Definition of the term Radon System
What is a Radon System?
A Radon System, also known as a Radon Mitigation System or Radon Remediation System, refers to the set of practices and equipment used to reduce indoor levels of radon gas. Radon is an odorless, tasteless, and invisible radioactive gas that naturally occurs in the soil and rocks. It is a known carcinogen, meaning it can cause cancer when inhaled at high concentrations over extended periods.
A Radon System is designed to prevent radon gas from entering a property or to remove it if already present. It typically consists of several components, including a vent pipe, fan, and an exhaust system. The vent pipe is usually installed beneath the foundation or in the crawl space of a building. The fan creates a negative pressure that draws radon gas from the soil and redirects it outside. The exhaust system ensures that the gas does not reenter the property.
Why is Radon System Installation Important?
The installation of a Radon System is crucial for maintaining a healthy indoor environment. Radon gas can seep through cracks and gaps in the foundation, exposing occupants to high radon levels. Prolonged exposure to radon increases the risk of lung cancer, particularly in non-smokers.
