Radon In Air

Radon is known as an "inert" gas. It is solely driven by pressure and has absolutely no static charge, meaning that it does not stick to anything. This is why conventional methods of air filtration, even the best HEPA filtration systems, are not effective for radon removal from the air in your home. There are basically three ways to deal with radon that is entering the building from beneath a ground-level slab or basement concrete floor:(1) seal it out (2) suck it out (3) treat it after it enters the structure by means of ventilation or continuous indoor air exchange.

Conventional methods of air filtration, even the best HEPA filtration systems, are not effective for removing radon from the air in your home.

The most popular and effective method is to suck it out also known as "active sub slab depressurization." A  PVC pipe is inserted into the concrete slab in a strategic spot. The vent pipe is then routed either externally, or internally through the house if the floor plan allows. The system is powered by a fan that is specifically designed to draw out the radon gas from underneath the concrete floor in the basement and route it above the roof line of the house, where the gas can dissipate into the open air. These fans must be installed according to standard protocols to prevent radon gas from re-entering the home. The radon removal systems we install for our New Hampshire customers exceed industry standards, and guarantees an annual average indoor radon gas level to be below 4 pCi/L.
