Radon Mitigation and Testing in Baltimore

What Is Radon?

Radon is a radioactive gas that’s odorless, tasteless and invisible. It forms when uranium in the soil breaks down, and it enters buildings through structural openings and foundation cracks.

Because radon is radioactive, it can damage lung cells over time. According to the American Cancer Society, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.

Since radon levels vary across locations, the EPA categorizes areas of the country into different radon zones. Baltimore sits within Zone 1, which means it has the highest potential for indoor radon levels that exceed 4.0 pCi/L. The EPA recommends taking radon mitigation steps if your home’s levels are at 4.0 pCi/L or higher.

Our Approach to Radon Mitigation in Baltimore

SWAT Environmental is committed to reducing radon exposure in homes and workplaces with the highest quality radon mitigation solutions. Since our beginning in 1988, we’ve installed hundreds of thousands of radon mitigation systems nationwide and have grown into the largest radon mitigation company in the country.

Here’s how we deliver radon remediation in Baltimore and throughout the U.S.:

Radon Test Kits

Every home is different within the same EPA radon zone — and even within the same neighborhood. Radon testing is the only way to know your risk. We provide free DIY radon test kits so you can determine whether you need a radon mitigation system in your Baltimore home. We are happy to explain your test results and recommend the next step.

Radon Mitigation

Most residential radon mitigation systems use sub-slab depressurization technology. This creates negative pressure beneath your foundation to keep radon from entering living spaces. A continuously running fan moves the gas through piping and vents it above your roofline, where it can disperse safely.

We’ll determine which system works best for your home by first pinpointing where radon is entering and then customizing a solution to your home’s layout. Most system installations can be completed in a day.

We also install tailored commercial radon mitigation systems to reduce exposure in multifamily communities, assisted living facilities and other commercial properties. Additionally, we offer managers and property owners a radon system inspection program in Baltimore to maintain existing systems and ensure they continue to perform reliably.
