Radon Mitigation in Joliet

What is radon?

Radon mitigation in Joliet requires expertise and reliable equipment. SWAT Environmental delivers both, with certified technicians who understand Will County’s soil conditions and radon risks. Since 1988, we’ve protected homes and businesses with proven radon mitigation systems that deliver long-lasting results.

When uranium breaks down in soil, it produces a radioactive gas called radon. This gas enters buildings through foundation gaps, and it accumulates to harmful levels over time. Each year, it’s estimated that radon-related lung cancer claims about 21,000 lives in the United States.

Every property in the area faces radon risks, and testing is the only way to know how severe. The Will County Health Department runs a radon program to help raise awareness. Joliet falls within EPA Zone 2, where typical indoor radon measurements average 2.0 pCi/L or above. Federal guidelines call for action at 4.0 pCi/L, but many homeowners look into radon mitigation at lower levels for their safety and peace of mind.

SWAT Environmental reduces radon exposure for families in this region. Our certified technicians design and install mitigation systems that actively remove radon from homes and commercial buildings.

Radon Mitigation

Active soil depressurization is the most effective method for reducing radon in homes with basements or slab foundations. With this type of system, we install pipes through the basement slab and attach them to a fan that will run continuously, drawing radon from the soil and redirecting it outside. Our crews seal foundation gaps with commercial-grade materials, directing the gas toward suction points for efficient removal. When radon enters the atmosphere, it dilutes to harmless levels within seconds.

We can typically finish installing radon mitigation systems in Joliet within four to six hours.
