We are thrilled to have a new location at 480 W 1400 N, Unit 17, Logan, Utah, 84321, to serve Cache, Box Elder, Weber, and Rich Counties!
Cache County, Box Elder County, and Weber County have some of the highest average radon levels in Utah, according to the most comprehensive Utah radon dataset in history from Alpha Energy Laboratories. Cache County is ranked the second highest in the state, Box Elder County is the third highest, and Weber County is the sixth highest.
Additionally, Northern Utah cities rank among the highest average radon levels in Utah. Brigham City tops the list with the highest average radon level in the State at 8.2 pCi/L. This radon level is 4X the Environmental Protection Agency’s recommended “consider mitigation” action level. Even more, North Logan and Logan are in the top 30 cities with the highest average radon levels in Utah at 6.5 and 5.7 pCi/L, respectively. Exposure to a radon level of 6.5 pCi/L is equivalent to smoking 13 cigarettes per day.
Radon is particularly high in Brigham City and Logan. This is due to the rich uranium deposits found in these areas. It's important to test your home if you live in these or the surrounding areas, so we provide 1 free radon test per household. There’s no catch—we simply want to protect Utahns from a preventable lung cancer diagnosis. Click the button below for a free radon test, or call us at 435-222-5448. We’ll mail the test right to your door and cover the cost of everything to evaluate your radon levels.
A radon mitigation system is a series of pipes that pulls radon out of the ground and releases it above your home. It’s a simple and effective way to reduce your home’s indoor radon level.
The cost of a radon mitigation system depends on several factors, including the square footage of the home's lowest level, the layout, and the type of fan needed, but, generally speaking, the cost is between $1,800 and $2,300. While this can cause some sticker shock, it’s far cheaper than the cost of lung cancer treatment. Plus, it can also increase your home’s value!
Radon is a radioactive gas created when uranium in the soil breaks down. Utah has high amounts of uranium in the ground, which means there are high amounts of radon throughout the state, particularly in Northern Utah.
Radon isn’t very dangerous when it can disperse outside, but it can cause dangerous health effects when it is concentrated indoors and breathed in over a prolonged period of time. Even more, radon levels can vary from house to house, so even if your neighbor’s home has low radon levels, your home may have dangerously high levels.
Radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, so it is critical to test your home for radon every two years and install a radon mitigation system if your home tests high. By proactively testing your home for radon, you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain. Request a free radon test today.
