What Is Radon?

Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. It is an inert, colorless, odorless gas, one in a chain of natural by-products of uranium decay.

Step-By-Step Radon Mitigation Guide

Our custom radon mitigation services are effective and will ensure a safe home for you and your family. Scroll through the tabs to learn about how our service works.

Testing

A short-term radon test is conducted by Wisconsin Radon & Environmental, Homeowner, or a Home Inspector. Tests are typically conducted with Electronic, Continuous Radon Monitors. These devices are left in the basement for 2 days (Minimum) and log the radon levels over that period. If test results are above 4 pCi/L, Radon Mitigation is recommended.

Wisconsin Radon & Environmental also offers Advanced Radon Hot-Spot Locating. Deploying Multiple testing units in different areas of the home to better determine radon mitigation approach, potentially eliminating unnecessary cost . This can be advantageous if there are multiple radon-entrance locations: Crawl-Space, Sump-Basin, and Slab-On Grade.

Sealing

Radon entrance points are sealed. Primary Radon Entrance points are: The Sump Basin, Major Cracks, and Crawl-Spaces. If existing sump pump is a “Pedestal Style” Sump-Pump, it will need to be replaced with a new “Submersible Style” Sump Pump. This is to ensure a safe seal on the sump basin.

The Sump Basin can be sealed with a simple silicone sealant or can be “Mechanically Sealed” with gasket and bolts/screws for a more secure and professional look.

Diagnostic

Radon Mitigation is all about sub-slab air movement or “Pressure Field Extension”. The more of the sub-slab we can depressurize, the more effective the radon mitigation system will be. Advanced Diagnostics are done to appropriately size radon fan and determine suction-pipe location(s) for proper Radon Mitigation System Design. Diagnostics can be done with a Pitot-Tube and a Vacuum for advanced design or with the desired radon fan itself. This is particularly important when there is no drain-tile on older homes and we are moving air through the soil. The tighter the soil, the bigger the radon fan.

Suction

After the slab is sealed and the appropriate fan and piping is chosen, the Radon Fan is wired up and turned on. This begins the Radon Collection/Suction process.

The Radon Fan is the only part of the Radon Mitigation System with moving parts and the most important part of the system.

Venting

Radon Exhaust needs to be vented to the exterior of the home. The exhaust point needs to be 2’ above or 10’ away from any window or entrance to the home. Venting can be done on the exterior or through an attached garage. PVC is recommended but “Matching” Gutter-Downspout is acceptable.
