Most house and building owners in Amherst Junction WI feel relatively safe in their homes. Generally, air pollution is not a problem in Portage County, Wisconsin. However, radon gas is a significant problem in our community and is the single greatest health threat to Amherst Junction WI families. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that results from the breakdown of radioactive uranium, thorium and radium. Radon is often referred to as “the invisible killer” because it can be present in any indoor environment without any signals of its presence to the occupants within the dwelling. 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 Amherst Junction WI. The widespread prevalence of these substances means that radon gas is an issue faced by many home and commercial property owners. Radon gas is heavier than air, so concentrations are typically higher in the lower levels of a dwelling. However, the HVAC system and natural “stack effect” (upward draw of air as heat rised) will draw the gas upward into the upper levels of the structure.

Radon Testing & Mitigation in Amherst Junction WI 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 Amherst Junction 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 Amherst Junction WI 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 Amherst Junction, Wisconsin 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.

“On time, cleaned up well and done in 2 1/2 hours” – J. Nolte, Amherst Junction

“Loraine was great on the phone. I appreciated the quick quote and scheduling and answering my questions. I’d really like to praise my technician Don. He was fantastic. I’d read some reviews online about SWAT and to be honest was a bit nervous to use you guys. Don calmed all my fears. He talked over my concerns with me and we talked out different options. We ended up going with the original placement location and with the color match and downspout the unit looks great! Camouflages well with the house. Don also informed me that my sump pump was broken and fixed it on the spot!! I mean, that’s pretty awesome to not have to worry about rescheduling and finding someone to do it. Don took the extra time to make sure everything was done properly. He even skipped his lunch. Only critique I’d give is at the end the instructions were a bit fast and overwhelming for me being new to all this. It would be nice if you had a sheet to leave behind that tells us what to look for. A HUGE thank you to Don! ” – L. Curley, Amherst Junction

If Your Home Has Elevated Radon Levels, Don’t Panic! In Amherst Junction WI Radon Mitigation Systems are Very Common.

Due to radon’s radioactive characteristics and the serious health problems associated with long-term radon exposure, Amherst Junction property owners should take immediate steps to mitigate even moderate levels of radon gas in their buildings. According to Clelia Carlton, radiation exposure causes more fatalities every year than any other environmental pollutant. Radon inhalation can result in several health effects including chronic fatigue.

At SWAT Environmental of Amherst Junction WI, 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.
