The test takes 24 hours and involves having a measuring device placed in your basement or on the lowest level of your Saint Marys, Pennsylvania 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 Saint Marys PA 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 Saint Marys, Pennsylvania a radon reduction system is recommended for any elevated radon screening. The most common system in Elk County to remove radon involves PVC pipes and a small fan. In Saint Marys, the systems should be engineered by a skilled Pennsylvania 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 Saint Marys home to the outside. The fan that will remove radon is installed near the floor. As it turns, it propells the gas from the Pennsylvania soil below and expels it through the pipes, up and out of your house. |
