Radon Gas Mitigation Photo Album: Potentially High Levels of Radon Gas Worries Homeowner in NW Calgary, AB
This homeowner in NW Calgary, Alberta contacted us wanting to test his radon levels in his home. 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. In search of a Certified Radon Mitigation Professional, he contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist was able to visit the home and provide him with a FREE, no obligation quote to have a test done as well as a mitigation system installed. From there one of 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. Now the homeowner can rest easy knowing he has the best solution in place to bring the Radon Levels down.
