The basic concept of radon mitigation in Knoxville Tennessee can be defined as the process used to reduce concentrations of radon gas in the breathing areas of houses and buildings that are suitable for human occupancy. Any Knoxville, Tennessee homeowner or business owner can find simple radon testing "kits" at most major hardware stores in nearly any part of town to determine if radon mitigation is necessary. These kits also offer directions as a do-it-yourself (D.I.Y.) project. However, as simple as “reducing radon levels” sounds on paper or in a kit, radon mitigation in Knoxville TN is generally not recommended for the “average handyman” according to Health Association Agencies.

There are various methods of radon mitigation being used today in Knoxville Tennessee and are customized for each unique situation. Some of those radon mitigation methods include, but not limited to the following: Exterior installed radon mitigation systems, attic installed mitigation systems, passive radon mitigation systems (ventilation) for "crawlspaces", and active soil depressurization (ASD) radon mitigation systems for concrete-constructed foundations. All of these configurations are commonly used in Knoxville, Tennessee. If the question before the house of common sense is: "What are the benefits of radon mitigation", the answer is quite simple - radon reduction systems work! |
In many new homes in Knoxville Tennessee and throughout this country, the use of radon-resistant features can keep radon levels somewhat reduced, but “active” (fan assisted) apparatuses are much more consistently effective. |
Although elevated radon levels are fairly common in Knoxville Tennessee; red zones have the highest potential, orange zones moderate potential and yellow zones the lowest potential. Methods that a licensed radon mitigation contractor in Tennessee, Knoxville can use to lower radon levels in your home will vary depending on the seriousness of the situation and the makeup of the home. In fact, some radon mitigation techniques prevent radon from entering your home while others reduce levels after it has entered. Another caution regarding radon and radon mitigation is that Knoxville, TN homeowners should strongly consider correcting any radon problems prior to making preparations to sell their Knox County property. |

Doing this could often provide more time to address the radon mitigation conundrum. In Knoxville Tennessee, some inspections are also one of the requirements of a mortgage lender or bank in order to approve the loan. Finally, in many cases, just simple systems using underground pipes and a propelled exhaust fan may be used to reduce radon levels in Knoxville Tennessee houses. These types of systems are called "sub-slab depressurization (SSD)," and don't require any major structural changes to your home or building. The plus about using these radon mitigation systems is they can pretty much be used or installed to correct the contamination throughout the entire Knox County structure. 1-800-NO-RADON
