FAQ's
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions concerning radon mitigation Platte City:
- Are radon levels Higher in Platte City?
It is in Radon Zone 1, which means it is in a high-risk area of the country. That does not mean, however, that it is particularly lower or higher than the rest of the KC Metro area.
- Do you really need to seal my sump pit?
If you really want your system to work well...yes. We are seeking to create a vacuum underneath the house and a gaping hole in the floor goes a long way to impede that goal. We do our best to seal as neatly as possible and keep the area clean.
- What’s a High Radon Level?
The EPA recommended action level is 4pCi/L, so anything above this we would consider high. We have seen astronomically higher numbers than 4.
- How accurate are tests, really?
As with any testing or measurement process, variability in precision and accuracy is accounted for. Our use of Continuous Radon Monitors provides hour-by-hour monitoring and trustworthy results.
- Do I have to have the fan in a specific place?
We can do interior systems and exterior systems based on the homeowner's request. There are certain standards for the system to actually be effective, like how far they are away from a window, roof clearing, etc. We do our best to place systems in a spot that is discreet and doesn't take away from the aesthetic of the home. We will work with you to determine the ideal spot. The fan cannot be installed in the home unless it is in an uninhabited attic.
