Radon Entry

Radon gas is being released by each soil granule under the home. This gas becomes part of the air under the home. Warm air rising in all buildings causes a somewhat consistent vacuum in the lower parts of the building to pull radon into living spaces from the soil. Furnace & air conditioning systems then distribute this air through the structure.

These facts help answer most questions regarding testing fluctuations and repair methods.

Uranium/Radium in the soil is virtually a constant source of radon gas. Changing pressures in the home are typically responsible for "day to day" or "season to season" fluctuations in radon levels. These fluctuations are usually minor.

 

Radon is not merely coming from large openings like a sump pit.

Radon is sucked inward from the soil through many openings including gaps smaller than your eyes can see.

Other Sources (i.e. Granite or Water):
In more rare instances (especially for our area), the source of radon can be from radon in drinking water or Uranium/Radium in building materials (such as radon from granite countertops).

FIXING radon typically entails actively controlling soil air to stop radon gas from coming in.
