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 Plymouth, where 32% of homes exceed this threshold, elevated radon is common. Many Plymouth homes test between 4-10 pCi/L due to the area's geological characteristics.

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.

Complete Radon Testing and Mitigation Service

Our comprehensive the highest risk classification for radon exposure in Pennsylvania. The borough's geological foundation tells a story millions of years in the making - ancient Devonian shale formations and Pennsylvanian sandstones contain natural uranium deposits that continuously decay into radon gas. This radioactive element seeps upward through soil and bedrock, seeking entry into homes through foundation cracks, sump pits, and basement floors.

Plymouth's location in the Wyoming Valley adds critical complexity to the radon story. The valley's bowl-like topography near the Susquehanna River creates natural pressure differentials that drive radon gas accumulation beneath homes. Where mountain ridges would allow gas dispersion, the valley concentrates radon in the very areas where families live. This geographic trap effect means Plymouth homes experience consistently elevated radon levels compared to higher-elevation areas.

The region's anthracite coal mining legacy fundamentally altered Plymouth's subsurface geology. From the 1800s through the mid-1900s, extensive deep mining operations created vast networks of tunnels, shafts, and voids beneath the borough. These mining operations fractured bedrock that once served as a natural barrier to radon migration. Today, these old mining pathways act as superhighways for radon gas, allowing it to travel from deep uranium-rich formations directly into home foundations.

Professional this makes certified radon mitigation systems essential for home safety throughout Plymouth.
