Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is found in soil and rock. It can seep into homes through cracks in the foundation or other openings. Radon is a health risk because it can cause lung cancer. If you’re concerned about radon in your home, then Drycrete Waterproofing can help you test for and identify the cause of elevated radon levels. We also install a variety of radon mitigation systems that address the specific needs of your home.

Home Radon Remediation:

1. Radon Testing

The first step is to test the radon levels in your home. This can be done by purchasing a home radon test at your local hardware or home improvement store or online. You can also hire a radon testing professional such as Drycrete Waterproofing to test the levels in your home.

The EPA recommends homes with a radon level of 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) or more have their radon remediated immediately. There is no known safe level of exposure to radon, so the EPA also recommends that Americans consider fixing their home for radon levels between 2 pCi/L and 4 pCi/L.

2. Identify Where Radon is Entering the Home

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes through cracks in the foundation or other openings. There are two main ways that radon can enter homes:

Soil: Radon gas is naturally present in soil and rock. The pressure differences between the interior of your home and the soil outside can create a vacuum, called the “stack effect”, causing radon gas to be sucked in through cracks and holes in your foundation.
Water: Radon can also be found in groundwater. If your home has a well, radon gas can seep into your home through the pipes that bring water into your home.

3. Mitigate the Radon

There are several different types of radon mitigation systems that can be used to reduce radon levels in homes. The type of system that is best for your home will depend on the level of radon and where it’s coming from, the age of your home, and the foundation type.

Drycrete Waterproofing offers a variety of radon mitigation systems, including:

Sub-slab depressurization: This system creates a negative pressure under the foundation, which helps to draw radon out of the soil and away from the home.
Fan-forced ventilation: This system uses fans to ventilate the crawl space or basement, which helps to remove radon from the air.
Water treatment: This system removes radon from the water supply, which can help to reduce radon levels in the home.

Drycrete did a great job fixing the leak, the technician came in time and explained things very clear and easy to understand. Answered all my questions after job is done. Highly recommended and their price is very reasonable as well compare to other quotes I got.

My husband and I will be Drycrete customers for life. Can’t say enough how much we appreciate Drycrete and specifically the owner, Jason. It’s not often that you find someone who takes such personal care in their clients’ experience and repeatedly goes the extra mile to see that a job is done right and to the client’s satisfaction, and that is exactly what Jason has done for us.

Our house happens to be situated on a very high water table which means that we have a very active sump pump. Jason and his team helped ensure that we have the most effective pump configuration to ensure that we’re keeping the finished basement dry.

The team at Drycrete has been fantastic to work with and as we all know, it always starts at the top. Jason was personally involved in every step of the process, from the initial installation to follow up visits to adjust the float levels as necessary to find the right pumping frequency and has been incredibly responsive and helpful the entire time.

We thank Jason and the entire Drycrete team for their help in giving us the peace of mind that we have a dry basement thanks to the best pumping solution possible for our home.

Steve very cleverly diagnosed a dehumidifier that wasn't working (fan running so it seemed to be working) versus quoting us a very expensive solution as another company had done. Very much appreciated!! Max did a quick, clean, efficient, friendly install of a new dehumidifier two days later.

Drycrete is fantastic!!
They did exactly what they said they would do in a professional and timely manner. What more could you ask for?
The guys were great and they did a fantastic job waterproofing our 12,000 sq ft basement. They sealed cracks and installed dehumidifiers.
This is a great company from the first phone call all the way through. Don't hesitate to contact them.

I couldn’t be more satisfied with Drycrete! In March of 2020, 2 days before the world stopped, Drycrete came to my house to fix the water problem that I have had in my home for the last 20 years! Every large storm, I would have water in my basement, leaving me in knee high boots and wet vacs cleaning up the disaster , replacing carpets and repairing walls. After the most recent storm, I reached out to make sure that my pump was still good because I smelled an odor that I couldn’t identify. They sent someone right out, checked the entire system and put me on an annual check from now on! I could not be more pleased with DRYCRETE . Instead of being terrified of rainstorms, I am confident that my house will be safe and dry.

From start to finish, Drycrete was amazing! Their customer service is fantastic. The team of 7 that did our basement could not have been nicer or worked harder. They finished in one day instead of 2, and the final outcome was amazing! We couldn’t recommend Drycrete more!

My review isn't much different from anyone else's - these people are consummate professionals who are very, very good at what they do. They did an entire basement dig-out for my customers - we gained 18" of ceiling height and it transformed the space. For such a large, seemingly complex job, they made it look easy (even though I KNOW it was not!) and with so few hiccups. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic experience. They're extremely knowledgeable and confident in their work. I got a handful of quotes from other companies large and small, they were the best at assessing and explaining everything, and pricing was actually the most reasonable as well. Would use them again in a heartbeat.

Gian arrived promptly. Very knowledgeable and courteous. Explained what he was going to be doing & promptly went to work. Upon finishing, he showed me the work he performed and explained the operation of the pumps and set me up with the application. Very happy with his work and he answered whatever questions I had. I would be happy to recommend Drycrete to anyone who should need water mitigation. Gian is a great asset to your company.

The Drycrete Team worked very quickly and did a very professional job on the french drain and sump pump installation along with a drain off in our yard. They cleaned up afterwards and left the yard and cellar clean. I’m unable to comment on functionality until we experience unusual rainfall, though my assumption is that it should work fine!
