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.
