Radon Gas Poisoning Symptoms
Although the only way to tell if your home has high radon levels is to test for it, it's essential to know radon gas poisoning symptoms. Some of the most common radon poisoning symptoms to be aware of include:
- Frequent bronchitis and pneumonia infections
- Persistent chest pain
- Cough or coughing up blood
- Hoarseness
- Wheezing
- Shortness of breath
What Happens If Radon Levels Are High?
If we locate high levels of radon, we'll explain your options. High radon levels can be mitigated with professional assistance, including:
Active Soil Depressurization (ASD)
A vent pipe system and a fan pull radon from beneath the house and vent it outside.
Sealing Cracks and Openings
Sealing problematic areas prevents radon from seeping into the home.
Installing a Radon Mitigation System
Radon-specific systems continuously work to reduce indoor levels.
Maintaining a Radon-Free Environment
We understand many people don't think about radon poisoning daily. The best way to safeguard your property against radon issues include:
- Conduct follow-up tests every two years, even if previous tests show safe levels.
- Test your home after any major structural changes.
- Regularly inspect and maintain radon mitigation systems.
