Why Do You Need a Radon Mitigation System?
Radon is a Deadly Gas

Radon Company Reviews
Is Radon a Problem in West Virginia?
Radon in West Virginia is a serious problem that impacts thousands of families all over the state. 36% of homes in West Virginia has Radon levels above what the EPA recommends as “safe” or where you should begin to take action. There are several factors that cause elevated levels of this deadly gas, but there is no way of telling if you are being impacted unless you test for it. Radon is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas that can only be detected through the use of a Radon test. Homeowners in Morgantown should arm themselves with knowledge of Radon gas and how to protect their loved ones from it. The below chart shows counties in WV with red counties being over the 4.0 pCi/L EPA action level. Although Radon problems in West Virginia are more common that most homeowners realize, they can be easily fixed in order to keep your home safe.
There are several factors that can cause high levels of Radon gas in a home:
- Basements and crawl spaces are abundant in WV homes. These are perfect places for Radon gas particles to get trapped and condense. Radon levels are typically highest in the basement of a home.
- The ground underneath homes in West Virginia is constantly moving due to the mountainous terrain. Just because your home is newly built does not mean the Radon level is low.
- Fracking can impact Radon levels by constantly shifting the terrain. This means that homeowners in Morgantown should test their homes for Radon every two years.
- Climate also plays a role in the Radon level of a home. In Morgantown, the climate is inconsistent and fluctuations in temperature can lead to fluctuations in Radon gas levels.
Steps to Fixing Radon in Your Home
Testing for Radon is the only way to know if your home is being impacted by the deadly gas. We recommend that you purchase a Radon monitoring device online that you can use to get an accurate reading. You can also have a Radon professional conduct testing but this will only give you a one-time reading. As Radon levels can change throughout seasons, we believe purchasing your own monitor is a more cost effiecent option.
The EPA recommends action at all Radon levels above 4.0 pCi/L, but no level of Radon is safe for you and your family. After our Radon professionals review your level and the damage it can cause, it is up to you on what you want the next action to be.
If you want to bring your home’s Radon levels down, a Radon mitigation, or Radon removal, system is the best option. The type of system you need will depend on your home’s basement type and Radon level.
The EPA recommends testing for radon once every two years. This is good practice to ensure that your home’s Radon levels have not fluctuated too much.
All of our fans at RMM come with a 5 year warranty, but will typically last much longer than that. However, other Radon companies do not use the same quality of products that we do and your system may need maintenance sooner than you may realize.
Radon FAQ
Radon poses a lot of questions. Our Radon professionals have seen it all so we have compiled a list of our FAQs about Radon to answer your questions. If you have a question that is not listed, please give us a call and a Radon specialist will help give you an answer. If you would like to add a question to our Radon FAQ, please submit a form on the side of the page.
Does Radon cause cancer?
Yes, Radon causes lung cancer. Long-term exposure of Radon gas will cause Radon particles to break down the inner lining of the lungs cells. Radon particles in the lungs give off radiation, which over time, can cause cancer. Radon is recognized as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, next to cigarette smoking. 21,000 people die every year from Radon induced lung cancer.
How do I know if I have Radon in my home?
Since Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas, the only way to know if you have Radon in your home or basement is to test for it. Radon testing is easy and inexpensive.
What is a safe Radon level?
There is no “safe” level of Radon gas since any amount is harmful. Radon cannot be completely removed from the air, only reduced. The EPA set an acceptable level of 4.0 pCi/L while WHO recommends below 2.7 pCi/L. In short, the lower your radon level, the better, and the less risk you have to lung cancer.
How do I test for Radon?
Radon testing is an easy and inexpensive process. You can set up a “do it yourself” Radon test kit, but testing with a professional will give you more accurate results as they typical will use a CRM or Continuous Radon Monitor. Results can be given in as short as 48 hours or you can have a long term test done over the course of 90 days to a year.
Do new homes need tested for Radon?
Any home, no matter how recent it was built, should be tested for Radon. Most newly constructed homes are NOT tested for Radon. Some new homes are built with passive Radon systems, but these systems are not nearly as effective as a Radon mitigation system installed by a professional. Levels in a home are largely determined by soil conditions and the air pressure between your house and the ground below it.
How much does a Radon mitigation system cost?
80% of homes can be tested for less than $1,300. However, depending on the size of your home, the current levels of Radon, the system may require a better fan or more suction points in order to get the house down to safer levels. Radon companies will typically give a free estimate to determine how much the system will cost. However, the cheapest price does not always ensure that a quality system will be installed.
If my neighbor tested low for Radon, do I still need to test?
A common misconception is that if your neighbor has tested low for Radon, then your home will not need to be tested. Unfortunately, homes that are even next door to each other can have drastically different results. Avoid the risk and take the time to test your own house for Radon.
How often should you test for Radon?
The EPA recommends that you test your home for Radon once every two years. However, Radon levels will fluctuate in a house during the calendar year. To get an accurate reading, have your home tested during both the winter and summer seasons.
Where does Radon come from?
Radon comes from the breakdown of uranium in the soil. Which means that Radon is literally everywhere. In homes, Radon is most prominent in the basement due to it being a dense noble gas.
Are Radon removal systems ugly?
Premium Radon companies will build you custom-built Radon removal systems that will tie into the beauty of your home. Radon systems are typically placed in the back of the house, but can also be placed inside the home, but this often costs more than a normal system. If you have a newer home, you may have a passive system which can then cheaply be converted to an active one. Active radon systems are more effective than passive ones.
