UNFORTUNATELY, RADON IS REAL. REMEMBER BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN YOU “STUDIED” THE PERIODIC TABLE? RADON’S ATOMIC NUMBER IS 86. YOU CAN’T SEE, SMELL, OR TASTE RADON.YOUR HOME IS SITTING ON URANIUM, T 92 OR THORIUM, U 90. THESE ARE BOTH RADIOACTIVE CHEMICALS IN THE SOIL BENEATH YOUR BASEMENT.
WHAT WAS YOUR PICOCURI LEVEL? IF IT IS HIGHER THAN 4 PICOCURIS PER LITER (pCi/L) THE EPA RECOMMENDS MITIGATION. OUTSIDE AIR HAS .4 pCi/L OF RADON GAS ALL THE TIME.
BECAUSE YOUR HOUSE SUCKS!! HOMES ARE BASICALLY VACUUMS. WHEN YOUR DOORS AND WINDOWS ARE SHUT CONSISTENTLY AND YOUR AIR CONDITIONER OR HEATER IS OPERATING OR YOU HAVE CLOTHES IN THE DRYER YOU WILL BE SUCKING IN AIR FROM EVERYWHERE INCLUDING FROM UNDER THE SUBFLOOR.
FAIR WEATHER IS BEST TO TEST FOR RADON. TESTING DURING A RAIN STORM CAN ALTER THE RESULTS OF YOUR TEST. THE WATER FROM THE STORM CAN PUSH RADON GAS THROUGH THE SOIL INTO YOUR HOME.
YOU NEED A HIGH POWERED FAN TO SUCK OUT THE RADON.
MOST TIMES THE FAN CAN EASILY BE INSTALLED OUTSIDE, WITH PVC PIPE EXTENDING 10’ OFF THE GROUND OR 10’ AWAY FROM (OPENING) WINDOWS OR PAST THE ROOF LINE.
YES, I WILL SET OUT A TEST CANISTER AND COME BACK IN 2 - 3 DAYS TO SEAL AND MAIL IT TO ACCUSTAR LABS TEST FACILITY. www.accustarlabs.com
I GUARANTEE EVERY JOB THAT I DO. I WILL GET YOUR LEVEL BELOW 4 pCi/L. IF A RETEST COMES BACK TOO HIGH, I WILL TRY A LARGER FAN OR INSTALL MULTIPLE ENTRY POINTS IN YOUR SUBFLOOR/CRAWL SPACE.
DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT. WATER WILL NATURALLY CONDENSE INSIDE THE PIPE DUE TO THE COLDNESS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE PIPE IN THE WINTER TIME. THE FAN ALLOWS THE WATER TO PASS THROUGH TO THE GROUND.
