Radon Mitigation System

Radon is a radioactive gas that is both odorless and invisible. It occurs naturally from the decay of uranium found in soil, rock, and water. When radon accumulates indoors, it can pose significant health risks, including lung cancer. Health Canada recommends that action be taken to reduce radon levels in homes that exceed 200 becquerels per cubic meter (Bq/m³).

At Alder Creek Radon Gas Pros, we specialize in radon mitigation services for residents in Kitchener, Ontario, and the surrounding areas. Our goal is to ensure that your indoor environment is safe and healthy.

Understanding Radon and Its Risks

Radon gas is produced from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It can seep into homes through cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, and other openings. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels increases the risk of developing lung cancer. In fact, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.

Radon Testing: The First Step

The only way to know if your home has elevated radon levels is through testing. We offer both short-term and long-term radon testing services. Short-term tests provide quick results, while long-term tests offer a more accurate assessment of your home’s average radon levels. Our certified professionals use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure precise measurements.

Radon Mitigation Solutions

If testing reveals radon levels above the recommended threshold, it’s crucial to take action. Our team designs and installs effective radon mitigation systems tailored to your home’s specific needs. The most common method is Active Soil Depressurization (ASD), which involves:

• Sub-Slab Depressurization: A pipe is inserted through the basement floor slab into the soil beneath. A fan then draws radon-laden air from beneath the house and vents it outside, preventing it from entering your living space.
  
  
• Sealing Entry Routes: We identify and seal cracks, sump pits, and other openings in your foundation to reduce radon entry points.

• Crawl Space Solutions: For homes with crawl spaces, we install high-density membranes over exposed soil and employ ventilation techniques to minimize radon intrusion.
