Why radon remediation matters in Columbus
Radon is a gas that rises from the soil and can collect in a home. The EPA calls it the second leading cause of lung cancer, and says to test every home below the third floor (EPA Citizen's Guide).
Central Ohio sits in a high-risk area
The EPA's map puts Franklin County in Zone 1, its highest group (EPA map). The Ohio Department of Health says about 1 in 3 Ohio homes has an elevated level (ODH fact sheet). That is why we start every job with the number.
pCi/L is the EPA action level. Fix the home at or above it.
Wealthy or not, the soil does not care
A Columbus Dispatch test of 68 central Ohio homes found radon near or above dangerous levels in wealthy neighborhoods, public housing and rural areas (Dispatch report).
One fix fits most homes
With a modern system, the EPA says radon in most homes can be brought to 2 pCi/L or lower (EPA reduction guide).
