The Process of Removing Radon

Se arch all homes for sale In our last blog we discussed the problem with radon in homes, specifically in our local area. Today we'll be going over the process of radon remediation. To do this, we're filming in the basement of a home that went beyond typical radon readings. I'm back with Gary from Radon Be Gone and he's going to show us the process. The process starts by drilling a large hole into the concrete in the basement. This forms a suction pit so that all of the radon gas and other soil gases can be drawn out of the basement. A large pipe is then run through the home into the rooftop where it is blown out of the home via a fan at the end of the pipe in the attic. The fan itself is lightweight, energy-efficient, and relatively noise-free. They last anywhere from 10-15 years. It will cost roughly $75 per year to power. We want to remind you that we're doing this video because roughly 20% of the homes in Idaho Falls have higher percentages of radon gas than the EPA allows. The levels of radon get worse as you head north, so be sure to contact us if you feel the need to test your home. As always, please don't hesitate to contact me if you need any assistance with real estate in Idaho Falls. I look forward to hearing from you!
