What to Do When Radon Levels Are Above 4 pCi/L

If your radon test reveals levels above 4 pCi/L, the EPA recommends immediate action. In Dunmore, where 36% of homes exceed this threshold, elevated radon is common throughout the borough. Many Dunmore homes test between 5-11 pCi/L due to the area's geological characteristics.

Radon Level Risk Scale:

0-2 pCi/L Acceptable (consider mitigation at 2-4)
4-8 pCi/L Action Required - Install mitigation system
8+ pCi/L Urgent - Immediate professional mitigation needed

Take action now: Professional radon mitigation can reduce levels by 99%, typically bringing readings below 1.0 pCi/L. Don't wait - long-term exposure at levels above 4 pCi/L significantly increases lung cancer risk.

How to Reduce Radon Levels in Your Dunmore Home

Wondering how to reduce radon levels in your Dunmore home? Professional mitigation is the only proven solution. DIY methods like opening windows provide temporary relief but don't address the source. Here's what actually works:

Proven Radon Reduction Methods:

✓ Sub-Slab Depressurization (Most Effective)

Creates negative pressure beneath foundation, preventing radon entry. Reduces levels by 99%.

✓ Active Soil Depressurization

Ideal for varied foundation types common in Dunmore homes.

✗ Opening Windows (Temporary Only)

Not a permanent solution - levels return when windows close.

✗ Sealing Cracks Alone (Ineffective)

Radon finds new entry points. Must be combined with active ventilation.

Work with an EPA certified radon contractor like Crestwood Radon to ensure proper system design and installation. Our EPA certification (License #RMP-18-1234) and Pennsylvania state licensing guarantee compliance with all safety protocols and building codes specific to Lackawanna County.

Why Dunmore Sits in EPA Zone 1

Dunmore sits in EPA Zone 1, Pennsylvania's highest radon risk classification, with geological conditions that create exceptional radon hazards. As Scranton's eastern neighbor, Dunmore shares the Lackawanna Valley's uranium-bearing Pocono sandstone formations while experiencing even more concentrated radon risks due to its position in the valley basin. The borough's bedrock contains natural uranium deposits from ancient mountain-building events over 300 million years ago, creating a perpetual source of radon gas beneath every Dunmore home and business.

The area's anthracite coal mining legacy dramatically intensifies radon risks throughout Dunmore. From the 1850s through the 1950s, extensive deep mining operations beneath the borough created vast networks of underground voids and fractured bedrock. The Dunmore Mine, Continental Mine, and numerous smaller operations left behind mine shafts, tunnels, and collapsed areas that now serve as superhighways for radon migration. Where intact bedrock once provided natural barriers, mining disruption created pathways allowing radon to travel from uranium-bearing formations directly into home foundations.

Dunmore's housing stock compounds the geological risk factors. Many homes were constructed during the coal boom era (1880-1930) with stone foundations and minimal vapor barriers - building methods that inadvertently facilitate radon intrusion. The borough's mix of older row homes in downtown areas, mid-century construction throughout residential neighborhoods, and newer developments near the Scranton border all share exposure to the same uranium-bearing geology and mining-disrupted subsurface. The Lackawanna Valley's bowl-like topography further concentrates radon gas in the valley basin where Dunmore sits.

Professional making certified radon mitigation systems essential for home safety. Our systems are specifically designed for Lackawanna County's coal region geology and the varied foundation types common throughout Dunmore's neighborhoods.

Common Questions from Dunmore Residents

Why are radon levels high in Dunmore?

Dunmore is located in Lackawanna County's anthracite coal region, where uranium-bearing rock formations and historic mining activities contribute to elevated radon levels.

Learn more about our professional testing services.

How much does radon mitigation cost in Dunmore?

Do I need a radon test if my neighbor's house in Dunmore tested safe?

Yes! Radon levels can vary dramatically even between adjacent homes in Dunmore due to differences in foundation type, soil conditions, proximity to mining areas, and home ventilation. We've seen homes with 10+ pCi/L next door to homes under 2 pCi/L on the same street. The only way to know your home's radon level is through our EPA-approved professional testing.
