Passive to Active Mitigation Request
Request your System Activation!
If your home was built after 2009, you likely have a Passive Radon Mitigation system already installed in your home. This means that the plumbing and electrical components have already been installed and are ready to be activated. Our team can activate the system by installing the remaining components which include a fan, a manometer, the required MN Department of Health license tag, and an air flow alarm. By adding these components your system will be able to draw radon from underneath the foundation of your home and expel it above your roofline, thereby reducing the levels in your home to safe levels. Our service also includes a complimentary follow up radon test by a licensed radon technician to ensure that safe levels have been achieved.
Note: You must be the current homeowner and not currently engaged in a real estate transaction for the property to receive this discount.
What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is a byproduct of uranium and radium breaking down in the earth’s soil. As uranium and radium decay, they release the gas known as Radon into the earth’s atmosphere. Since Radon is a radioactive gas, it poses health concerns to humans when we are exposed to concentrated levels. As Radon enters the body it decays into heavy radioactive metals that break down and permanently damage cell tissue.
Long term exposure to concentrated levels of Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, and the second leading cause of lung cancer in smokers.
PicoCuries per liter is the unit of measurement for Radon gas and the average estimated outdoor levels are around 0.4 pCi/L. The average estimated indoor levels of homes in the US is 1.3 pCi/L. The In Minnesota, 2 in 5 homes have high levels of Radon where mitigation is recommended.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends having your home mitigated if indoor Radon levels are 4.0 pCi/L or higher. Mitigation should be considered when levels are between 2.0 – 4.0 pCi/L.
