Radon Mitigation and Testing in Eden Prairie, MN

Every family deserves to breathe safe, healthy air at home. In Eden Prairie and throughout Minnesota, this may mean reducing radon levels.

Radon is an invisible, odorless gas and the leading cause of lung cancer for nonsmokers. In Minnesota, over 40% of homes have radon levels that pose a serious health risk. For these reasons, every household should test for radon and take action if the levels are too high, or 4 pCi/L or more.

SWAT Environmental provides free DIY radon test kits for Eden Prairie properties, and then resolves elevated radon levels with the nation’s most trusted remediation services.

Understanding Your Radon Risks

Radon is a radioactive gas that forms naturally when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It gets into homes through foundation cracks and other openings, where it can build to dangerous levels. Minnesota has some of the highest radon concentrations in the country due to its uranium-rich geology and soil conditions that allow radon to escape the ground easily.

Eden Prairie, in particular, is at risk of high radon levels. The Environmental Protection Agency’s radon zone map shows Hennepin County in Zone 1. That means homes in Eden Prairie have the highest potential for radon levels above 4.0 pCi/L.

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.

Testing and Professional Radon Solutions

Testing for radon is simple, and it’s the only reliable way to know if your home needs a mitigation system. It generally requires placing the test kit in the lowest level of your home and waiting a day or two before mailing it to a lab for analysis. Once you get the test results, our team is happy to review them and help you determine the next best step.

If you have elevated radon levels, we’re ready to take action. We’ll consider your home’s foundation, age, square footage and radon levels to identify the most effective approach to mitigation. We have decades of experience designing and installing systems that consistently reduce radon to safer levels.

Installing a Radon Mitigation System at Your Eden Prairie Home

Radon remediation usually involves installing a specialized fan system that acts as a vacuum. It continuously removes radon gas from your living spaces, expelling it outdoors above your roofline. We’ll include a monitoring gauge on the system’s suction pipe that allows you to confirm the fan is working correctly at all times.

Throughout the installation, we seal foundation cracks and openings to ensure the vacuuming effect of the fan system operates optimally. The whole process typically takes a day to complete.

With us, you can be sure installation is carried out with the highest degree of professionalism and respect for your home. Our highly trained, certified technicians make it a point to arrive on time, treat your home with care and clean up thoroughly when finished.
