How can radon levels be reduced?
Don’t be discouraged if you find elevated radon concentrations in your home! Radon problems can be prevented by installing a radon mitigation system. A plastic pipe is connected to the soil beneath a slab, basement or crawl space floor and then extended to the outside of the home, where radon gas is harmlessly exhausted into outside air. A continuously-operating fan ensures the system’s effectiveness. If you hire a contractor to do the work, use one who is listed at www.radongas.org or http://www.nrsb.org.
