Why Should you Test your Home for Radon?

The Minnesota Department of Health advises homeowners to test for radon. Here’s why you should consider doing so:

Radon is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and radioactive.
Exposure to high levels of radon can increase the risk of lung cancer.
40% of Minnesota homes have elevated radon levels.
The average radon level in Minnesota is 4.5 pCi/L, which is three times the national average of 1.3.
Radon levels can be reduced in your home.

Contact Bauer Restoration today to schedule a radon test or to have a licensed technician assess and install a radon mitigation system. Reducing radon levels in your home is just a call away!

From our Customers

Everyone at Bauer was pleasant, prompt, and explained things very well. All my detailed questions were thoughtfully answered, and I found Bruce, Anna, and the work crew all very enjoyable to talk with. The onsite work was done carefully, quietly, skillfully, and on time. At completion, the system worked even better than predicted. Though radon mitigation is costly, I am very satisfied with the experience overall, and I am glad to know that my family is safer now. I highly recommend Bauer Restoration.

Bauer Restoration professionally installed a Radon Mitigation System in a house I was selling. They were promptly on site for our initial appointment. Everything was explained to me in a very understandable manner. No "techie" talk to confuse me. A bid was promptly delivered. A date for installation was set and on that date two installers arrived exactly on time. The work was completed and the results measured less than required. The installation areas were left clean. I will recommend Bauer Restoration to anyone I know needing their services. Thank you Bauer, for a job well done.

Bruce and his team at Bauer Restoration are great to work with. I had a radon mitigation system installed. During the entire time they were very professional, knowledgeable and responsive. They care about the work they do and it shows. Can't recommend them more highly and wouldn't hesitant to use them again myself.

What is Radon Mitigation?

Radon mitigation is the process of reducing radon gas levels in your home. At Bauer Restoration, we use specialized equipment to test for elevated radon levels. If your home has high radon levels, our EPA-certified technicians can install a system to bring them down. Radon is a radioactive gas produced by the natural breakdown of uranium in the soil. While small amounts are present in the air we breathe daily, the issue arises when radon gas enters and gets trapped in your home. Prolonged exposure to high radon levels can lead to lung cancer. The EPA recommends installing a radon mitigation system if levels are 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher.

How Does Radon Enter Your Home?

Source: Minnesota Department of Health

Soil is the main source of radon entering your home.
Radon enters your home several different ways. This can include cracks in concrete slabs, cracks in wall joints, open sump pump baskets and crawl spaces. Learn more about crawl space encapsulation here.
Differences in air pressure in the home and the soil can pull radon in through the different pathways.

Are radon levels in your home affected by the weather?

Certain weather events can alter radon levels in your home. Changing weather events such as rain, wind and cold weather can cause radon levels to rise or fall. With the change of pressure associated with different weather events, the way radon enters your home can fluctuate.

A weather event such as a rainstorm will lower the air pressure around your home allowing radon to enter through the soil much easier. Radon needs to find a way to escape and saturated soil from heavy rains makes it hard for radon to escape making your home the primary escape route.

High winds can create a vacuum around your home by decreasing the pressure around it. In most cases, in a high wind event, radon levels within your home can increase.

During the winter, as temperatures begin to fall, turning on the heat can cause radon levels to increase. Air being brought in to heat your home can be taken from the soil introducing radon to your home. Typically, radon levels within a home are higher during the winter because it doesn't have an escape route; open windows, etc.

Installing a radon mitigation system can help keep radon levels down during such weather events. Give Bauer Restoration a call today to schedule and estimate.
