An important barrier for your safety...
THE importance of radon barrier protection can’t be overstated, particularly in certain parts of the county where the readings can be high. Radon comes from the radioactive deterioration of uranium in rocks and subsoils and discharges from the ground. This is why it’s important to hire the services of a contractor firm that knows exactly what it is doing.
The purpose of installing a radon barrier is to stop the leakage of radon inside of your home. All new homes must be installed with a radon pump to allow the build-up of gases under radon barriers to escape externally rather than up through the subfloor of the house. Ensuring that an airtight barrier (membrane) is used will significantly increase its effectiveness. A skilled installer will automatically assess the right amount of pressure required to seal an area, while also gauging the right amount of balance for ventilation. There are different types of products out there and your installer will be only too happy to talk you through the project.
Remember, having a radon barrier installed professionally provides safety and peace of mind.
