Radon Mitigation - Aurelia, IA
Radon Levels Lead Family to Plan Two-Point Mitigation System
After living in their home for several years, this family decided to take action to create a healthier indoor environment for their children. Increased media coverage and growing awareness of radon risks in their community also encouraged them to look into mitigation. A home detector showed radon levels around 9 pCi/L on the main floor, above the EPA's recommended action level of 4 pCi/L. A charcoal test kit was left to measure basement levels, with the final scope subject to those results. The proposed solution includes a two-point radon mitigation system, with extraction points serving the crawlspace and basement. This customized approach addresses the home's challenging foundation layout while helping reduce radon exposure.
