We are certified by The National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP), the credentialing and certification division of AARST (American Association of Radon Scientists and Technicians). Certification to NRPP standards is an ongoing effort which requires bi-annual documentation of expertise and performance.

There is a major misconception that a radon mitigation system needs to start and run out of a sump crock in the basement of a home. Although, running a radon system out of a sump crock is a great solution, it is not the only way to mitigate radon gas.

Some radon mitigation companies prefer mitigating radon from the sump crock, even when the sump crock is located in the front of a home. This is because it is easy for them to install. Lifetime Radon Solutions installs custom radon mitigation systems, built to fit the unique character of any home.

If your home as a sump crock, it most likely has a drain tile system. Your drain tile system runs around the perimeter of your basement. Lifetime Radon Solutions technicians can just as effectively mitigate radon gas by running the system out from your homes drain tile system. Mitigating radon from your drain tile system as opposed to your sump crock provides significantly more flexibility in the placement of your radon mitigation system. This ensures that your radon system will be effective without becoming an eye sore on the exterior of your home.

Lifetime Radon Solutions uses what's called schedule 40 cellular core white PVC piping.

With the changing seasons and harsh weather conditions in Southeaster Wisconsin, the PVC pipe provides a better solution to help avoid condensation and freezing of your radon mitigation system.

Per EPA standards, the radon mitigation fan cannot be inside the living envelope. The main reason for this is because if the fan ever leaks from the top of the fan, radon will be exhausted directly into your home.

Acceptable locations for a radon fan are in a garage, attic of a garage or attic of your home or on the exterior of your home.

Lifetime Radon Solutions technicians are scheduled to perform 2-3 jobs per day, with their first job starting onsite at 8AM.

Lifetime Radon Solutions uses electronic monitors for our radon testing. Once your new radon system is up and running, our radon tech conducts the radon test before leaving your home.
