Welcome to ART of Radon

 Advanced Removal & Testing of Radon Experts

Advanced Removal & Testing (ART) of Radon is one of only a handful of EPA-certified Radon testing and mitigation (reduction of Radon gas in your home) firms in the Saint Cloud, MN area.  This means we are held to a high standard - that's good for you and your health.

​In May 2015 Minnesota legislature was passed that will require licenses to conduct Radon testing and mitigation starting in January 1, 2019. Why wouldn't you want someone already certified to these standards? Protect your family ensure your specialist is certified that conducts all Radon work. Check our licenses, information here.

Radon (A Dangerous Invisible and Odorless Gas)

Radon is a natural occurring gas that is potentially building up in your home. A home is required to have a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector yet more people die per year from Radon than from fires and carbon dioxide combined . Review our THREAT OF RADON information to understand it effect on your and your family.

Testing

It is becoming common practice and highly recommended to have your home tested prior to purchasing. It is also recommended to have your home tested every 2 years even with a mitigation system installed due to the many variables that can change over the years to ensure your families health.

Recommended Radon Levels

By EPA and Surgeon General standards, if Radon levels above 4 pCi/L are measured a Radon mitigation system should be installed.

• The World Health Organization recommended action level above 2.7 pCi/L.
• ART of Radon strives to achieve a level below 2.0 pCi/L. Typically ART of Radon achieves levels at or below 0.4 pCi/L with typical methods but not guaranteed. Some scenarios require more aggressive techniques. 

Mitigation

While reaching a level of 0.0 pCi/L is very difficult ART of Radon will work with you in your budget to provide the best system possible.ART of Radon will design a radon reduction system as an integral part of your home. We strive to provide options that will meet your budget and expectations as best possible. 
​
Main Radon Mitigation Technique:

• Sub-Slab depressurization - Through proper design and installation, air is suctioned from below your foundation and draws the Radon filled gas through a pipe to a safe exhaust location where it quickly and safely disperses in open air.
• Active drain tile depressurization - is very similar technique which utilizes perforated drains under your foundation to expand the suction area. 

Other Techniques with low performance or high costs:

• Sub slab pressurization
• Basement pressurization
• Sealing (Any cracks should be seal)
• Dilution / Ventilation & Air Cleaning​

For my families sake, I am glad I had my home tested for Radon. We had a reading of 17 pCi/L before mitigation. After mitigation we had a reading of less than 0.4 pCi/L. Thanks ART of Radon!
