Radon Mitigation

In general, radon mitigation involves installing a system that pulls radon away from your home’s foundation and releases it above your roofline. Our technicians will evaluate your property’s foundation construction, soil conditions and ventilation patterns to identify optimal system placement and design.

Most system installations are completed within a single day, although the timeline depends on your unique property. After we finish the installation, we provide comprehensive reports that detail the system specifications, testing protocols and maintenance recommendations.

We also offer a commercial radon inspection program in Rock Hill, where we inspect and maintain existing systems on an ongoing basis.

What is radon?

Radon is a radioactive gas that poses serious health risks. It forms in the ground as uranium decays, and then rises into buildings through cracks and gaps. As a radioactive gas, it damages lung cells when breathed in. Over time, this damage can lead to lung cancer. According to the EPA, radon contributes to thousands of lung cancer deaths every year, and it’s the second leading cause of lung cancer.

What does this mean for Rock Hill residents? York County is in the EPA’s Zone 2. In this zone, the predicted average indoor radon level for the county is between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L. All homes should be tested for radon, regardless of the zone they’re in.

Why Properties Need Radon Testing in Columbia, SC
