Is Radon Getting To YOU?

Radon gas is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is produced by the decay of uranium and radium in soil, rock, and water under your home. Because it is a gas, it can easily seep into buildings through cracks and openings in the foundation and walls. It can also be present in well water and can be released into the air when the water is used for activities such as showering or doing laundry. Once inside your home, it can accumulate in enclosed spaces, such as basements, where it can reach dangerous levels if not properly mitigated. It's important for homeowners to test and take steps to reduce its levels if necessary to protect the health of your family. For less than the cost of having a mobile detailing service come wash your car in your driveway, we can come test your home and make sure it's safe for everybody.

Radon Is Invisible, Not Harmless 

Mitigation is a process of reducing gas levels in buildings. Radon is a radioactive gas that is naturally present in the environment. It is a byproduct of the decay of uranium and radium, which are commonly found in soil and rocks. It can seep into buildings through cracks in the foundation, gaps around pipes, or other openings in the building's structure. Once inside, it can build up to dangerous levels, potentially causing lung cancer.


It is also a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, which makes it difficult to detect without specialized equipment. Exposure to high levels of this gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, after smoking. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), this gas is responsible for approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths in the United States each year.


The first step is to test for the presence of this gas. Test kits are available for purchase online or at home improvement stores. These kits are easy to use and can provide results within a few days.


If high levels of this gas are detected, the next step is to call Littleton Radon Mitigation. We design and install systems that are specific to your building's needs. A mitigating system for this gas is typically consists of a ventilation system that draws gas out of the building and releases it into the outdoor air.

The most common type of system we use is a sub-slab depressurization (SSD) system. This system involves creating suction beneath your building's foundation by installing a pipe or pipes that run from the foundation to the roof. A fan is installed on the pipe to create negative pressure under the building, which draws gas out of the soil and prevents it from entering the building.


​Another type is a passive system. This system uses natural ventilation to draw gas out of the building. Passive systems are typically less effective than active systems, but they can be used in some situations where gas levels are relatively low. They're cheaper, too.


These systems should be installed by a professional contractor who is trained and certified in mitigating. Littleton Radon Mitigation has the knowledge and expertise to design and install a system that is effective and safe. Be careful: A poorly designed or installed system can actually increase gas levels in the building, which can be dangerous.


In addition to installing a system, there are other steps that can be taken to reduce gas levels in a building. We look for opportunities where sealing cracks and gaps in the building's foundation would be effective in increasing ventilation. This includes sealing around pipes and other openings in the building's structure.

The cost can vary depending on the size and complexity of the building, as well as the type of system that is installed. In general, mitigating systems can cost anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Compare that to the cost of medical and health costs will certainly be much higher. And it's not just the people in your home who are affected.
