MITIGATION SERVICES

When you contact NE RADON DOCTORS, I will advise you on the steps it takes to test and if necessary reduce the radon levels in the air and water in your home. I offer a free evaluation and will typically be able to leave you with a written estimate on site. I provide airborne and waterborne radon mitigation services through several different methods. All systems are custom designed to meet your needs. Please call me, Ed Lewis today with any questions or to set up an in home appointment.

A typical air radon removal method is the Active Soil Depressurization system. With this system we core a 3 to 4 inch hole in the foundation floor and excavate a small suction pit under the floor. A pvc pipe is sealed to the hole and run to the out side of the home. A suction fan is attached to the pipe. This fan produces a negative pressure under the floor and the radon gas is drawn to the fan and exhausted out of the home.

HRV, or Heat Recovery Ventilator is also a radon removal option in older homes and homes where Active Soil Depressurization is unlikely to be successful These systems bring in a continuous supply of fresh air and exhaust contaminated air.

Every home is different, I have the experience to remove the radon from any home.

Radon in water can be effectively reduced using one of two methods: aeration treatment or granular activated charcoal.

Aeration involves spraying the water or mixing it with air and then venting the radon. Granular activated charcoal systems filter the water through a charcoal bed. The radon is retained in the charcoal and the water leaves the charcoal tank relatively free of radon. The charcoal needs to be replaced on a regular basis.

In both of these treatment methods, it is important to treat the water where it enters the home. Trying to treat the water at the kitchen sink, for instance, would not be effective in reducing the amount of radon that enters the home. It is important to properly maintain home water treatment systems according to manufacturer's recommendations since failure to do so can lead to other water contamination problems. Aeration systems cost approximately $2500-$3500. Charcoal systems cost approximately $1,000 - $1,500.

If you want to estimate how much of the radon in the air is caused by radon in the water, use the following rule of thumb. For every 10,000 pCi/L of radon in the water, 1 pCi/L would be emitted into the air. For example, if there is 40,000 pCi/L in the water, this will contribute about 4 pCi/L to the air.

WELL WATER QUALITY ISSUES

We can also help with various well water quality issues. PH, Bacteria, Hard & Soft water and Arsenic systems . Please feel free to e mail your water report to us and we can make recommendations.

The EPA does not consider GAC systems the Best Available Technology (BAT) for waterborne
radon removal due to the performance issues and the potential for radionuclide (gamma) buildup
on the carbon beds. Furthermore, the EPA does not recommend the use of carbon filtration for
waterborne radon levels exceeding 5,000 pCi/L. GAC STUDY
