Radon Mitigation: Ensuring a Healthy Commercial Environment
Radon mitigation involves processes designed to reduce radon gas concentrations within the breathing zones of occupied buildings or from water supplies. Accomplish the mitigation of airborne radon through ventilation systems, either by collecting the gas below a concrete floor slab or a membrane on the ground, or by increasing the air changes per hour within the commercial structure. For water supplies, treatment systems utilizing aeration or activated charcoal are available to effectively remove radon.
If you suspect radon gas is impacting your commercial building, take immediate action. Aardvark Commercial Inspections can assist you by providing professional radon testing and a quote for the cost of a radon mitigation system for your commercial property. Detect a radon problem in your building with ease; we can perform a commercial inspection and conduct a radon test in as little as two days!
Understanding the Threat of Radon in Commercial Structures
Radon is an invisible and odorless radioactive gas, ranking as the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. This naturally occurring gas can exist at dangerous levels in your commercial building without detection by human senses. It typically seeps into the basement or crawlspace of your commercial structure through the soil. If left unaddressed, radon can accumulate to dangerous levels, posing serious health risks to occupants.
Key Facts About Radon and Commercial Properties

Invisible Hazard: Radon is an invisible and odorless radioactive gas that poses a significant health risk.
-
Widespread Presence: Unfortunately, the Midwest leads the U.S. in unsafe levels of this harmful gas, according to the EPA. Many states now require radon-resistant construction for new commercial buildings.
-
EPA Guidelines: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency states that radon causes up to 14 percent of all lung cancer deaths each year in the U.S.
