Radon Mitigation System

What is Radon?

Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally in the environment. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking.

How Radon Enters Your Home

Radon can enter your home through the foundation, cracks in the walls or floors, or through sump pumps.

Radon Mitigation Systems

A radon mitigation system is a device that is installed in your home to reduce the levels of radon gas.

Types of Radon Mitigation Systems

There are two types of radon mitigation systems:

  • Passive systems use natural forces to reduce radon levels.
  • Active systems use fans to draw radon gas out of the home.

Benefits of Radon Mitigation Systems

Radon mitigation systems can reduce the levels of radon gas in your home by up to 99%. This can significantly reduce your risk of developing lung cancer.

How to Choose a Radon Mitigation System

When choosing a radon mitigation system, it is important to consider the following factors:

  • The size of your home
  • The levels of radon gas in your home
  • The type of foundation your home has
  • Your budget

How to Install a Radon Mitigation System

Radon mitigation systems should be installed by a qualified professional. The installation process typically takes one to two days.

What to Do After Your Radon Mitigation System is Installed

Once your radon mitigation system is installed, it is important to have it tested regularly to ensure that it is working properly. You should also test your home for radon gas every few years to make sure that the levels remain low.

Water Damage, Moisture Monitoring Equipment

Water damage and moisture can cause serious problems for your home. Moisture monitoring equipment can help you to detect water damage early on, so that you can take steps to prevent further damage.

What Moisture Monitoring Equipment to Use

There are a variety of moisture monitoring equipment available. The most common type of moisture monitoring equipment is a moisture meter. Moisture meters measure the moisture content of materials, such as wood and drywall.

How to Use Moisture Monitoring Equipment

To use a moisture meter, simply insert the probes into the material you want to measure. The meter will then display the moisture content of the material.

Benefits of Using Moisture Monitoring Equipment

Using moisture monitoring equipment can help you to:

  • Detect water damage early on
  • Prevent further damage to your home
  • Save money on repairs
