Radon gas is measured in pCi/L (picocurie per liter). Named after Marie Curie who got so close to her work she had to be buried in a coffin lined with lead.
If your Radon level comes back above 4.0 pCi/L, then the EPA protocol is to have a Radon mitigation system professionally installed. nThe system is a permanent solution to the problem and will continuously keep Radon levels within a safe range.
A mitigation system is commonly corrected using a method called “sub-slab depressurization” or “sub-slab suction”. It works by drilling a 6″ hole in the foundation floor (aka suction point) then inserting A PVC pipe into the hole. A suction fan is attached and the pipe is extended outside the home. The fan then draws the … Read more
