Most house and building owners in Warner NH feel relatively safe in their homes. Generally, air pollution is not a problem in Merrimack County, New Hampshire. However, radon gas is a significant problem in our community and is the single greatest health threat to Warner NH families. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that results from the breakdown of radioactive uranium, thorium and radium. While outdoors, the average person will not come into contact with dangerous levels of radon gas. However, indoor environments are a different story. Radon levels can accumulate to hazardous concentrations. Radon is commonly detected in random air samples and is generally harmless when encountered outdoors. However, radon that rises into a structure from the soil or rock beneath the basement, crawl space, or foundation slab may become concentrated indoors and reach dangerously high levels. When this occurs, it can cause health issues, even lung cancer, in individuals who regularly occupy the structure.
Radium, thorium and uranium are naturally occurring elements that are commonly found in soil, bedrock and groundwater sources across the United States, including here in Warner NH. The widespread prevalence of these substances means that radon gas is an issue faced by many home and commercial property owners. As the radium in these rocks decay, radon gas is released and rises to the surface of the earth, permeating through the voids and pours of soil and stone.

Radon Testing & Mitigation in Warner NH Homes
Radon testing is of utmost importance to ensure the safety of your home and your loved ones. Every home should be tested for radon exposure, as elevated levels can pose serious health risks. Take action today and learn more about the importance of radon testing by visiting the CDC’s website.
Without testing, most Warner property owners aren’t aware of the presence of radon gas until someone who lives in their household or works in their business develops serious health problems. Short-term tests for radon are conducted over a period of two to seven days while long-term tests measure the levels of radon for 90 days or longer. Information gathered from both types of tests is valuable in determining the extent of the gas’s potential impact on the property and its inhabitants. These tests are available in home improvement “big box” stores, such as Lowe’s and Home Depot, and in some Warner NH hardware stores. When radon levels are 4 pCi/L or higher, radon mitigation is recommended.
Tests are conducted by placing a small canister, cardboard strip, or digital measurement device in the lowest level of the structure where the gas is most likely to accumulate. The collection kit is left in one location for the specified amount of time and is then collected and processed to determine the level of radon that was present during the testing period. The residents or workers who occupy the property are asked to reduce exterior ventilation as much as possible during the test, but no other input or actions are required. We realize it can often be difficult to keep all windows closed, especially during hot Warner, New Hampshire summers, but this is very important to assess accurate results. Once we’ve determined the presence and level of radon in a structure, our team can then offer a range of mitigation options that are tailored to the specific situation.
More Reviews from Happy SWAT Environmental Customers:
“I haven’t finished the test yet, and will reach out if there are any issues with that, but just to say in the meantime that I’m really pleased with the system reinstall. The relocation of the system resolved the noise issues I was having when it was first installed by the bedroom. I also like that the new setup is much tighter overall (with the system on a small part of one wall of the basement inside, and venting out near other existing vents outside. The installer, Connor (Conor? not sure of spelling) was fantastic, both for the consultation and for the reinstall. He explained everything really well, kept me in the loop throughout the reinstallation. He also figured out while doing the reinstallation that the wrong size fan had been installed before, so he fixed that too. A++.” – A. Dudley, Warner
“Hard working and seemed knowledgeable. ” – B. Baxley, Warner

If Your Home Has Elevated Radon Levels, Don’t Panic! In Warner NH Radon Mitigation Systems are Very Common.
Due to radon’s radioactive characteristics and the serious health problems associated with long-term radon exposure, Warner property owners should take immediate steps to mitigate even moderate levels of radon gas in their buildings. According to Kila Atkins, radiation exposure causes more fatalities every year than any other environmental pollutant. “Before 1879, miners who developed lung cancer due to radon exposure were believed to have a condition known as Mala Metallorum.”
At SWAT Environmental of Warner NH, we supply an array of radon removal options that are designed to prevent radon entry into the dwelling. Our mitigation systems operate by creating a vacuum in the soil beneath or immediately adjacent to the structure. This negative pressure draws any radon that is present upwards through the connected piping instead of entering the building’s basement, crawl space, or living area. The gas is then safely released through a vent above the roofline.
