Radon Mitigation

Radon is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer. Today many homes have finished basements and in these basements are bedrooms that their kids may sleep in or family rooms or media rooms where kids are playing and growing up in. Why take the risk? Test , if it is high then fix. Do not let your family take that risk. Tell your family, friends and neighbors. Test for Radon

worked for us

We had radon levels over 75 and decided to install a fan that pulled air from the concrete cinder blocks in our basement. It worked great, now our level is consistently under 2!!! Here is the kind of fan we used: RadonAway DynaVac HS5000 Radon Suction Vent 120VAC http://r.ebay.com/PKN2Vs
