What happens if the radon testing is positive? Archway Home Inspections is fully-licensed and insured as a radon mitigation company and will provide you with the solutions to make your home safe once again. You may not be aware that the shell of your home attracts soil gases to it, so if you’re located near a high radon source, there’s a good possibility that a radon detector will show a positive reading. 

If you have a high radon level, Archway Home Inspections will create what is called a “sub-slab suction system” in your basement floor. They will cut a 4-6 inch hole in the floor, making room for the suction pit. A sealed PVC pipe will be secured in the suction point and then fed up to the exterior of your home, where a radon fan will be installed. The purpose of this mechanism is to depressurize the floor, creating a radon barrier. If there are any crawl spaces with dirt floors, a sheet of plastic will be placed over the dirt and sealed tight to prevent leakage. A suction pipe is then installed under the plastic to draw out the radon.

Lowering high radon levels requires technical knowledge and ability, and Archway Home Inspections has the experience and skills to efficiently clear your home before you move in. Call (513) 871-1473 today to set up your appointment or visit their website for more information on the home inspection services they provide.
