Along with being a leading cause of lung cancer, prolonged exposure to radon, especially high levels of radon, has been linked to more than 20,000 annual deaths.

These factors greatly concerned the homeowners, and they wanted to make sure the house would be a safe living environment. After finding information about Ohio Basement Authority online, they were eager to contact us to learn more about how we could help them. They met with one of our inspectors who explained our company’s mitigation procedures.

The owners then wanted to move forward with having one of our crews install a radon mitigation system in their home to lower the home’s levels as much as possible. In order to draw radon from the home, suction points need to be created. We used the existing sump pump system, as radon can enter homes through this area. A domed and sealed lid was placed on top of the sump pump system, and ventilation pipes were secured to the lid. We also created another suction point by placing ventilation pipes in the encapsulated crawl space.

The interior ventilation pipes were then directed to the home’s exterior. There, they connected to a fan unit that was mounted to the side of the house. This fan is integral in properly ventilating radon out of the home. Additional ventilation pipes were attached to the top of the fan unit and directed up the side of the house and past the roof. This ensures the proper expulsion of radon from the home.

The homeowners now have peace of mind knowing this trustworthy repair has helped them create a safe and healthy home for the next owners.

After living in their house for 11 years, homeowners in Westerville, OH, were beginning the process of selling their home. They wanted to make sure it would be a safe and healthy living environment for the next owners, so they wanted to take the proper steps in addressing any problems.

They were particularly concerned with the level of radon in the house and how it could affect its health and resale value.

Radon is a naturally occurring gas produced by uranium decay in rocks and soil. It is common throughout the country, especially in Ohio. Exposure to this deadly gas results in more than 20,000 deaths each year, and it is the second-leading cause of lung cancer. Radon is colorless, odorless and tasteless, making it difficult to detect without the proper testing.

The owners contacted Ohio Basement Authority after learning more about us through online resources like Home Advisor. One of our certified radon specialists tested the home, and the results indicated the level was 21 pCi/L (picocuries per liter). This is five times higher than the level at which radon mitigation systems are strongly recommended for homes, which is 4 pCi/L.

One of our expert crews installed a radon mitigation system to pull radon from within the home and ventilate it outside. A sealed and domed lid was placed on the existing sump pump to prevent radon intrusion.

The owners now have peace of mind knowing this reliable installation has helped create a safer home for future owners.

Almost one year after Ohio Basement Authority installed permanent basement waterproofing and foundation repair solutions for homeowners in Columbus, OH, they eagerly contacted us again to address another issue.

The owners were concerned with the home’s radon levels. Because they were in the process of selling their home, they wanted to ensure its resale value and health.

Radon is a product of uranium decay in rocks and soil. While this colorless, odorless, naturally occurring gas is present across the country, it is a silent killer. Radon is linked to more than 20,000 deaths each year, and it is just as cancer causing as smoking.

After testing the owners’ home, the results indicated the radon levels were 4.5 pCi/L (picocuries per liter). This is just slightly higher that the level at which radon mitigation systems are recommended for homes, which is 4 pCi/L.

To be on the safe side and make every effort to get the home’s radon levels as low as possible, we installed a radon mitigation system to safely pull radon from the home and ventilate it outside.

The homeowners are excited to have this reliable system in the house to create a healthier living environment for the next owners.
