RADON TESTING
Many home buyers don’t realize is that in addition to a home inspection, it’s also a good step to conduct radon testing inside the home. If someone owns their home but it has never been checked for radon -- No worries. It’s never “too late” to take care of this important health and safety precaution. We are radon professionals who are certified to perform radon tests. We use a radon kit to test for radon gas levels and radioactive particles in the home.
RADON EDUCATION
You may not be aware of it, but radon is a part of your life – regardless of you live. Radon is a naturally occurring odorless, colorless gas. It is produced when certain elements such as uranium and radium break down in the rocks and earth beneath homes and release radon gas. Radon gas is radioactive. Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Alaska is the U.S. state with the most exposure to radon.can cause lung cancer —
RADON MITIGATION
Radon mitigation, or radon abatement, as it is sometimes called, is a mechanical system or a set of steps to be taken that will reduce levels of radon in the home. It’s impossible to eliminate radon completely. However, a radon mitigation system works to expel the radioactive gas from the home, thereby keeping concentrations low. The costa of radon abatement is the primary reason why good real estate agents will often suggest a radon test before home purchase.
LAB TESTED LEVELS
At Anchorage Radon Testing and Mitigation, we are dedicated to providing our clients with the crucial testing results required to effectively protect your home and family from the effects of radioactive radon gas. We utilize only professional quality testing units and laboratory facilities. Our clients are able to obtain accurate and dependable radon monitoring levels from a single test unit. Our test kits and laboratories are approved and/or certified in Alaska and meet or exceed all Federal EPA standards. The testing and analyzing can take anywhere from 2 days to a year. These tests are 100% accurate unlike DIY testing kits.

RADON TESTING
Our inspection service involves the expertise of our trained professionals to assess and analyze radon levels in a home or building. Typically, a certified radon measurement technician is dispatched to the location, equipped with advanced testing tools. These may include electronic monitors or continuous radon monitors that provide real-time data.
The technician strategically places the devices in relevant areas, considering factors like ventilation and occupancy. Once the designated testing period ends, the equipment is retrieved and analyzed for accurate results.
Professional quality testing ensures precision and adherence to established scientific protocols. Anchorage Radon Testing & Mitigation will then provide a detailed report outlining radon locations, concentrations, and our recommendations for mitigation if necessary. Our professional ensure that you receive a comprehensive and reliable assessment.

RADON MITIGATION
Our professional radon mitigation involves the systematic reduction of radon levels in a home or building to ensure a safe indoor environment. Following our thorough radon testing, certified mitigation professionals design a custom tailored mitigation system based on the specific characteristics of the home or building. Common mitigation techniques often include the installation of a sub-slab depressurization system, ventilation improvements, or taking radon-resistant construction measures if necessary.
Our skilled technicians will implement these to effectively reduce radon concentrations. Our mitigation process typically includes sealing entry points, installing ventilation systems, and utilizing specialized fans to redirect and expel radon to the outdoors. We will monitor and test post-mitigation to verify and ensure the effectiveness of the measures taken. Working with Anchorage Radon Testing and Mitigation will ensure compliance with industry standards and government regulations. We provide peace of mind for occupants by reducing the health risks associated with radon exposure.

EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
Our radon mitigation process involves our professionals conducting an evaluation of the home or building to determine the appropriate strategy and tactics. We consider the foundation type, building size, and soil composition before recommending a system. The system itself includes a PVC pipe network, a radon fan, and various sealing components.
A hole is drilled into the foundation slab, and a PVC pipe is inserted, extending into the soil beneath. This creates a pathway for radon gas to be drawn away from the soil. We then install the radon fan in the PVC pipe to create negative pressure beneath the foundation, preventing radon from entering the living spaces.
The radon gas is vented above the roofline or to an unoccupied area outside for safe dispersion. A pressure-measuring device is installed to monitor the system's operation, providing visual confirmation of its effectiveness. Post-installation, our technicians do follow-up testing to confirm that radon levels have been successfully reduced.
