Radon is a radioactive, invisible, odorless, and naturally-occurring element forming from uranium decay in rocks, water, and soil all over the country. The only way to detect this hazardous gas is through radon testing. If your home has high radon levels, you will need a qualified professional to provide reliable mitigation strategies to create a safer environment.
High radon levels have contributed to as many as 15,400 to 21,800 deaths yearly and are as cancer-causing as tobacco smoke and asbestos. And if household members have asthma, respiratory issues, or are immunocompromised, radon symptoms can worsen these problems.
Not sure if your house has radon gas? Schedule a radon test! Our specialists can help identify this invisible radioactive gas in your home using a continuous radon detector. If concentrations of the gas are above 4 pCi/L, we can design and install a radon mitigation system to help reduce levels and keep your family safe.

Before installing a radon mitigation system, Oak Leaf Environmental will assess your home, ensuring you get a complete solution that will reduce radon levels in your property.
Our radon test & consultation:
The stack effect is the natural movement of pulling air upward from lower levels of the home to your living space and out through the attic and upper levels. With air movement, radon gas is also pulled into living spaces and circulated through the house.
To prevent radon movement, we depressurize the soil beneath your structure.
After, our specialist drills a hole into the foundation slab, basement floor, or surrounding earth, creating a suction point. Some homes may need multiple holes and suction points. Then we connect a PVC pipe where radon gas will travel through the house or outside.
We vent radon gas through a pipe, running it through a fan in the attic or along the top of the structure. The system then expels radon outside and away from your home.
Our specialists seal all radon entryways, including cracks, gaps, and openings, with a polyurethane caulking compound to prevent the gas from continuing to seep into the house.
After the radon mitigation system installation, our specialist performs a final inspection, ensuring it operates according to current industry standards, confirms the fan functions, and checks other key system details.
After we install your radon mitigation system, our specialists perform a test using a continuous radon detector within 30 days of completion. Radon testing ensures that the system maintains radon gas at recommended concentrations.
