Radon Mitigation Cedarburg WIRadon mitigation is becoming a very common home improvement project in Cedarburg due to the radon zone Cedarburg lies in. Radon is a known carcinogen and is estimated to cause tens of thousands of deaths a year from lung cancer, but there’s no need to worry anymore! With the installation of a radon mitigation system, radon gas can be kept out of your home indefinitely. Unlike carbon monoxide which is also a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, radon doesn't have any instant health effects, although over time, it has been proven to cause lung cancer. So even if you have been in your home for a long time and are thinking that since you aren't feeling any adverse health effects that radon isn’t an issue for you, you might not notice the effects until it’s too late. Every home in Cedarburg should be tested at least one for radon, and if the home tests above 4.0pCi/L a radon mitigation system should be installed. Radon mitigation systems can drastically reduce your radon levels and keep them low for decades to come. With over 21 years of experience in radon mitigation and thousands of satisfied customers, Lifetime Radon is the most trusted radon company in the state of Wisconsin. There’s no reason to wait, radon testing and radon mitigation are painless projects that can save your life!

Radon Levels in Cedarburg WI
Ozaukee County has been determined to be a radon zone 2 by the EPA which means homes in Cedarburg are predicted to have levels between 2 and 4pCi/L with the possibility of homes to test much higher than 4. In a study done by the Wisconsin DHS from 1995-2016 they found that 54.1% of homes evaluated in Cedarburg had radon levels at or above 4.0pCi/L. There is no safe level of radon, but the EPA strongly suggests mitigation when a home tests above 4.0. The World Health Organization's action level is actually quite a bit lower than the EPA’s at 2.7 pCi/L, so it’s a good idea to consider mitigation after any test result above that. Radon levels fluctuate throughout the year, and tend to be higher in the winter time when the home is closed up. The best time to test for radon is in the winter, but it can be very beneficial to test more than once and during different seasons to get a better average. Radon is constantly coming up from the soil and when a home is in the way, it gets trapped and finds its way in through cracks, joints, sump crocks, or concrete pores. So, even if your home tests low when you first move in, there's a good chance that over the years, new cracks will form and increase the entryways for radon to get into the home.

Radon Companies Near Cedarburg WI
As with many industries there are multiple companies to choose from to install a radon mitigation system in Cedarburg. At Lifetime Radon, we never push or force anyone to use us to take care of their radon issue, but there are a few factors that we believe make us stand out above the rest. Here are some of the things to look out for when looking for the right company for your home.
Reviews: The service industry is largely a review driven business, so when a company makes a mistake or exhibits poor customer service, you can usually read about it right away on Google, Home Advisors, the BBB, etc. With radon mitigation it is imperative to choose a company with a good reputation, because there are multiple things that can go wrong if the job done by an inexperienced technician. Make sure that you are reading reviews and asking a lot of questions before making a final decision. Going cheap can be very costly when dealing with a job like radon mitigation.
Availability: Due to the lack of regulations in the state of Wisconsin there are a lot of 1 or 2 man operations. The downside of going with an ultra small company like that is their availability. We get a lot of calls from homeowners telling us that their system installed by another company is having issues, but the company they used is either no longer answering their phones, or they refuse to return to the property. Lifetime Radon has a fully dedicated office staff to take your calls, answer your emails, and set up service calls, and five technicians standing by to take care of all your mitigation needs.
Product: There are many different brands of radon fans, each with their own specifications and benefits. At Lifetime Radon we use Festa Radon Tech fans which have consistently outperformed all other radon mitigation fans in many categories. We see a much lower instance of our fans going bad within a few years after install compared to some other brands, and the warranties can’t be beat. We won’t bash any brands specifically, but most of the time, fans bought from retail stores pale in comparison to the performance and reliability of the fans most bigger mitigators use.
