Radon Solutions
What do I do if I have high radon levels?
If you have completed a radon test and have discovered that the radon levels in your home are above safe levels, we will work to ensure the level of radon in your home is quickly diminished.
​
How does Point-The-Way reduce the radon levels in my home?
Some common methods used to reduce radon to safe levels include:
-
Active Sub-Slab Depressurization
-
Active Sub-Membrane Depressurization
-
Crawl Space Depressurization
-
Sump-Hole Depressurization
​
All methods used also include sealing major entry routes for radon, which may include: open sumps, floor drains, service entry points into the building, exposed soil, cracked concrete and cold joints. An onsite survey which is completed during the quote process can locate many of these issues and will be included as part of your entire radon reduction system.
​
Another mitigation technique we may recommend is installing a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) or energy recovery ventilator (ERV) which, through increased ventilation, will help to reduce the levels of radon in your home.

Our certified professionals will discuss the best options to help keep you and your family safe.
