Breaking Down Radon

Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs when certain elements in soil, rocks, and water break down. It is colorless, odorless, and can enter through cracks and holes in the foundation beneath your home.

To mitigate the effects of radon, AprilAire Radon Control Professionals can install solutions designed to redirect harmful radon gas out and away from your home.

How and Why to Control Radon

The only way to know if you have high levels of radon in your home is by testing. While the EPA recommends annual testing if you do not have an active radon system and every other year if your home does, we always recommend testing once per year to monitor radon levels.

If high levels of radon are present, a Healthy Air Professional will install your radon solution at your home's lowest livable level. A mitigation fan will remove radon from the soil under and around your home to safe levels.

After installation, remember to set a reminder to test your home again the following year.
