FAQ

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It can seep into homes and buildings through cracks and openings in the foundation.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Testing is the only way to know if you have elevated radon levels in your home.

The cost of radon testing can vary depending on the type of test and the number of tests performed. Contact Northeast Radon Solutions for a free quote.

Short-term tests typically take 48 - 72 hours, while long-term tests can take up to a year.

Radon mitigation is the process of reducing radon levels in a home or building to safe levels. This is typically done by installing a sub-slab depressurization system.

A sub-slab depressurization system uses a fan to create a vacuum under the concrete slab of the home. This draws radon gas from the soil and vents it safely to the outside.

The cost of radon mitigation can vary depending on the size and construction of the home and the complexity of the installation. Contact Northeast Radon Solutions for a free estimate.

Yes, having a professionally mitigated home can actually increase its value.

Some signs that your radon system may need repair include:

• Increased radon levels in your home
• Loud or unusual noises coming from the system
• Visible damage to the system components
• A decrease in airflow from the vent pipe

The cost of radon system repair will vary depending on the nature of the problem.

It is recommended to have your radon system inspected annually to ensure it is operating properly.
