Radon Mitigation Columbus Ohio
Columbus Ohio has a long-time radon company to call when radon gas fears are at their highest. Because radon is odorless and colorless, it’s impossible to tell if your Columbus home contains excess levels of it.
That’s why the first step of our radon remediation services is testing. Once the testing phase is completed, we are better able to advise concerned homeowners on how to proceed.
Our findings will fall into one of three ranges:

4 pCi/L or higher

Homes with radon levels in this range are considered toxic by indoor air quality experts. Columbus Ohio Radon Mitigation strongly encourages homeowners to have radon mitigation done if a level of 4 pCi/L or higher is found.

2-4 pCi/L

This range is a little trickier, as the EPA deems it “safe,” although any expert will tell you that no amount of radon is risk-free. However, outdoor air generally falls in this level, so you are in no more danger than you would be outdoors if your home’s radon level falls in this range.

0-2 pCi/L

For homes with a radon level of 2 pCi/L or lower, radon mitigation is truly at the discretion of the homeowner. To be on the safe side, we always recommend that a system is installed in case of future issues, but this range is considered acceptable by many.

Regardless of where your home’s radon gas levels fall, we will give you all the information needed to make the best choice for yourself and the ones you love.

Radon Mitigation

Usually, the highest concentration of radon is found in the basement, crawlspace or first floor – the lowest level of the home. This is due to radon’s high density. However, it can be found in high levels in any room of your home. This is scary when you consider how much time you and your loved ones spend at home.
Radon remediation is the process of removing harmful radon gas from your home. This means redirecting radon gas out of the home, regardless of where it is. The key to radon gas removal is ventilation.
The installation of a radon fan and some PVC pipes is all it takes to move radon gas from your lower levels out into the atmosphere where it can be diffused.
Columbus Ohio Radon Mitigation can have your radon mitigation done in less than 6 hours in almost every case. That’s a huge relief for anyone who knows the dangers of radon gas. Within less than a day, your home could be nearly radon free.
Radon is a naturally occurring substance, so it’s constantly being produced, not to mention that there’s no way of controlling how much radon is in the air outside your home.
We won’t guarantee that every trace amount of radon will be removed from your home, because, honestly, it’s impossible to mitigate every bit of radon within a home. However, we are always able to lower those levels to make them comparable – usually lower – than the outside air.

Radon Mitigation System

A radon system is the only way to remove radon from your home. These systems are most effective when installed by professionals who do radon mitigation system installation every single day. Installation takes just a few hours, but your system will be fully functional with little to no maintenance for years to come.

Homes that are found to have high levels of radon need a permanent system in place to regulate the air quality. The main components of a radon mitigation system are a radon fan and a fairly simple ventilation system, usually constructed from PVC pipe. The radon fan is placed in the lowest level of the structure where radon gas is known to settle due to its high density.

Columbus Ohio Radon Mitigation strongly recommends installing a radon mitigation system when you build a new home. It’s less hassle to have it done during ongoing construction, and it can sometimes save you a little money. Contrary to what you may have heard, a radon system does not lower the resale value of a home. In fact, buyers may see it as an asset!

Within commercial buildings, the remediation process is a little different. We can usually reduce indoor radon levels by-increasing the frequency of air changes throughout the day. In the case of commercial structures, we work closely with owners and building managers on a consistent basis, testing and tweaking until we’re 100% sure we have their radon issues eliminated.

Radon Mitigation Cost

Cost is always a concern when doing home improvements and adding safety features, and that’s exactly what a radon mitigation system is! Consider it an investment in the health of the people you love most!

Radon mitigation system cost isn’t something that can be quoted over the phone. However, a radon mitigation expert should be able to give you a price range based on a few details about your home, such as the layout, number of floors, and type of foundation.

For example, we can tell you that the majority of our radon system installations cost between $800 and $1500. While that’s a pretty broad range, it gives homeowners an idea of how much they’ll need to set aside for installation.

Unfortunately, radon mitigation systems are not usually covered by insurance. Therefore, you’ll most likely be covering 100% of the cost yourself.

Columbus Ohio Radon Mitigation has been assisting home and business owners with professional radon removal services for years. Not only are we a trusted name in the business, but we’re also only a phone call away!
