Blue Springs

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions concerning radon mitigation Blue Springs:

• Are radon levels Higher in Blue Springs?

It is in Radon Zone 1, which means it is in a high-risk area of the country. In relation to the rest of the KC area, it is not exceptionally higher or lower than surrounding cities.

• How do I know my system is running as it should?

Upon installation of the system, there is a visual indicator placed by the main suction point. We will demonstrate to you how to double check that the fan is operating properly and recommend that you check once a month.

• What is the most cost effective and successful means of remediation?

The most cost-effective and successful method of remediation – or radon removal – is the active depressurization system (ADS). The ADS system draws air from under the slab or from under a radon polyethylene barrier (if there is no slab) and exhausts it to EPA’s standards through PVC pipe and a specially designed in-line fan.

• If my Radon levels are high, will there be an odor or any other indicator?

No. That's the tricky part about radon. It has no smell, is invisible to the naked eye and has no taste. It is considered one of the most life-threatening forms since it cannot be detected without proper testing. The Surgeon General and American Lung Association warn that radon gas has been proven the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.

• How long does a system installation take?

A fairly standard installation is anywhere from 2-4 hrs. We always clean the workspace and wear foot protection in the house to ensure it is as low-impact to your home and normal schedule as possible. Other than your discreet, expertly installed system, we want to leave the place looking like we were never there. We try to do that as efficiently as possible.
