WHAT IS RADON?

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that is found in rocks and soil and seeps its way into homes through openings between the soil and the home. When inhaled, it can accumulate in your lungs, ultimately leading to issues like lung cancer. An estimated 21,000 people die in the U.S. each year from lung cancer caused by radon, and it causes more lung cancer than even secondhand smoke.

The average radon level in Minnesota is more than three times higher than the national radon level. This means that radon mitigation is essential to protecting you and your family from the effects of this invisible gas.

Symptoms of radon exposure often include and can lead to:

  • Persistent cough
  • Chest pain
  • Wheezing
  • Lung cancer

RADON TESTING

The only way to find out if your home contains radon is to test it. Most radon tests can be performed without professionals, though it’s crucial to perform the test properly, and you’ll need to mail your completed test to a lab to receive results. Your home should be tested for radon every 2 to 5 years, preferably during the winter.

Radon test kits are available for a low cost through your local health department or hardware store, or free through Standard Water.

RADON MITIGATION SOLUTIONS

The radon mitigation process involves using a radon mitigation system to seal openings, preventing the gas from entering your home, and installing a ventilation system that removes radon from the air. You may also choose to install a sub-slab depressurization system, a specialized type of radon mitigation system that helps eliminate mold, mildew, radon, and other soil gases from your home. This is a popular choice for homes with a basement or slab foundation, which are common in Minnesota, and it’s the most effective option, too.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ABOUT RADON MITIGATION & SUB-SLAB DEPRESSURIZATION

What Is Radon Mitigation?

Radon mitigation is the process of reducing radon gas in buildings or homes. Radon mitigation systems are extremely effective—in fact, they can reduce radon levels in homes and buildings up to 99%.

What Causes Radon?

Radon is a gas that forms naturally when uranium, radium, and thorium break down in soil, groundwater, and rocks. Radon can then enter buildings through cracks and gaps in walls and foundations.

How to Get Rid of Radon

With Standard Water Control, removing radon is straightforward. Once we install a system, it may only take a few days for our mitigation system to remove radon from your home or business.

How Does a Sub-Slab Soil Exhaust System Work?

First, we seal cracks and openings in your basement. Then, we install a ventilation system that draws moisture and soil gases (like radon) from under your basement floor and moves them out of your home. It’s the most effective method of radon removal, and it also reduces mold and mildew.

Is a Sub-Slab Soil Exhaust System Effective in Reducing Radon Levels?

Yes. Our sub-slab ventilation system removes both radon (and other soil gases) along with moisture.

Are There Any Maintenance Requirements for a Sub-Slab Soil Exhaust System?

The system should be checked regularly to ensure the fan is working properly and that the system is effectively removing moisture and soil gases from your home environment.

How Much Does a Radon Mitigation System Cost in Crystal, MN and Surrounding Areas?

You can expect to pay $1,000 to $2,500 for your radon mitigation system installation, depending on your home size, foundation type, and system complexity. We offer free estimates, competitive pricing, and high-quality components to provide both value and peace of mind.

Do I Need Radon Testing Before Installing a Mitigation System?

Yes. Testing is always the first step in determining whether a radon mitigation system is necessary. Standard Water offers free radon test kits to homeowners across Crystal, MN and the greater Twin Cities metro area. The test only takes a few days, and if your results are above 4.0 pCi/L, we’ll recommend the right radon mitigation system to reduce levels quickly and safely.

Can Standard Water Reduce Radon from Well Water Too?

Yes. If you’re on a private well, we can assess whether a water radon mitigation system is needed in addition to air mitigation.

How Long Does Radon Mitigation Installation Take, and Is It Disruptive?

Most radon mitigation installations are completed in one day. Our crews are trained to arrive on time, perform the service efficiently, and clean up afterward, with no disruption to your home or routine.

How Can I Schedule a Radon Estimate or Learn More About Mitigation?

All you have to do is contact Standard Water online or call us. Whether you’re buying a home, planning a basement remodel, or dealing with a failed radon test, we’re there to help.
