Radon Mitigation for Large Buildings Near You
Like residential homes, large building can have elevated radon levels as well. Schools, office buildings, and mixed-use structures are all susceptible to elevated levels of radon.
As awareness of radon and it's risks rises, employers, parents, and tenants are beginning to test office spaces, schools and apartments more frequently. While building codes for radon-resistant construction are on the rise, many large buildings are without any sort of passive piping and require retro-fit systems installed to mitigate.
The Radon Guys are NRPP (National Radon Proficiency Program) certified mitigation specialists. We’ve performed thousands of radon services in Middle Tennessee and are here to ensure your large commercial build stays compliant and safe.
Radon Mitigation for School Buildings Near You
Like residential homes, large building can have elevated radon levels as well. Schools, office buildings, and mixed-use structures are all susceptible to elevated levels of radon.
As awareness of radon and it's risks rises, employers, parents, and tenants are beginning to test office spaces, schools and apartments more frequently. While building codes for radon-resistant construction are on the rise, many large buildings are without any sort of passive piping and require retro-fit systems installed to mitigate.
The EPA estimates that there are around 70,000 schoolrooms in use today with elevated radon levels. Testing is the first step to learning if your child’s classroom is in need of mitigation. The Radon Guys will work with school officials to test, diagnose, and plan a mitigation strategy that makes sense for the school, teachers and students.
What Builders Need to Know About Radon
What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. Radon can infiltrate buildings, where it can accumulate and pose a health risk when inhaled over long periods.
How do You Know if You Have High Radon Levels?
Radon is colorless and odorless. So if you suspect your home could have high radon levels and you’re wondering, “Do I need to have my home radon tested?”, the answer is yes.
Radon mitigation practices — including Radon-Resistant New Construction — help reduce radon levels within your home to a safe level.
Is a Passive Radon System Enough?
Do passive radon systems work? In some cases, yes. However… in many cases, a passive radon system is not enough to dramatically lower your home's radon levels. Ensuring you have a quality passive radon system in place makes installing a fan down the line easier and more affordable — turning your passive system into an effective active one.
