Radon Testing and Mitigation Services | EHI Inspection Services

EHI Inspection Services provides professional radon testing and radon mitigation services designed to protect your home and family from the dangers of elevated radon levels. This is especially important in Ohio, where geological conditions often lead to higher indoor radon concentrations.

Professional Radon Testing

Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that can only be detected through proper testing. While at-home radon test kits are a good starting point, they often provide limited or inconsistent results due to placement, weather conditions, and testing duration.

For accurate and reliable results, EHI Inspection Services recommends testing conducted by a Certified Radon Measurement Professional (CRM). Professional radon testing allows us to:

  • Accurately measure indoor radon levels

  • Evaluate how your home’s foundation, airflow, and soil conditions affect radon entry

  • Determine whether radon mitigation is necessary before any system is installed

This step ensures you fully understand your radon levels before moving forward.

Radon Mitigation Explained

If elevated radon levels are identified, radon mitigation may be recommended. Most radon mitigation systems work by:

  • Installing a sub-slab or sub-membrane depressurization system

  • Creating negative pressure beneath the home

  • Venting radon gas safely above the roofline

The goal of radon mitigation is to reduce indoor radon levels to below the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L, improving indoor air quality and long-term health safety.

Not All Homes Can Be Safely Mitigated

While radon mitigation is effective in many homes, not every home can be safely or effectively mitigated. Factors such as foundation type, construction methods, and site conditions may limit mitigation options. EHI Inspection Services provides honest evaluations and will clearly explain your options if mitigation is not feasible.

Monitoring and Maintaining Radon Levels

Ohio Radon Testing & Mitigation Services | EHI Inspection Services

EHI Inspection Services provides professional radon testing and radon mitigation services in Ohio, helping homeowners protect their families from elevated radon levels. Ohio’s soil and geological conditions place many homes at higher risk for radon exposure, making proper testing and mitigation essential.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established an action level of 4.0 pCi/L for radon. Many homes throughout Ohio exceed this level. If your home’s radon test results are above the EPA action level, taking prompt action is critical. Installing a radon reduction system is the most effective way to reduce radon levels and protect against the harmful effects of this radioactive gas, which is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.

Professional Radon Testing in Ohio

Radon is colorless, odorless, and undetectable without testing. While at-home radon test kits can be a helpful first step, they often provide limited information and can be affected by testing conditions.

For accurate and reliable results, EHI Inspection Services recommends testing performed by a Certified Radon Measurement Professional (CRM). Professional radon testing allows us to:

  • Accurately measure radon levels in Ohio homes

  • Evaluate foundation types, airflow, and soil conditions

  • Determine whether radon mitigation is necessary before installation

Radon Mitigation System Maintenance

Maintaining a radon reduction system is important—and typically simple. Many Ohio homeowners assume they no longer have radon because a mitigation system was installed when the home was purchased. However, the presence of a system means elevated radon levels were previously identified. Knowing the original radon level and verifying that the system continues to keep levels below 4.0 pCi/L is essential.

Monitoring Your Radon Reduction System

Factors such as extended power outages or a malfunctioning radon fan can cause radon levels to rise. Homeowners may consider installing an audible system alarm to alert them to power loss or fan failure.

All radon reduction systems installed by EHI Inspection Services include a micromanometer or U-tube with colored liquid (red, blue, or green). This simple device allows homeowners to confirm that airflow is present and the system fan is operating. If the liquid levels are equal, it may indicate a problem. Our team can assist with troubleshooting or help coordinate repairs with the original radon mitigation contractor.

Ongoing Radon Testing for Ohio Homes

Even with a properly functioning radon mitigation system, we recommend radon testing every two years. Retesting ensures the system continues to operate effectively and radon levels remain low. Additional testing is strongly recommended after:

  • Home renovations

  • Foundation or structural changes

  • HVAC system modifications
