Radon Mitigation and Testing in Cleveland

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 Cleveland 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 Cleveland:

Any home in the Cleveland 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 Ohio Department of Health radon gas initiative:

• 60% of counties in Ohio, including Cleveland (Cuyahoga County) have elevated radon levels.
• Cleveland is designated a radon gas Zone 2 by the EPA, having average radon levels of 3.0 pCi/L or higher.
• 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.

Testing for Radon Exposure in Cleveland

Regular radon testing is advised every two years, as well as following any renovations or structural modifications. Cuyahoga County’s older houses, particularly homes with basement foundations common in neighborhoods like Cleveland Heights and Lakewood, may be more susceptible to radon infiltration.

Fortunately, radon testing in Cleveland is straightforward with SWAT Environmental’s complimentary do-it-yourself test kits delivered straight to your doorstep. After you complete the testing process, our team will provide a detailed report of the results and help chart the appropriate course of action.

As radon levels can fluctuate from home to home and vary with the area’s dramatic seasonal changes, it is important to partner with a professional to understand your risks. Winter is likely to show higher indoor radon levels due to homes being closed during lake effect weather. That’s why some homeowners opt for seasonal testing to get the full picture of their radon exposure throughout the year, and our experts can chart patterns to develop more effective mitigation strategies.

Radon test results of 4.0 pCi/L or higher indicate a significant risk to the building’s occupants and signal the need to act quickly with professional radon remediation.
