Senior Living vs. Single-Family Mitigation

Senior living mitigation often involves significantly more complexity than single-family homes.

The added complexity can occur in regulatory compliance, building dynamics assessment (especially stack effect and HVAC impacts), paperwork processes, system design, the installation process, general issue avoidance, and maintenance guidance.

Only a small percentage of the Midwest’s radon industry professionals are fully skilled in mitigation for senior living establishments. Selecting a firm with extensive commercial experience can be pivotal in achieving a problem-free installation of a cost-efficient, effective radon system.

Radon Mitigation FAQs for Senior Living Facilities

Below are our responses to common questions about radon mitigation in senior living settings. For further details, please get in touch with our team.

Senior living facility mitigation systems can be tricky. Inexperienced radon mitigation firms may design a system that isn’t as cost-effective or that’s not as aesthetically pleasing. Perhaps more importantly, they can make mistakes that could delay the process, incur cost overruns, increase occupant exposure, create insurance or litigation liabilities, add maintenance costs, or shortened the system’s lifespan. DuPage Radon Contractor’s team is exceptionally well-trained, ensuring you’ll be satisfied with the end result.

Radon is an invisible, odorless, cancer-causing radioactive gas. Radon’s alpha particles break the lung’s DNA chains, and if the body makes a mistake fixing it, lung cancer can occur after years of exposure. Radon mitigation can truly save lives and reduce the organization’s insurance and litigation risks.

By drilling into the substrate and installing a suction pit, a radon mitigation system creates a vacuum that pulls the gas toward a pipe, rather than letting it seep into the building. This air is then driven by an outdoor fan that runs 24 hours a day, carrying the radon through a vent stack that terminates above the roof. While this sub-floor suction handles the bulk of the work, some unique structures might also need enhanced air exchange or HVAC modifications to keep the indoor environment perfectly balanced.

We execute our installations efficiently to minimize disruption, coordinating with the facility’s schedule to ensure a seamless process. Overnight, evening, or weekend installations are available. Furthermore, barricades and protection screens can be utilized to protect occupants, and we can utilize unmarked trucks.

Duration varies by facility, but is managed efficiently to ensure a seamless transition to a safer environment.

After installation, radon testing is recommended to verify the radon mitigation system’s effectiveness. Moving forward, we recommend testing every two years – or using a continuous monitor – to verify the ongoing integrity and performance of the mitigation system.

Parts and installation typically have a five-year warranty.

Radon systems rely on the porosity and connectivity (between foundation areas) of the building’s substrate layer to maintain high efficiency levels. Blueprints give information on both of these qualities, sometimes enabling great cost savings by facilitating a reduction in the number of systems or suction points needed. It also helps better identify possible fan locations, impacting aesthetics.

Common locations include senior or elder care facilities, nursing homes, assisted living buildings, and mature living and/or other late life care or housing facilities.
