Radon is a cancer causing radioactive gas. It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. It moves into your home through cracks and other holes in the concrete slab. Nearly 1 out of 15 homes throughout the United States is estimated to have elevated levels.
You cannot see radon but it's not hard to find out if you have a radon problem. Contact us for ways to test for radon. If your home has tested over the E.P.A.'s action level of 4.0 pCi/L you should consider installing a radon reduction system.
Now we have identified which radon reduction system is right for you and your home. We use schedule 40 PVC piping (the same as plumbers use for wastelines) for sound reduction and longevity of the system. For our outside systems we use materials that can withstand the Midwest winters ie. freeze-up, condensation, etc. Also, any piping in the attic is wrapped with insulation. Pipes running through the garage firewall are wrapped with intumescent collars per fire code. We install a specially designed cap on the exhaust pipe to prevent rain from coming in and freeze-up. When we retro-fit existing houses, we take pride in making our system look clean and tight as if it were there when the house was being built! We always install a menometer (device that measures pressure) to the pipe so the homeowner can make sure that the system is working properly. Installing a radon mitigation system is highly recommended during the construction of a new home. Along with the suction pipe we install a sump crock and tile system.

"I just wanted to say a very big thank you, on an extremely well done installation. I am an engineer by trade, and tend to be slightly anal and picky in my construction projects around the house (you know the type). Upon first laying eyes on your installation in our home, my jaw dropped and all I could say was "this is nice". Everywhere I looked , one could see the level of expertise, time and care that you put forth in performing the installation of this system. My hat is off to you!! Very impressed. Even the cutout in the garage roof was cut meticulously!! Same goes for the clear plexiglass cover over the sump area. May I say it again, a very big thank you for a most impressive job!!
