Radon Myths – Debunked
- Radon is only a problem in homes with basements.
- FALSE - Radon is found in all home styles (basements, crawlspaces, walkouts, slab on grade, or combination).
- Only certain areas of the country have high radon levels.
- FALSE - Elevated radon levels have been found in all 50 states, and Colorado has the 7th highest in the country.
- The house next door tested low for radon, so my house shouldn't have a problem either.
- FALSE - The unique geology beneath every home and the individual finish characteristics contribute to high radon variability.
- Radon levels change so much that tests don't mean anything.
- FALSE - While there are diurnal and seasonal changes in radon levels, testing according to established EPA protocols is 94% accurate.
- Opening a window will lower radon levels in your home.
- FALSE - Opening windows on upper floors of a home can actually increase the "stack effect" and raise radon levels within the home.
- It is too expensive to fix a radon problem.
- FALSE - Radon mitigation systems are actually among the most affordable home improvement projects and far less expensive than medical interventions.
- No one really knows if radon causes lung cancer.

The delicate tissues within the lung are particularly vulnerable bombardment by the particulate alpha radiation that enters the lungs by inhaling radon and its decay products.

Quality work. Steven not only installed our mitigation system but did a great job explaining how everything works. His work reduced our radon levels well below the EPA level and he protected our family from harmful exposures. I highly recommend Manus Mitigation!Mike R.
I felt that Steven did an outstanding job administering the radon test and I was very pleased with Manus Mitigation's professional way of handling the entire process. Thanks again for your professional expertise and advice with our Radon issue.Rodger J.
Manus Mitigation did an excellent job testing and mitigating our primary residence and a rental property. In both cases, the mitigation system Steven and Brian installed was able to reduce the radon in the homes by more than 90% and the prices charged for the systems were very reasonable. I highly recommend Manus Mitigation for testing and mitigation.John G.
I appreciate Steven getting back to me quickly when I contacted him for a potential radon mitigation system install during a property transaction. Of the 4 or 5 radon professionals that I contacted to give me a bid, his was the the only bid I received and it very clearly outlined and explained the services to be provided. The timing was right, but the house was not, so the deal didn't go through. Nevertheless, the Manus Mitigation quote was very reasonable and Steven has earned my business.Jayme L.
