Radon Gas Mitigation Photo Album: The Installation of a Radon Mitigation System in Okotoks, AB
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that has become the second-leading cause of lung cancer, second only to cigarette smoke. Most soils contain uranium that, over time, decays to produce radium and polonium. Eventually, polonium is released with the radon, which creates a high toxicity level in the air and water that it infuses.
This homeowner in Okotoks, Alberta contacted us concerned about high levels of radon gas found in the home. In search of the best solution to address their concern, and protect their health & home, the homeowners contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist was able to visit the homeowner, assess the situation and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote for a solution that will mitigate the incoming radon. From there our Radon Mitigation Specialist was able to install a sub-slab Radon Gas Mitigation System which draws the gas from beneath the basement floor slab and vent it outside of the home.
