What Our Clients Are Saying

Regardless of the size or type of your structure, radon testing is an important, and often overlooked, step in assuring the general health of its occupants. Radon, the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, is a radioactive natural gas that results from the breakdown of uranium into radium and radon. Uranium is present throughout bedrock and ledge, and since much of the State of Maine is shallow to bedrock, Maine tends to have high radon levels. Exposure to radon occurs by two specific means: the air you breathe and the water you drink. Radon can enter a building by natural vacuums caused by the building and its heating system. Radon is pulled into a water supply well as groundwater passes over bedrock that contains radon. The only way to know if radon is present is to test for it in the air and in the well water, if using a private well.

Radon Mitigation is the process of removing radon (or its source) before it enters the building. This process can be completed in a variety of ways. Radon in air is typically mitigated through creating a larger vacuum on the sub foundation soil than what the building above is inducing. This allows the radon gas to vent to the atmosphere and bypass the building interior. Water systems remove the radon through bubble aeration or activated carbon filtration. Each type of system requires post mitigation testing to ensure levels have been adequately reduced. CES employs State of Maine Registered Radon Service Providers and State of Maine Certified Radon Mitigators.
