FAQ's
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions concerning Radon Mitigation Prairie Village:
- Are radon levels Higher in Prairie Village?
According to research, Prairie Village is more likely to have elevated radon levels. It is in Radon Zone 1, which means it is in a high-risk area of the country. In comparison to the KC metro as a whole, it is not significantly statistically higher or lower.
- I've had a mitigation system installed, what's next?
Your home will be retested to make sure the radon levels have been effectively reduced. Your fan needs to run continually, so don't turn it off or unplug it. We recommend you check your U-tube once a month to ensure that the fan is working properly. After that, re-test every at least every 2 years to ensure safe levels.
- What are the components to the system?
- One or more small holes in the ground called suction points
- PVC pipes inserted in the holes and extended through the home and up through the attic (if interior) or along an outside wall to extend above the roofline of the house.
- A specifically designed radon fan electrically wired
- U-tube manometer attached to the piping to monitor the operation of the fan
- The exhaust pipe is open, won't rain and other debris be a problem?
Accounting for moisture is part of understanding these systems. The thing to know is that the amount of air coming out of the exhaust pipe prevents debris from making it's way into the pipe. Interestingly enough, the amount of rain water that gets into the system is very little. If water enters the system, it typically just trickles into the soil and disperses.
- You said the fan runs all the time, what kind of energy consumption are we talking about?
Pennies a day. The fans are very efficient and don't make a huge demand electrically.
