Radon Mitigation in Maryland
Lutherville | Owings Mills | Baltimore | Towson
Are you looking for a radon mitigation in Maryland near Baltimore, Owings Mills, Lutherville or Towson?
High levels of radon have been found in every state in the U.S. and can be dangerous to your health if high levels are discovered indoors.
Breathing in radon gas is the main concern in affecting your health, but don’t panic there is a solution.
Through a process called radon mitigation any harmful levels of radon gas can be eliminated and then sealed for prevention.
So the choice is yours in making your home safe to breathe in once again.
With over 20 years of experience in the Waterproofing protection business we offer a variety of services to the state of Maryland at ASAP Waterproofing such as radon testing, water damage restoration, sump pump repair and mold removal.
Identify The Problem
Once a series of radon tests are conducted a level of radon concentration will be established.
If you find your home or office’s radon levels to be between 2 pCi/L – 4 pCi/L or above, you should contact an expert like ASAP Waterproofing or call 1-877-857-2727.
Radon gas commonly accumulates in basements and crawl spaces of many homes. Our goal is to lower the levels of radon gas within your home to a safe level that doesn’t put you or your family at risk.
The long-term goal is to have your home be no more of a higher level of radon gas indoors then what already exists in outdoor levels; about 0.4 pCi/L normally in the air outdoors.
Radon can get into your home or business through:
1) Cracks in solid floor
2) The water supply
3) Cracks in the walls
4) Cavities inside walls
5) Gaps between service pipes
6) Gaps in suspended floors
7) Soil
Something to keep in mind is sealing cracks in your foundation can help with the reduction of radon flowing into your home and reduces the loss of conditioned air.
This can be a cost efficient route in radon reduction but is not the most effective technique since it doesn’t eliminate the radon gas already present indoors.
How Does Radon Mitigation in Maryland Work?
The most commonly effective way to reduce radon levels in a homes basement or crawlspace involves a process known as soil suction.
This process begins with covering the ground floor with dense plastic sheet. Then using a vent pipe and fan to withdraw the radon gas from under the ground beneath your home and vent it to the outdoors.
This form of soil suction is known also commonly known as sub-membrane depressurization.
Another common area where radon gas can be reduced in is the basement of homes through a process called active sub slab suction.
This is also known as subslab depressurization and involves one or more suction pipes to be inserted through the foundation floor slab.
These pipes must reach the crushed rock or soil underneath the slab in order to reach the radon source.
A radon vent fan is applied to the suction pipes to draw the radon gas from below your home and is then released to the outdoor air.
While the suction pipe draws the radon gas a negative pressure is simultaneously occurring to vacuum the gas beneath the slab.
These processes can be dangerous but when properly applied by a professional it is a very effective procedure in reducing radon levels in within a home.
How Do I Avoid Future Radon Damage?
Once testing and radon mitigation in Maryland is performed, a radon detector device can be installed in your home.
Radon detectors test the air indoors to ensure low radon concentrate levels.
These detectors can accurately provide future awareness of radon gas levels to promote the safety of the air you breathe indoors.
Detectors are highly recommended for installation since radon gas is tasteless, odorless and invisible to the naked eye.
