Most house and building owners in Auburn ME feel relatively safe in their homes. Generally, air pollution is not a problem in Androscoggin County, Maine. However, radon gas is a significant problem in our community and is the single greatest health threat to Auburn ME families. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that results from the breakdown of radioactive uranium, thorium and radium. Elevated radon levels have been found in all types of buildings including homes, schools, condominiums, government buildings, and skyscrapers. 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 Auburn ME. The widespread prevalence of these substances means that radon gas is an issue faced by many home and commercial property owners. Opening windows and finding other ways to improve airflow in your home can help lower the risk of suffering health problems synonymous with radon exposure.

Radon Testing & Mitigation in Auburn ME 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 Auburn 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 Auburn ME 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 Auburn, Maine 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:

“Very quick and professional. Thank you so much!” – T. Chou, Auburn

“Rob did a nice job on the install. Having very little idea of what to expect for an installation I was surprised when Rob started bring in 4 inch PVC pipe for the job. If I could offer any advise, I think it would be beneficial to provide a small brochure or flyer to explain the installation process and what all was done. I was also very surprised there was no type of cover or elbow to keep the water/snow/ice and/or birds/animals out of the opening. 4 inches is capable of a lot of capture. Can you explain what happens to all the “catch”? ” – R. Heim, Auburn

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

Due to radon’s radioactive characteristics and the serious health problems associated with long-term radon exposure, Auburn property owners should take immediate steps to mitigate even moderate levels of radon gas in their buildings. According to Laesha Ware, radiation exposure causes more fatalities every year than any other environmental pollutant. “Along with cancer, radon exposure may cause brain disorders. According to a study published by the University of North Dakota, exposure to this radioactive gas can increase the risk of suffering from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.”

At SWAT Environmental of Auburn ME, 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.
