How to keep radon levels low in Des Plaines, IL?
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban recommends these actions you can take to reduce your risks of lung cancer and help lower radon levels in your home:
- Seal cracks in floors and walls with plaster, caulk, or other materials designed for this objective.
- Always test radon levels again every 2 years after you’ve made any of these changes to ensure these actions reduced the radon levels.
- Increase air flow in your home by opening windows and using fans and vents to circulate air. However, natural ventilation in any type of house is only a temporary strategy to reduce radon.
- You can cover the ground floor in crawl-spaces with a vapor barrier plastic sheet. A vent pipe and fan can be used to blow the radon from under the sheet and carry it above and beyond your house.
