Radon levels in your house could be a threat to you and your family’s health. Radon is not detectable by sight, smell, or taste. But it may be a serious problem in your home. It can take years before symptoms of the toxicity show up.

In the meantime, here is some information on radon including what it is, potential health risks of exposure, and how our team can protect your family and ensure your home is safe from radon toxicity.

What is Radon?

Radon is a dangerous gas found in the earth. It’s odorless and colorless, so you can’t detect it on your own. Radon has been linked to lung cancer, skin cancer, leukemia, and other diseases. It can seep into your home through cracks in floors, foundations and walls or even through air vents if there’s an opening created by a faulty roof shingle or pipe leak leading to the outside.

Dangers of Radon

The dangers of radon gas are well-known. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that it is responsible for 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States. But what does this mean for you?

Radon exists all over the world and comes from certain types of rocks. As radon moves through the ground, it can dissolve in water within the soil and become part of that water’s flow into your home.

It can seep into basements and other areas where it can accumulate in high levels, which threatens health. Homes built on top of porous bedrock are at greater risk for having high levels of radon than those which aren’t. In areas where groundwater is present, such as basements or crawl spaces, you need to be especially careful about getting a radon test done. This means that if you live in North Dakota, there is a chance you may be breathing radon without even knowing it!

Radon testing is affordable and crucial for homeowners who want to protect themselves from this insidious gas. Schedule your radon test today with FM Services. Testing radon levels in your home will give you peace of mind that there’s nothing lurking beneath the floorboards or behind the walls. If something does turn up, our team can take care of it and make sure your family is safe at home.

Radon Testing and Mitigation

If you are concerned about radon levels in your home, there are several steps that you should take to mitigate its effects. The first step is to test for radon gas through a trusted and licensed testing service, such as FM Services. Our radiation specialist will perform tests to determine whether radon gas levels present a health risk in your home or office building, which usually takes about two weeks from start to finish.
If your home fails the radon test and radon levels detected pose a potential health risk, we will immediately begin the radon mitigation process. Radon mitigation is a comprehensive solution that can help ensure your home maintains radon levels that are safe for you and your family. This method involves drilling holes in the basement floor and connecting pipes to vents on the roof or chimney, which then lead outside. You also need to install an active soil depressurization system (ASDS), which sends pressurized air from the house through a pipe into the ground where it meets radon gas before it enters your home. The goal of radon mitigation is typically to lower radon levels to below 4 pCi/L after installation. We will do a follow up check just to make sure everything is working the way it should. We do what needs to be done to keep your family safe from the health risks of radon exposure.
