Radon – Foundation Cracks

Long-term exposure to radon can cause health problems down the line, especially when it comes to the lungs. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., and it’s responsible for around 21,000 lung cancer deaths annually.

The ideal amount of radon in your home or business is none, but the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that gas levels be reduced in buildings with radon levels of 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) or higher.

A radon mitigation system is made up of components designed to draw radon gas out of the home and back outdoors. There are numerous types of radon mitigation systems available, but the majority of them use some combination of vents, pipes, and fans to get the job done.
