and does not leak into the living space of your home.
Block Wall Depressurization
Another way we mitigate radon in Marshfield is block wall depressurization. This process uses a pipe inserted into the block cavity and is then attached to the piping system connected to a fan that draws the radon out of your home. This method is recommended for homes with a block wall basement and high levels of radon. By depressurizing the space within the concrete block, the radon is vented through the piping system. We use this method along with sub slab depressurization.
Crawl Space Depressurization
It is necessary in homes that have a gravel or dirt crawl space to seal down the space as this is one of the largest entry ways for radon to enter your living area. These system can become costly as the amount of materials and labor increase. Although the benefits of sealing the crawl space go beyond radon mitigation. With this method we use polycarbonate sheeting, placing it over the ground of the crawl space and sealing it to the foundation walls. By connecting the piping to the sheeting the fan then pulls the radon gas from under the sheet and is vented two feet above the roofline.
