Maryland
Waterproofing and Radon Reduction, Inc. is the ONLY company in Maryland
licensed and certified to install waterproofing and radon mitigation
systems. We are EPA approved and listed for radon mitigation services.
Radon, first
discovered in 1910, is odorless, colorless, tasteless, and chemically
inert. Radon is a radioactive gas. When rocks weather, these radioactive
elements find their way into the soil and water. Under certain circumstances,
radon can migrate through the soil and enter homes in quantities sufficient
to become a health hazard. In order for this to happen, there must be
a source of radon, the soil must be permeable, and there must be a conduit
into the home. The most common points of entry are porous basement walls,
cracks in concrete floors or slabs, and openings around utility accesses.
Certain home sites exhibit reasonably predictable radon problems.
