Radon comes from the radioactive breakdown of naturally occurring radium found in soils. As a gas in the soil, it enters buildings through small openings in the foundation. Since the building can hold the radon similarly to smoke trapped under a glass, indoor radon concentrations can increase to many times that of outdoor levels. The only way to know the radon levels in your home is to test. If you have an elevated radon level hire Brookfieldacine Radon, Brookfield and Waukesha county's premier radon testing and reduction company.
When to Mitigate
High Radon Levels Can Be Reduced. EPA recommends that you take action to reduce your home’s indoor radon levels if your radon test result is 4 pCi/L or higher. It is better to correct a radon problem before placing your home on the market because then you have more time to address a radon problem. If elevated levels are found during the real estate transaction, the buyer and seller should discuss the timing and costs of radon mitigation. The cost of making repairs to reduce radon levels depends on how your home was built and other factors. Most homes can be fixed for about the same cost as other common home repairs. Brookfield Radon Mitigators will mitigate your home or building to EPA protocol, with the peace of mind in knowing you have hired the very best experienced and successful radon mitigation company in SE Wisconsin.

How to Mitigate
In Wisconsin, the best way to reduce radon is through radon mitigation. The method we most often use is called Sub-slab depressurization. It is the most commonly used method and the best way to reduce the toxic gas. Using this system, we install one or more suction pipes which are inserted through the concrete slab and are erected from their insertion into the crushed rock or soil under the slab and movement through the home and out through the roof. A radon fan then pulls the gas out of the home. Brookfield Radon Mitigators will mitigate your home or building to EPA protocol, with the peace of mind in knowing you have hired the very best experienced and successful radon mitigation company in SE Wisconsin.
