Why Radon Mitigation Matters
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into homes from the ground. It’s invisible, odorless, and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. The EPA recommends mitigation for homes with radon levels of 4.0 pCi/L or higher—and even levels between 2.0–4.0 pCi/L may pose risks over time.
Who Needs Radon Testing?
Radon testing isn’t just for home buyers—it’s essential for anyone who wants to ensure their indoor air quality is safe. You need radon testing and mitigation if you:
Own a home and rent it out
Own a home and occupy it yourself
Are a realtor helping clients buy or sell
Are a contractor remodeling or building new homes
Even if your neighbor’s home tested low for radon, yours could have elevated levels. Testing is the only way to be sure your home is safe.
How We Handle Radon Mitigation

- PVC Piping and Fan Setup to vent radon safely outside
- Sealing Cracks and Gaps with urethane caulking

Best Times for Radon Testing and Mitigation
According to The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (MeCDC), the best time for radon testing is during the colder months when homes are sealed tightly for heating. If you choose to test yourself, follow these MeCDC guidelines:
- When possible, test when your heat is on (during cooler months).
- Close all doors and windows for 12 hours before starting the test.
- Keep windows and doors closed during the test, except for normal coming and going.
- Place the testing bottles or canisters in the lowest livable area of the house—usually the basement.
If your home tests high for radon, don’t wait. Protect your family with professional radon mitigation from DB Air Quality.
