  A Sub Slab Depressurization (SSD) System is a technique used to mitigate radon gas levels in buildings. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can enter homes and other structures through the ground. High concentrations of radon can pose health risks, so it's crucial to manage and reduce its levels. The SSD system is an effective method for radon mitigation. Here's an overview of how it works: Understanding Radon Entry: Radon is often present in the soil and can enter buildings through openings in the foundation, such as cracks or gaps. It can also move through porous materials. Installation of a Depressurization System: A Sub Slab Depressurization System involves installing pipes, commonly referred to as suction or vent pipes, below the building's foundation. These pipes are placed in a way that they create a suction point under the building. Sub Slab Collection Point: The pipes extend from the soil below the building and terminate in a collection point...

  introduction: Living in Halifax comes with its joys and challenges, but one aspect that often goes unnoticed is the potential presence of radon gas in our homes. Radon, a colorless and odorless radioactive gas, can seep into buildings and pose serious health risks if left unchecked. In this blog post, we'll explore the importance of radon remediation in Halifax and how you can take proactive steps to protect your family's health. Understanding the Risk: Radon is a naturally occurring gas that results from the decay of uranium in soil and rock Halifax like many other areas, is prone to elevated radon levels due to its geology. When radon seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, or other openings, it can accumulate to dangerous concentrations indoors. Prolonged exposure to high levels of radon is linked to an increased risk of lung cancer, making it essential for Halifax residents to be aware of this invisible threat. The Remediation Process: Fortuna...
