There’s a guy that we do foundations for and he always installs radon gas piping underneath the foundation when he makes his houses and I asked him why he says “well here in Alaska randomly from time to time places will just start leaking out radon gas and if you have this piping installed already then it’s no big deal the house is perfectly livable. You can just extract the radon gas out as it comes up from the earth, if you don’t have radon installed when you build the house, it’s kind of a big deal and sometimes it can make a house totally condemned” So someday when I have my house built or build it myself, it’s gonna have radon piping

@AmericanRadonMitigation
@AmericanRadonMitigation 3 сағат бұрын
I would mitigate anything above 2.0 pCi/L. However, if I had kids or my wife worked in the basement, I would install a mitigation system even if the radon level was below 2.0 pCi/L. A radon mitigation system also has other benefits, such as stopping soil gas entry, which can contain VOCs, reducing humidity, and eliminating that musty basement smell. It's also important to note that I have the "I'll be alright" mindset regarding my health. Everyone's risk tolerance is going to be different. You can certainly get your radon levels lower if they make you uneasy. Our customers average 0.5 pCi/L after mitigation.

Good question! Radon comes from the decay of uranium in the rock and soil below your home. Then, your house draws it in through a process called the stack effect. Since your home creates natural suction on the soil, a radon mitigation system works to stop that suction and draw those gases below into the radon system.

Since I'm a total radon nerd, I set up a radon monitor. The radon level was around 2.0 pCi/L until I turned on the shower, which spiked it to 38.0!
