Our EPA-certified team has protected 95+ Taylor homes since 2005, with same-day service available throughout the borough. We serve all Taylor neighborhoods including Old Forge border areas.

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 Taylor, where 39% of homes exceed this threshold, high radon is common in areas with coal mining history. Many Taylor homes test between 6-12 pCi/L due to underground geological factors.

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 Taylor Home

Wondering how to reduce radon levels in your Taylor 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 Taylor 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 Taylor is EPA Zone 1 for Radon

Taylor sits in EPA Zone 1, the highest risk classification for radon exposure in Pennsylvania. Located in the Back Mountain region of Luzerne County, Taylor's geological foundation includes uranium-bearing rock formations from the ancient Lackawanna Formation. These Paleozoic-era sedimentary rocks contain naturally occurring uranium deposits that continuously decay, producing radon gas deep beneath Taylor homes.

The region's glacial till soils create a complex network of pathways for radon migration. During the last Ice Age, glaciers deposited layers of mixed sand, gravel, and clay across the Back Mountain area. These permeable glacial deposits, combined with fractured bedrock beneath Taylor, allow radon gas to travel efficiently from uranium-bearing rock formations. Radon moves through foundation cracks, sump pumps, floor drains, and utility penetrations, accumulating in basements and crawl spaces where families spend time.

Taylor's elevated terrain and natural topography compound radon risks. The rolling hills and valleys create pressure differentials that draw radon from soil into homes through foundation gaps. Combined with older home construction in many Taylor neighborhoods, these geological and structural factors create consistent radon exposure risks throughout the community.

Professional making certified radon mitigation systems essential for protecting family health throughout the Back Mountain region.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions from Taylor Residents

Why are radon levels elevated in Taylor?

Taylor is located in the Back Mountain area of Luzerne County, where the underlying geology includes uranium-bearing rock formations. The area's natural topography and soil conditions contribute to elevated radon levels. About 39% of homes in our area test above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L.

How much does radon mitigation cost in Taylor?

Radon mitigation systems in Taylor typically cost between $1,500 and $2,500. The exact price depends on your home's size, foundation type, and current radon levels. We offer free estimates and financing options for qualified homeowners.

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

Yes! Radon levels can vary significantly even between adjacent homes in Taylor. Factors like foundation type, soil conditions, and home ventilation all affect radon concentrations. The only way to know your home's radon level is through professional testing.

How long does radon mitigation take?

Most radon mitigation system installations in Taylor homes are completed in one day (4-8 hours). After installation, we conduct post-mitigation testing to ensure your radon levels are below the EPA action level.

Can I sell my home if it has high radon levels?

Yes! High radon levels don't prevent a home sale in Taylor. Pennsylvania law requires radon disclosure during real estate transactions. Most buyers proceed with the sale after a mitigation system is installed. We offer fast-track installation for real estate transactions, often completing systems within 48 hours to keep closings on schedule. Having a professionally installed mitigation system can actually be a selling point, showing buyers the home is protected.

How quickly can you install a system before a home inspection?

We understand real estate timelines are tight! For home inspection situations in Taylor, we offer emergency same-day testing deployment and can typically install mitigation systems within 2-3 business days. If you're under contract and the home inspection reveals high radon, call us immediately at (570) 74-RADON (747-2366). We'll work with your to ensure your closing stays on track.
