Homes With Basements Or Wells Are Likely To Have Elevated Radon
Study finds homes with basements or wells have higher radon levels. Learn how to manage this risk in your home.
Radon Mitigation is Affordable and Effective
Active depressurization systems were found in this study to reduce exposure to indoor radon concentrations by 85%.
Radon Levels Can Be High Regardless of Season
Radon levels were previously assumed to be higher consistently in winter. The latest research indicates that 47.5% of buildings showed a minimal difference in summertime readings.

Radon Exposure is Rising
Radon exposure is rising steadily within the modern North American residential environment, and its increasingly uniform across the seasons
Research
Sub-Slab Depressurization and Sump-Pit Depressurization Systems Are the Most Effective
Sub-slab depressurization and sump-pit depressurization radon mitigation systems are more effective than sealing, membrane, block and beam, simple ventilation or filtration.
