When a homeowner in Winder, GA, identified elevated radon levels in their unfinished basement, they chose Georgia Radon Defense (GRD) to address the issue. After conducting two tests that both revealed concerning radon levels of 18.3 pCi/L, the decision to mitigate was clear. GRD implemented an effective radon mitigation system, reducing the radon levels to 3.8 pCi/L. The meticulous installation process ensured minimal disruption while achieving significant results. If you're considering remodeling or just want to ensure a safer environment, contact GRD today to discuss how we can help reduce radon risks in your home.
Georgia Radon Defense was contacted by the management company of a local apartment complex after several of their units tested high for radon. Over ten units came back with levels exceeding the EPA's action limit of 4.0 pCi/L. After devising a comprehensive mitigation plan, we promptly dispatched our technicians, Trent and Adorian, to install the necessary mitigation systems.
Post-mitigation test revealed that radon levels in all of the units decreased below the EPA's action limit.

Radon mitigations systems don't have to be ugly! Sometimes the best looking installation is through the roof. This slab home was completely finished on the interior with very few options for installing an extraction point. (There were none at the back of the home.) The homeowner agreed that the best thing to do was to route the piping into and up through the garage. The exterior piping is only visible from the neighbor's yard.

We installed a radon mitigation system for a homeowner in Athens, GA that was planning on finishing the basement of her 1960s ranch home in the Forest Heights subdivision. Thankfully, she had a radon test before her contractor began the work. We were able to reduce the levels in the basement from over 5 pCi/L to below 1.0 pCI/L.
A concerned homeowner in the Forest Heights neighborhood in Athens, GA called us for radon testing and mitigation. She works from home and has a home gym in her basement. She had done some short term testing on her own and felt the results we inconsistent and confusing. She requested that we run a longer test than normal so she would have confidence in the overall average. We decided to run the test for 9 days.
The first test we conducted had an overall average of 2.9 pCi/L. This is below the EPA average but she wanted to get the levels below 2.0 pCi/L because she spends so much time in her home. The report showed that there were daily spikes in the levels up to 5.8 pCi/L. We were very confident we could help her meet her radon reduction goals.
After installing a radon mitigation system, we retested the home. She was thrilled with the results. The average was 0.7 pCi/L with a maximum reading of 1.32 pCi/L. The mitigation was a success and we were able to deliver the results she needed to feel comfortable spending so much time at home.
