Multi-Family Housing Radon FAQs
You have tested your home for radon, but now what?
If you; have tested your home for radon and confirmed that you had elevated radon levels, 4 picocuries per liter in the air (pCi/L) or higher, our guidance can help you:
- Select a qualified radon mitigation contractor to reduce the radon levels in your home.
- Determine an appropriate radon reduction method.
- Maintain your radon reduction system.
Radon reduction systems work. Some radon reduction systems can reduce radon levels in your home by up to 99 percent.
Most homes can be fixed for about the exact cost as other common home repairs. However, your costs may vary depending on the size and design of your home and which radon reduction methods are needed.

It’s a naturally occurring radioactive gas from the natural breakdown of uranium (radioactive decay). Radon is typically found in soil and igneous rock, and sometimes in water as well. It can be found across the U.S., especially in central Kentucky. Radon quickly dilutes when it releases into the air. As a result, it seeps into buildings through gaps, cracks, and holes.
Natural Sources of Radon
There are multiple natural sources of Radon; some of them are as follow;
- Uranium Ores: It’s found in many soil deposits globally.
- Shales: It’s a sedimentary rock that is formed from clay and mud.
- Igneous Rocks: Rocks that are formed from lava or magma cooling (graphite).
- Phosphate Rock: it contains a higher amount of phosphate level, commonly found in clay.
- Metamorphic Rocks: rock that forms due to the transformation of other rocks forms (marble).
Limestone is also listed down in Radon’s natural sources, but we can’t accept a high level of Radon produced by its decay. An important thing to note is Radon doesn’t result from the decay of natural sources but through different manufactured structures.
Although Radon is primarily found in outdoor air, it becomes more of an issue when building through the basement walls or floor. This is because it usually moves up through the ground to the air above and into your building through cracks and other holes in the foundation. As a result, your home can easily trap Radon inside, where its concentrations can then build up.
Radon in Drinking Water
If the drinking water is exposed to any level or amount of Radon, it may still be considered dangerous for your health. Yes, if the drinking water source is in contact with Radon containing soil, it can easily dissolve in the water. From there, it could enter your home. A standard safe limit is 2.6pCi/L, and if the Radon level goes beyond this, it can pose a severe health threat.
The answer is yes! It can pose a serious health risk to your overall health and especially the respiratory system. If you’re exposed to Radon’s excessive level for an extended period, you could have higher chances of developing lung cancer. According to the EPA Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers in the U.S.. This is a silent killer, and you can’t figure out its effects until it’s too late.
Here are many ways to test your home or a building and begin the mitigation process.
If you doubt that your building has a Radon problem, then the best option is to go for Radon testing. You can find a professional and reliable company for the testing and mitigating process. They can better help you in getting rid of it, depending on the concentration.
You can’t see, smell, or taste radon. However, it still might be an issue inside your house. Radon is a gas atom, and it features a half-life of only about 4 days. Radon gas is completely natural and it forms during the decay of uranium-238, an element that is naturally present in our soil.
Reviews
I cannot say enough positive about our experience with Radon Delete. They were recommended by a friend who had a great experience with them. They were knowledgeable, helpful, professional, and friendly. They stayed in touch and willingly answered all our questions. They did a professional job with cheerful attitudes. We could not be happier with their service.
I cannot speak more highly of Wilson and his team. I had a difficult situation with a large crawl and I wanted only one system. Other radon companies kept saying I needed two systems. Wilson and his crew made it work. I went from radon levels of upper 40s to 0.5. I had about 5 companies come through and Wilson and Radon Delete with his HVAC experience and mechanical design training were far and away the most qualified!
We had a fantastic experience with Radon Delete. The entire process from quote through install and follow up was seamless. Great customer service accompanied by a high level of craftsmanship is hard to find these days and these guys outperformed expectations at every turn. They were very thoughtful on how to make the system look as atheistically pleasing as possible and our radon levels were cut down dramatically after just a few hours of running the system.
We had a fantastic experience with Radon Delete. The whole team was punctual, professional, and informative. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Radon Delete was fabulous! Wilson communicated frequently and professionally, and was upfront about costs and expectations. The staff did a great job of mitigating radon in our home with a clean, effective solution which matches the aesthetic of our house. Thank you!
Wilson, Nathan and Nick did a phenomenal job. Knowledgeable, capable, and talented in all aspects of the job and were truly a pleasure to work with.
Couldn’t be happier with the installation of our radon mitigation system. Thanks Wilson! I highly recommend them.
