RADON TESTING & MITIGATION IN NORTHERN UTAH

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It's invisible, odorless, and tasteless—and it can accumulate to dangerous levels inside homes and buildings. Long-term exposure to high radon levels is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S.

The only way to know your radon levels is to test. Radon cannot be detected without a specialized test, which can be done with DIY kits or through professional testing services. The EPA recommends testing all homes, especially in high-risk areas.

Short-term tests typically take 2 to 7 days, while long-term tests monitor radon levels for 90 days or more. Professional testing services like Utah Radon Removal can provide quicker and more accurate results using continuous radon monitors.

If your home or building tests at or above 4.0 pCi/L (picocuries per liter), the EPA recommends mitigation. Utah Radon Removal is a licensed radon mitigation contractor and we can install a system in your home or business, usually a sub-slab depressurization system that vents radon gas safely outside.

Yes. Radon can affect homes and buildings of any age, size, or foundation type. Even brand-new homes built with energy-efficient, airtight construction can trap radon inside. Testing is essential no matter how new or old the structure is.
