FAQ's
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions regarding radon mitigation Olathe:
- Are radon levels Higher in Olathe?
In reference to the rest of the U.S., it is considered as high. It is in Radon Zone 1, a higher risk area of the United States. Concerning the rest of the KC area, in comparison it is not noticeably higher or lower.
- Does the Radon Fan run all the time?
Yes. Radon doesn't rest in trying to get into your house, so the fan continues to run as it creates airflow to keep pushing radon out of the house through the mitigation system. The fans, when running correctly, are very quiet and efficient. The expected life span of the fan is 10 years with proper use.
- When will I get my test results?
Upon retrieval of the testing device, hourly readings are included in a detailed radon report specific to the structure tested. For homeowners, we present the results of the test at the point of device retrieval. In other scenarios, we send to the responsible party that paid for and requested the test.
- How long are the tests?
Radon testing requires a minimum 48-hour test period with 12 hours of "closed-house conditions" prior to conducting the test. The continuous radon monitor (CRM) will take hourly readings for the duration of the test.
- Why is Radon Dangerous?
Radon is radioactive. Outdoors, there is little danger because radon is diluted in the open air. But indoors, radon is trapped and becomes concentrated in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.
