Radon Mitigation Information
What is Radon Gas?Radon Gas is naturally occurring and both colorless and odorless. This is why radon is often referred to as the silent killer. Radon gas always finds the path of least resistance and generally enters the home through cracks in the basement walls or floor, dirt or gravel crawl spaces or through drain systems or sump pump systems. However, even if your basement has none of these "least resistant" paths for radon to enter, the gas may still enter because of the chemical properties of the gas and the air pressure within the home. The air pressure within the home is generally lower than the air pressure in the soil that surrounds the foundation of the home. Therefore, because of this pressure differential, the home acts similar to a vacuum and it draws the radon gas into the home. Homes are generally sealed tightly, and these days, homes are so energy efficient that they actually trap the radon gas within the home and the radon levels begin to build up.

Why is Radon Mitigation in Kenosha important?Many areas in Wisconsin have consistently tested high for radon gas. If your home has a radon problem, Radon Mitigation is extremely important. The EPA and Surgeon General estimate that more than 20,000 people die each year from radon related lung cancer. This makes radon gas the number one cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Furthermore, more people are requesting a radon test during the home buying process than ever before. This means that if you are planning on selling your home, it may be a good idea to perform a radon test and if necessary, have an expert install a Radon Mitigation System. The radon mitigation system may not only help the value of your home, but it will also protect your health and the health of future residents and their families.
