Welcome to Radon Environmental
Radon Environmental has been in the business of helping Hoosiers protect themselves from the dangers of radon and indoor air pollution since 1988. We are family owned and have mitigated over 7,000 homes and businesses since we first opened our doors. While our primary service is radon reduction, we have also addressed other soil contamination pollutants such as methane from nearby landfills, pesticides from lawns and farmland, C0² from abandoned strip mines and volatile organics compounds from nearby factories and dry cleaners.
It is our sincere hope that these pages will provide you with the information you need to prevent needless exposure to such risks. Please click the Radon Environmental yard sign on the right to learn more about our EPA Living Healthy and Green program.
 Soil Gases Can Make You Sick
Even if your home doesn't have a radon problem, air from the soil can still make you sick. Today's homes are built to be energy efficient...which is a good thing if you control the pollutants generated by normal living. No one would consider eliminating exhaust fans or building a fireplace without a chimney... yet that is what happens when we fail to control the entry of air from the soil that surrounds a home's foundation.
Think about this. We are the first generation of Americans to live in energy efficient houses. Could it be that in our efforts to become “green” we have actually created new health issues? Experts agree that the air we breathe in our homes and businesses is one of the leading causes of respiratory illness and disease. Even ordinary soil moisture creates mold that can become a breeding ground for organisms which cause respiratory illness and damage building materials.
 Radon and Real Estate
Don't let your dream home become a nightmare! Buying or owning a home involves making decisions that can affect the lives of each member of your family for years. Most buyers spend more time picking out paint colors than they do thinking about indoor air quality. If you are buying or selling your home be sure to check out EPA's Breathing Easy online video.
