Radon Mitigation Middletown DE All homeowners in New Castle County should perform a radon test. You should have your radon test done by a licensed contractor. The test takes 24 hours and involves having a measuring device placed in your basement or on the lowest level of your Middletown, Delaware home. You must keep your windows and doors closed as much as possible during the test and run your air conditioner as little as possible. After the 24 hours is up, the Middletown DE contractor will return to retrieve the measuring device. You should get your test results in a couple of days, and if the levels of radon are too high, you should have a system installed to remove radon. |
In Middletown, Delaware a radon reduction system is recommended for any elevated radon screening. The most common system in New Castle County to remove radon involves PVC pipes and a small fan. In Middletown, the systems should be engineered by a skilled Delaware licensed contractor, and it usually costs several hundred to a thousand dollars. The way the system works is that a pipe or series of pipes runs from your basement or crawl space up through the floor and then out through the walls of your Middletown home to the outside. The fan that will remove radon is installed near the floor. As it turns, it propells the gas from the Delaware soil below and expels it through the pipes, up and out of your house. |
This process will remove radon and should keep levels below the acceptable Middletown DE level, although it is wise to have your home tested again to make sure everything is working properly. There are few other ways to remove radon. There are some things you can do on your own to try to remove radon from your Middletown, Delaware home. Keeping your windows open as much as possible can remove radon in your home or at least dilute the indoor concentrations. Installing a sump pump with drain tile can also remove radon, but in most cases in Middletown; this increases the radiation levels. When the sump pit is depressurized, it will draw the radon gas in and remove radon from your Delaware home. |
