Radon Mitigation in Ogden

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 and around Ogden 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 Mitigation and Testing in Ogden

If you own a home in Ogden, understanding your radon risk is essential for protecting your family’s health. Radon is an invisible, odorless, radioactive gas that forms naturally as uranium in soil breaks down. This gas can enter homes through foundation cracks and other small openings, building up to levels that pose serious health risks over time. Testing is the only reliable way to determine whether your home has unsafe radon concentrations.

SWAT Environmental specializes in mitigation systems that effectively lower radon levels in homes throughout Ogden, Riverdale, North Ogden and Harrisville. Our trained technicians use proven methods to redirect radon gas before it can accumulate indoors, giving you confidence that the air your family breathes is safer.

Understanding Your Radon Risk

Ogden sits in an EPA-designated Zone 1 area, which indicates the highest potential for elevated radon levels — typically 4.0 pCi/L or greater. For that reason, radon testing is particularly important for homeowners in this region.

According to health experts, radon causes more than 20,000 lung cancer deaths annually in the U.S. When radon levels meet or exceed the EPA’s action level of 4.0 pCi/L, installing a professional mitigation system significantly reduces your exposure and health risk.

The Radon Remediation Process

Our radon mitigation approach starts with evaluating your home’s current radon levels and foundation characteristics. We’ll then install a system designed to prevent radon from entering your living areas. The most common solution involves sub-slab depressurization, which uses a fan and piping system to draw radon from beneath a home’s foundation and vent it safely above the roofline.

After installation, we’ll conduct follow-up testing to confirm that radon levels have dropped to acceptable ranges. We’ll also provide clear instructions for system maintenance to ensure continued effectiveness.

Common Questions About Radon in Ogden

Homeowners throughout Weber County often have similar concerns when they first learn about radon risks. Here are answers to questions we frequently hear.

Does Every Ogden Home Need Radon Testing?

Yes. Because Ogden is located in an EPA Zone 1 area with high radon potential, testing is recommended for all homes regardless of age, construction type or location. Radon levels can vary significantly even between neighboring properties, so testing is the only way to know your specific risk.

Can I Install a Radon System Myself?

While DIY radon systems are available, professional installation ensures proper design and compliance with building codes. Incorrectly installed systems may fail to reduce radon adequately and could create other issues, like moisture problems or inadequate ventilation. Licensed professionals have the training and equipment to install systems that perform reliably.
