Radon Mitigation and Testing in Greenwood, IN

What Is Radon?

Radon is a radioactive gas that forms naturally in the ground. It rises upward and seeps into buildings through foundation cracks and structural openings. Once it gets inside, it can build up to levels that pose serious health risks.

According to the EPA, prolonged radon exposure leads to about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year. Radon is invisible, odorless and tasteless, so there’s no way to know whether your levels are high — testing is the only way to determine if you need radon mitigation.

Since Johnson County sits in EPA Zone 1, every household should test for radon. Zone 1 means there’s the highest potential for indoor radon levels above 4.0 pCi/L. The EPA suggests installing a radon mitigation system when levels are at or above 4.0 pCi/L.

Our Approach to Radon Reduction in Greenwood

At SWAT Environmental, we’re on a mission to help protect families from lung cancer by reducing their exposure to radon. We serve property owners in the following ways:

Free Radon Test Kits

The first step is to test your property’s radon levels. Even if a neighbor says they do or don’t have high radon levels, you’ll still need to conduct a test. Two homes on the same street can have completely different levels depending on soil conditions and foundation construction.

Testing for radon is something you can do yourself. It’s a straightforward process that involves placing the test kit in the lowest level of your home for a specified amount of time and then sending it to a lab for analysis. To help you complete this step, we provide free DIY radon test kits. We’re also happy to answer any questions you may have about the testing process or results.

Radon Mitigation

Radon mitigation is the process of installing a system that reduces indoor radon levels. Most residential solutions involve sub-slab depressurization, where a pipe and fan draw radon out from under your foundation and release it above your roofline. We install sub-slab depressurization systems as well as other systems depending on your needs. Every solution is customized to your home’s structure and radon entry points.

Do you own or manage an apartment complex, housing development, assisted living facility or other commercial property? We can install radon mitigation systems to help protect your tenants’ health. We can also assist you if you already have a system in place at a Greenwood property. With our radon inspection program, we ensure existing mitigation systems operate as they should.
