Mitigation of VOCs, Vapors, Chemicals & More

Vapor Intrusion Mitigation in the midwest & chicago suburbs

Vapor intrusion indicates that harmful, non-radon chemical vapors are emerging into occupied spaces of a building. These chemicals often reach the substrate due to spills or leakage at a dry cleaner, fuel station or manufacturing site. DuPage Radon Contractors is one of the few Midwest firms adept at mitigation for VOCs, vapors, TVOCs, SVOCs, toxic fumes, dry cleaner fluids, noxious gases, chemicals, gasoline, diesel fuel, and degreasers.

Why Is Mitigation Important in VOC-heavy Facilities?

Vapor intrusion sources may include, or be referred to as, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), dry cleaning fluid, TVOCs, SVOCs, toxic fumes, noxious gases, trichloroethylene, naphthalene, benzene, chemicals of concern (COC), perchloroethylene (perc), gasoline, diesel fuel, degreasers, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, or other source terminology.

Molecular Structure of VOCs for Radon Mitigation

VOC VS. RADON MITIGATION

VOC mitigation often utilizes substrate depressurization techniques similar to radon mitigation. Yet, the stakeholders, the paperwork, the installation process, the performance verification, and even the system’s design can be different. Selecting a mitigator skilled in VOCs (not just radon mitigation) helps ensure issues are avoided and the project is successful.

Smooth Running Projects

Over the years, we have integrated specialized capabilities designed to reduce the chance of radon mitigation project issues or delays.

Redundant
Capacity

Being larger, DuPage Radon Contractors has backup vehicles, a cross-trained team, and a fully stocked warehouse helping us avoid delays due to backordered parts, vehicle breakdowns, or personnel issues.

Team
Multi-Review

More eyes means less issues and fewer delays.

With multiple experts on staff, DuPage Radon Contractors can employ extensive reviews, catching any issues quickly and finding more efficient options for your needs.

Exceptionally
Equipped

Sub-slab issue avoidance and proper diagnostics often require expensive equipment. DuPage Radon Contractors has an unusually extensive array of resources, including ground-penetrating radar, blower doors, grab samplers, anemometers, continuous monitors, and more.

Regulation
Compliance Expertise

Regulation compliance can be tricky. DuPage Radon Contractors are experts at ensuring your radon system meets applicable state radon regulations, national standards, building codes, and/or mortgage industry rules.

Mitigation FAQs for VOC-Heavy Environments

Below are frequently asked questions about our mitigation services in VOC-heavy facilities. For more detailed responses, please reach out to us.

Vapor intrusion mitigation can be tricky. Radon mitigation firms that only occasionally complete vapor intrusion services may make mistakes that could delay the process, incur cost overruns, increase occupant exposure, increase insurance or litigation liabilities, add maintenance costs, or shorten system lifespan.

Vapor intrusion mitigation can address sources referred to as: volatile organic compounds (VOCs), dry cleaning fluid, TVOCs, SVOCs, toxic fumes, noxious gases, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethene (PCE), methylene chloride, naphthalene, benzene, chemicals of concern (COC), perchloroethylene (perc), gasoline, diesel fuel, degreasers, mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, and other sources. An environmental consulting/testing firm can determine if your issue is able to be resolved by soil depressurization techniques.

Typically, testing (like a Phase 2 (or II) assessment) has revealed chemicals entering the building that are harmful to occupants. Continued occupancy may require mitigation of those chemicals of concern (COC).

We install a system (often co-designed with an environmental engineer) that uses pipes, fans, and floor piercings, to suction the soil under the building and redirect those vapors to the outside to dissipate with the air. The system is designed and tested to harmonize with existing facility stack effect and airflow dynamics.

Our systems exceed industry-specific health standards, ensuring your facility meets all legal and safety regulations.

Installations are meticulously planned to minimize disruption, coordinating with facility managers to maintain business operations.

Timeframes vary, but are managed with efficiency, ensuring quick adaptation and continued operation.

Typically, pre- and post-testing is performed by an environmental testing agency.

Our designs adapt to any architectural challenges, ensuring seamless and effective system operation.

Common locations include dry cleaners, laundromats, gas stations, fuel stations, chemical plants, manufacturing facilities, storage warehouses, degreasing facilities, and refineries.
