Radon Mitigation and Testing in Bloomington

What is radon?

Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that escapes when uranium in the soil decays. Radon becomes concentrated in a home, school or workplace as it seeps through cracks in the foundation or other natural openings in a structure.

At SWAT Environmental, we are dedicated to protecting families in Bloomington from radon exposure. Through our radon remediation process, our radon mitigation technicians have installed radon mitigation systems that reduce radon gas and make the air you breathe safer.

Radon in Bloomington:

Any home in the Bloomington area is at risk for elevated radon levels. Radon testing is the only way to know if your home has harmful radon levels.

According to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management radon gas initiative:

• 1 in 3 homes in the area have elevated radon levels
• Bloomington is designated a radon gas Zone 1 by the EPA, having average radon levels about 4.0 pCi/L.
• Radon gas causes over 20,000 radon-related death each year.
• The Surgeon General has warned that radon gas exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.

SWAT Environmental delivers expert radon mitigation in Bloomington to protect homes and businesses from harmful exposure. From Indiana University’s historic campus to Vinegar Hill’s limestone homes, properties throughout Monroe County face serious risks from this invisible, cancer-causing gas.

Professional Radon Solutions

Radon forms when uranium in soil decays, releasing a radioactive gas that seeps into buildings through cracks in the foundation. Testing is the only way to detect dangerous concentrations. SWAT Environmental provides free radon test kits that are analyzed by independent laboratories.

If your radon inspection in Bloomington shows elevated levels, our technicians can evaluate your foundation type, soil conditions and current readings to design a customized mitigation plan.

We install systems tailored to your property:

• Active soil depressurization: Electric fans create negative pressure beneath foundations, venting radon outside before it enters indoor spaces.
• Sub-slab systems: This approach to radon removal extracts gas through suction points beneath the concrete.
• Passive systems: These use natural airflow to prevent accumulation without powered equipment.
• Crawlspace solutions: Sealed encapsulation with ventilation helps reduce radon entry points in homes with crawlspaces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Radon

Homeowners and property managers often have questions about radon mitigation systems, installation timelines and long-term effectiveness. Here are answers to common concerns from Monroe County residents:

How quickly can you install a radon mitigation system in Bloomington?

Most residential installations can be completed in a single visit, though timing depends on the foundation type and system design. Commercial projects require additional time based on building size. We schedule installations at convenient times and work efficiently to minimize disruption.

Will radon mitigation affect my home’s appearance or value?

Radon mitigation systems minimize visual impact by routing pipes along existing features. An installation can help protect resale value by giving buyers confidence that elevated radon has been addressed. Many buyers seek homes with existing mitigation in high-radon areas.

Do I need to test after installation?

Yes, post-installation testing confirms performance. SWAT Environmental provides a test kit with each installation, and we recommend completing that test seven to 30 days after your system is installed. After that, retest every two years.
