If your home radon test reported high radon levels, it's important to address the problem immediately. Radon Solutions, Inc. provides thorough radon mitigation services throughout western Idaho to help you keep your family safe. Call us today if you have a radon problem in your home; our professional radon contractors can help! When you choose Radon Solutions, we guarantee the radon in your house will be reduced at least to EPA safe levels!

Radon mitigation is not a one-size-fits-all process: Radon Solutions will assess your house and your particular radon problem to customize the right radon abatement system for you. No matter what the design of the system, we use only the best materials available to ensure the most thorough radon mitigation. Unlike some radon companies that use cheap, easily available products, Radon Solutions goes the extra mile to provide only superior materials because we know that these supplies are critical to the overall performance of your radon reduction system. And, don't forget, we're AARST and NEHA members, which helps us stay abreast of the latest methods and technology in radon reduction. You can trust us for the most effective, complete radon mitigation system possible!

Depending on the construction of your home, Radon Solutions can use several different methods to mitigate radon gas. Two popular methods are sub-slab depressurization for homes with basements and sub-membrane depressurization for homes with crawlspaces.

• Sub-slab depressurization: This radon mitigation process involves drilling a small hole in the floor of your basement slab and excavating a small cavity below. A pump is then attached to vacuum the radon (and other organic contaminants) out of the ground; this air is vented outside your home, where the radon harmlessly disperses into the atmosphere.

• Sub-membrane depressurization: This radon mitigation process is similar to sub-slab depressurization, but because there is no actual slab, a membrane must be installed over the entire floor surface of the crawlspace. The radon is pumped out in a similar fashion and then vented to the outside, where it dissipates and becomes harmless.

With both methods, ensuring a complete seal (with caulk, seam tape, foundation repair, etc.) enables us to address all of the radon at its point of entry. The vacuum pump used to evacuate the radon gas in both systems does require a dedicated electrical box that can be easily installed by the qualified technicians at Radon Solutions. If energy efficiency is a concern, you'll be pleased to know that eliminating the dangerous radon in your house only uses as much electricity as a 40 watt lightbulb.

Radon Solutions also offers radon mitigation for new construction; this preemptive measure is a great way to ensure that radon is never a problem in your home. We use techniques similar to standard radon mitigation, but because we are not retrofitting your home, we're able to account for aesthetics as well as energy efficiency. Instead of placing radon stacks on the outside of your home, we can actually install them internally as the building is constructed, eliminating a potential eyesore while still ensuring complete venting of any radon gas. We highly recommend radon resistant new construction for areas with known elevated levels of radon.
