​Radon Mitigation Glendale WI

High radon levels in your home is not an easy thing to accept.  You may have been living in the house for years and are just now finding out about this dangerous gas and you may be worried about your health. Or you may be thinking, well I have been here for a while and nothing has gone wrong so it must not be a big issue. In either case, we want you to know that radon testing and mitigation is truly worth it. Studies have shown that radon can cause lung cancer if you are exposed to elevated levels over a long period of time. In Glendale, over 30% of homes are predicted to have high radon levels according to data taken from the Wisconsin DHS. Radon is a noble gas, so you wouldn't know it’s present without proper testing. That means there’s a decent chance that you could be spending a lot of time in elevated radon levels without knowing. Even if you do not spend a lot of time in your basement, you should still have your home tested, elevated radon levels can build up to the point where the first level of the home can be affected as well. Lifetime Radon has been serving Glendale and all of Milwaukee County for over two decades specializing in radon testing and radon mitigation. If you have been thinking about getting your home tested or mitigated but haven’t pulled the trigger yet, or if this is the first time you’ve heard about the dangers of radon, don’t wait, now is the time to free yourself of this cancer risk. Call us today to set up a radon test or to get a free quote on radon mitigation for your Glendale home.

How does radon testing work?

​Well there are a few different ways to test for radon, and each have their own methods of detection:

Submit
Charcoal Kits: Charcoal testing is probably the most common radon testing option in the US. These kits are set up by the homeowner and once opened they collect radon for 3-7 days. After the kit arrives at the lab, a sodium iodine counter is used to count the radioactive particles coming off of the charcoal. The lab then uses the data and generates an average of the radon levels for the period of time the test was exposed at.

Alpha Track: The Alpha Track long term test that we offer can be exposed for up to a full year to give you a long average. The way it works is, the canister has a plastic film that gets struck by the alpha particles. After arriving in the lab, the canister is treated with special chemicals to show the amount of times the film was struck and they can generate the radon average from that.

Digital Monitoring: The digital monitor test that we offer is the Corentium Pro. Unlike the previous two test options that we offer, this test actively tracks the radon levels in the home with the use of its specialized technology. This device can not only give you the average levels, but can also show you an hour by hour reading.

All of these radon testing options are available to you in Glendale. To find out more about each test, and to determine which radon testing option is the best for your home, give us a call!

Radon Abatement Glendale WI

Radon removal can go by a lot of names including radon abatement, radon mitigation, and radon remedy. However the processes are the same no matter what you call it. The process for each home is determined by a few different factors. The largest factors are whether or not the home has a sump crock with drain tile or not, and whether or not the home has a dirt or gravel crawlspace. When the home has a sump crock with drain tile, which is common in homes built after the 60’s the radon mitigation piping will either run directly out of the sump crock, or out of the drain tile by coring a hole in the floor. Once the radon fan is running, air is pulled from the drain tile system which is located underneath the home and runs throughout the basement. This will create a negative pressure underneath the slab to draw the radon gas into the piping to be vented above the roofline safely. So the system pulls the radon out from the soil before it ever can get in. Using the drain tile is the most effective way to mitigate radon because of how much surface area the drain tile covers, it allows us to get maximum air flow from underneath the home. However, if the home does not have a sump crock or drain tile, it still is possible to mitigate the radon from the home. This process is called sub slab depressurization or SSD. Sub slab depressurization is done by coring a hole into the basement floor and then digging out 4-6 gallons worth of material to create a pit. Once the pipe and fan are sealed to the floor over that suction pit, negative pressure will be created that way to draw the radon into that pit and out. This process works for most homes, but in extraordinarily large properties sometimes two collection points are needed to get the entire basement mitigated. In either case, after the pipe is run from the floor it can be vented on the exterior or through the garage in accordance with standards set by the EPA. Garage systems include the piping and fan running mostly through the garage with only a vent stack on the roof being visible from the exterior of the home. Exterior style systems have the piping and fan running up an exterior wall on the back or sides of the property. To find out what style of system would be best for your home in Glendale give us a call for a free estimate!
