Most house and building owners in Elwood IL feel relatively safe in their homes. Generally, air pollution is not a problem in Will County, Illinois. However, radon gas is a significant problem in our community and is the single greatest health threat to Elwood IL families. Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that results from the breakdown of radioactive uranium, thorium and radium. Radon can also be present in groundwater, typically if the home’s water source is from a ground well. 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 Elwood IL. The widespread prevalence of these substances means that radon gas is an issue faced by many home and commercial property owners. The only way for someone to know if they have radon in their home is by using a testing kit or hiring a professional service to inspect their home for the presence of the gas.  This is because it is a colorless and odorless gas.

Here is What Some of Our Radon Mitigation Customers from the Elwood Area are Saying About Our Services:

“Michael was terrific. You are lucky to have him. Very professional and just nice!!!” – S. Ellington, Elwood

“Josh Sawre did and EXCELLENT job at 1816 10th st, Columbus IN. Another installer (Rob) was originally scheduled and wanted to do the install in a way that was easiest for him but would have looked bad and killed my sale. After showing Rob where I wanted the install he became argumentative, sarcastic and tried to bully me. I called the office and they sent Josh who was polite, professional and meticulous and easily completed the install. Josh gets 5 starts and Rob should get fired. Lisa Conner, repeat customer for JOLI Rentals, JOLI Development. 812-343-2955” – T. Valdivia, Elwood

Radon Testing & Mitigation in Elwood IL 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 Elwood 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 Elwood IL 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 Elwood, Illinois 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 was very pleased with Jason- he was quite personable and I felt he was very knowledgeable about what he was doing. It’s still hard to believe how much he did in about 3 hours- which included hauling his equipment in and then out again. He allowed me to observe when I wanted [I really wanted to see the gravel under the basement floor] and explained everything he did and that the system would do very well. Excellent work!” – K. Duong, Elwood

“Courteous and polite.” – D. Menard, Elwood

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

Due to radon’s radioactive characteristics and the serious health problems associated with long-term radon exposure, Elwood property owners should take immediate steps to mitigate even moderate levels of radon gas in their buildings. According to Ravyn Bender, radiation exposure causes more fatalities every year than any other environmental pollutant. “Contrary to popular belief, radon can invade older and newer homes alike.”

At SWAT Environmental of Elwood IL, 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.
