FAQ's
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions regarding radon mitigation Leavenworth:
- Are radon levels Higher in Leavenworth?
It is higher than many areas in relation to the rest of the country. It is in Radon Zone 1, which means it is in a high-risk area of the country. In relation to the rest of Kansas City metro, it is not significantly higher or lower than the rest of Kansas City statistically.
- Why does the exhaust point have to be so high?
In short, it has to be. There are codes and rules that govern where you can disperse radon from the system. It has to be above the roof line and a specific distance away from windows and openings to other buildings. If it is too low, it actually becomes detrimental as a system as it creates an environment where concentrated radon is actually forced back into the home, rendering the system more harmful than helpful.
- My house has been closed up for quite a while, is that why my radon levels are higher?
In short, no. Due to normal airflow in homes and modern HVAC systems, your house will exchange its air about every 3 hours. We also require closed home conditions in the hours leading up to testing.
- Does the U-tube on the system indicate Radon Levels?
No. It is not an indicator of radon levels, but rather airflow through the system. It should be uneven, if it is even you are not getting proper airflow. Give us a call.
- Is a mitigation appointment going to be super messy?
At the end of the day, we are drilling through concrete, which comes with some mess. However, we follow our process for each job that ensures that we leave a very clean workspace.
