While most people will want to ensure that their home is a safe place to protecting them from harmful and inclement weather conditions, what many fail to realize is the other dangers that can put your long-term health in jeopardy. One of those things is the presence of radon gas. That’s why if you called Milwaukee Wisconsin home and you’re a homeowner, you want to be very concerned about the presence of radon gas. Radon gas can occur commonly in homes and this particular gas is highly radioactive. It is been linked to numerous health conditions, the most serious being lung cancer.
Radon gas can seep up through the soil in your house and into the cracks of a foundation and move upwards into the home itself. That is why it is important to make sure that your home does not have issues with radon gas. There are many at-home tests that can be purchased at home improvement stores and often times these tests can be acquired through your local health department. These tests will give you a good idea if radon levels are safe or if you need to be more proactive in reducing the amount of radon gas that enters your home from the home’s foundation.
If you have determined that your home has a problem with radon gas then Radon Abatement in Milwaukee, WI in the form of dedicated Radon Measurement & Elimination Services services can offer you not only the ability to determine whether you have a radon gas problem but they can solve the issues in two separate ways.
The first is with sealing cracks within the foundation which is causing radon gas to enter your home. Another method is the use of exhaust fans to move the radon gas out from the foundation area through an exhaust tube and harmlessly expell it into the atmosphere where it disapates. These methods are known as sub slab depressurization and they can be very effective in reducing levels of radon gas in your home.
Fortunately, the cost of these measures can be fairly inexpensive. You can spend anywhere from $500-$2500 depending on the problems you’re having with radon gas. However, when you consider the potential health risks radon gas pose to you and your family, this may seem a very small amount of money to pay to ensure your family’s health.
