Risk of elevated radon levels can easily and inexpensively be fixed compared to other home improvements. Most important is taking the first step to simply TEST your home or building structure for radon. According to The Radon Certification Act enacted in most states, radon testing can only be performed by a DEP certified tester or by the person who owns or occupies the building. This is where our specialists at Help4Radon.com can help you. Help4Radon.com is a full service radon testing, mitigation, & remediation company. Our goal is to provide quality workmanship, materials, and follow-up to assure you peace of mind from radon exposure.

The Certified Specialists at Help4Radon.com make use of multiple systems depending on your home’s type of construction. The most common systems include sub-slab depressurization (most common method) and sub-membrane ventilation. During our initial visit, we can assess which system is best for you home.
Radon in soil is drawn indoors by the differential between the relatively low air pressure in the house and the higher air pressure in the soil. Therefore, radon reduction strategies fall into two basic categories: those that prevent the entry of radon gas into the home, and those that attempt to remove the radon once it has entered the home. In most situations, the first approach - preventing radon entry - is the most effective.
Systems - quick summary:
Sub-Slab Depressurization or Sub-Slab Suction: This method removes radon-laced air from beneath the foundation and vents it outside the home by installing a fan and inserting a pipe through the foundation into the gravel below, running it to a point outside the shell of the house.
Sub-Membrane Ventilation / Depressurization: This method, which utilizes a method similar to “sub-slab depressurization”, is effective in buildings with earth-floored crawlspaces or basements and uses a plastic barrier over the soil as a collection cover.
Block Wall Suction: This is another depressurization technique for preventing radon entry. This method uses a fan and duct work to draw suction on the hollow interior cavities of a concrete block wall. By keeping the air pressure within the block wall lower than the air pressure in the basement, the soil gas is removed before it can enter the living area.
