Questions & Answers
Question

What is radon and where is radon found?

Answer

Radon is an invisible, odorless and tasteless gas that’s emitted from uranium deposits in the earth.  Radon gas can be found just about everywhere on the earth in various concentration levels.  Often, radon gas concentration levels are very low.  However, concentrations of radon gas can be very localized.  Enclosures, such as well-insulated homes and offices, can also increase the concentration levels of radon gas.  At higher concentration levels, radon causes cancer. Call Radon Contractors today to identify radon levels in your home or business! (813)-667-2366.

Question

If radon is everywhere, why is it a problem?

Answer

Over the past decades, the increase in energy efficiency in most buildings meant that these buildings didn’t “breath” as much as older buildings.  Just as a bad odor lingers in a closed room, radon concentrations can be increased in buildings that aren’t adequately ventilated.  Similarly, building materials and even ground water can become saturated with radon gas in areas where radon gas levels are very high. When these materials enter your home or office, they bring excessive levels of radon gas with them.  The increase in the concentration level of radon gas creates a dangerous environment.  Since people spend a significant amount of time in their homes and businesses, their exposure to these increased concentration levels of radon gas is increased.

Question

Is radon really a serious health risk?

Answer
Yes! Enviornmental Protection Agency offices at both the federal and state levels warn of the risk, as does the Surgeon General.  There are many stories and links available on the Internet that details the concern.
 
Also, you can contact your state EPA Radon office:

Michigan:  www.michigan.gov/deqradon

Question

What does it take to test for radon and how quickly will the results be available?

Answer

We can provide multiple options for testing, depending on your specific situation.

• Professional testing with specialized equipment will get results within 48 hours.  This option is appropriate for most businesses or properties involved in real estate transactions.  Child care centers are required to test as part of their licensing.  Many government-backed home loan programs, such as FMHA and HUD, require testing before approval.  The EPA recommends that all buildings involved in a real estate transactions be tested.  Landlords should test rental properties to reduce exposure for tenants.
• Do-it-yourself radon test kits are available and will provide results within 3 weeks.  This option is appropriate for most homeowners.

After initial testing, homes and businesses should retest every 2 years or whenever structural changes are made to a building (e.g. remodeling).

Call Radon Contractors today for your test kit!  (813) 667-2366.

 

Question

What can be done if a radon problem exists?

Answer

Every home and business should be tested for excessive radon levels. In many cases, radon levels are within federal guidelines for safety and no action needs to be taken.  If radon levels are excessive, appropriately designed and installed radon mitigation systems can bring radon concentrations to acceptable levels and eliminate the health risk.

Radon testing is the only way to determine your radon level.  Call Radon Contractors today for radon testing!  (813) 667-2366.

 

Question

Who can install a radon mitigation system?

Answer

You should hire a State EPA Certified radon contractor that has training and experience to do the job. We meet EPA: NEHA-NRPP; State of Michigan and Wisconsin Certification requirements, guarantee our work, and are insured.
