Commercial Radon Mitigation

Many often think of radon exposure as being an issue exclusive to residential properties. After all, since it is where we spend much of our time, it would make sense that we are most at risk for long-term exposure in the confines of our homes. However, the reality is that commercial properties are just as susceptible to radon as any other property. Whether for a storefront, school, hospital, or office building, indoor radon exposure can pose a major threat to your staff and customers.

Commercial vs. Residential Radon

In terms of functionality, mitigation systems for commercial and residential properties are incredibly similar. Both are designed to draw radon from the soil beneath a given structure and safely exhaust it out and away from the property, either via sub-slab or sub-membrane depressurization. However, there are three key differences that can make commercial radon mitigation much more complicated.

Airflow

A major contributing factor to indoor radon levels is something known as the “stack effect.” In the simplest sense, as the air heats up, it rises creating a vacuum effect that pulls in new air, including radon gas from the soil beneath the property. As commercial properties have a significantly increased airflow compared to residential properties, this effect is also increased.

Design

The design and sheer size of commercial properties often make them more difficult to mitigate than the typical home. Commercial properties not only have more complicated ventilation systems and structural features that can be difficult to work around, but their size also creates the potential for multiple points of entry for radon to enter the property.

Restrictions

Property type, location, and local regulations can all present obstacles for successful commercial mitigation. Noise ordinances and operating hours for local retail and office spaces can directly affect when mitigation installations can occur. Also, certain property types, such as multi-residential, daycares, and schools, have limitations and rules regarding any modifications that can be made to existing properties, including the types of mitigation systems that can be installed.
