Radon is a radioactive gas that naturally comes from rocks and soil. It can enter Connecticut homes and buildings through cracks, gaps, and your water supply. No level of radon is considered safe. Testing is the only way to know if your home has a radon problem. Radon levels can be reduced with a process called radon mitigation (also called radon abatement or radon reduction). Lowering radon levels in your home or well water can help reduce health risks, including lung cancer caused by radon exposure.

The first step in protecting your home from radon is testing. Radon testing measures the concentration of radon gas in your air-and in your water if you rely on a private well. High levels of radon in water can contribute to elevated radon in indoor air. Whether you use a DIY test kit or hire a professional for radon testing, if your home or well shows levels above 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter), it's time to contact us for radon reduction services. We provide quick, no-obligation estimates for radon mitigation system installation and comprehensive well water testing.
*Please note: CT Radon and Well Water Solutions does NOT provide radon testing.
When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your indoor air to reduce radon levels as much as possible. The EPA established the 4.0 pCi/L radon action level, and any level above that should be addressed with radon mitigation.
A typical airborne radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter pipe that connects the space beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan draws radon-rich air from beneath the foundation and safely expels it outside, while sealed cracks and openings in the basement or foundation prevent radon from entering your home.
For homes with radon in well water, specialized radon in water mitigation systems are installed. These systems typically use aeration or granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment to remove radon from well water before it enters your home. Aeration systems work by mixing water with air in a pressurized tank, allowing radon gas to escape safely outdoors. Our radon mitigation professionals can determine whether a water treatment system, an aeration system, or a combination of solutions is needed to protect your household.
Reducing high radon levels, whether in air or water supply, requires technical knowledge and specialized skills. Without the proper experience, training, and expertise, you risk increasing your radon level or creating other potential hazards and additional costs. CT Radon and Well Water Solutions is knowledgeable about CT radon levels and when homes require radon mitigation.
