Radon is a radioactive, colourless, odorless and tasteless noble gas, occurring naturally as the decay product of uranium in the soil. When it decays it will travel through the dirt and seek any openings in the lower levels of homes. There can be many openings in the basement of homes including floor and wall cracks, open sump pits, damaged floor drains or brittle mortar between blocks.
Repairing the openings is just one step to mitigate radon gas that is entering the basement. Once the area is sealed properly, Radon Gas venting should be added to protect the occupants. Advanced Basement Systems was called to do a complete mitigation system in this home. Fixing all the cracks then adding the vent system will reduce the Radon Gas Levels making the home safe to live in.
If you are worried about living with Radon Gas, call Advanced Basement Systems to protect yourself and your family.
