Radon Testing and Mitigation Quincy Residents can Count On
Your home is your place of refuge
after a long day’s work, a place of refuge and relaxation. But what if there was something invisible, odorless, and impossible for you to detect that was putting you, your family, and even your pets at risk?
This invisible culprit is radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas common in and around the Quincy, MA area, impacting homes and businesses both old and new.
With over 30 years of experience, New England Radon knows a thing or two about radon detection, radon testing, and radon mitigation has proudly contributed to local residents’ safety and well-being for decades.
There is no time like the present to act. If you have not yet had your home tested, or if it has been a while since the last radon inspection.
Our team of friendly, highly experienced radon professionals is ready and able to help.
What is Radon?
Many homeowners in Quincy are confused about what radon is or whether or not it should concern them. At New England Radon, we’re here to set the record straight.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found throughout the United States. This gas is being emitted from decaying uranium, and a mineral is dispersed throughout soil and rocks. This gas is both odorless and colorless, making it impossible to detect without a professional inspection.
As it is emitted, the gas rises through the soil and out into the air above ground. This process can and does seep into buildings such as homes and businesses through foundation cracks and other openings.

Who Has to Worry About Radon in their Home?
Because radon is a common and
naturally occurring phenomenon, many areas across the United States are at risk, including Quincy, MA.
According to the EPA, as many as 1 in 3 homes sampled across seven states had radon levels detected at measures exceeding the EPA’s recommended level for exposure. Because of this, both the US Surgeon General and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) recommend that ALL homes be tested below the third level for radon.
A professional inspection by an experienced radon detection and mitigation company, such as New England Radon, is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk.
Why is Radon so Dangerous?
When in open areas where radon can rise and then disperse into the outdoors, where it quickly dissipates, radon is mostly not an issue at all. However, radon seeps into homes and businesses, primarily those less well ventilated, it collects, and concentrations rise to dangerous levels.
Common Ways Radon Gets Inside Homes:
• Sump pits
• Dirt floors
• Slab joints
• Block walls
• Openings and cracks in flooring
• Cracks or poor seals in foundations
The Dangers of Radon Gas
Radon results in producing radioactive dust that is then breathed. This radioactive material stays in our airways and lungs, causing genetic damage at the cellular level.
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the Surgeon General’s Office, it is estimated that each year radon is the cause of up to 20,000 lung cancer deaths nationwide.
Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths each year than radon.

Radon Mitigation
From air to water, New England Radon has remediation solutions that can quickly, affordably, and effectively reduce radon levels well under EPA requirements and improve the safety of your home.
Air Radon Mitigation
Based on diagnostic results, the source, and levels of radon, our team will be able to provide options for a customized radon mitigation solution to improve the safety and air quality of your home.
We pride ourselves on delivering value, results, and providing cost-effective solutions our customers can count on to protect their family.
Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)
Often a favored solution when access to the crawlspace is limited or not available, an HRV system works by replacing the air in the basement with that from outside. This process effectively results in diluting the radon in the home
Sub-Slab Depressurization System (SSD)
This system effectively draws air
from beneath the slab or barrier between the air above and the radon below, and then works to pump that air out above the roofline through a PVC pipe. These systems are highly efficient, effective, and mostly maintenance-free, making them a perfect solution for many of our customers.
