FAQ's
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions concerning radon mitigation Smithville:
- Are radon levels Higher in Smithville?
It is in Radon Zone 1, which means it is in a high-risk area of the country. In compariosn to the rest of the KC area, it is not definitively higher or lower than average KC levels.
- 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.
- How does radon get into my home?
Through the soil, showers, windows, cracks, fittings, sump pump, groundwater, well water, and drains. In other words, the radon is looking for ways to expand out of the soil and will find cracks and holes to do so. We can mitigate that intrusion by sealing and installing a mitigation system.
- I've lived here many years, what's the point of testing now?
You will reduce your risk of lung cancer when you reduce radon levels, even if you’ve lived with an elevated radon level for a long time.
- Can I Fix it myself?
Unless you are well-versed in Radon Science, a Construction expert, and up to date on building codes, we would highly suggest you leave it to professionals. This is a radioactive gas. Trust professionals to handle it.
