Why Summer Is the Right Time for Radon Mitigation
Many homeowners association radon problems with the colder months, when windows are shut and homes are sealed up tight. But at Radon Systems LLC, we see a different reality: summer conditions can also drive radon levels up, and without proper mitigation, your home could still be at risk.
If your home doesn't have a radon mitigation system installed, summer is a smart time to take action—and here’s why.
Summer Weather Can Still Trigger High Radon Levels
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into homes from the ground. It's not just a winter issue; summer conditions can actually increase the likelihood of radon buildup indoors—especially if you're running air conditioning and keeping windows closed.
AC Systems Can Pull Radon In
When your air conditioner is in use, it can lower indoor air pressure. This creates a suction effect, drawing radon gas from the soil through foundation cracks, sump pits, and other entry points.
Hot Weather = Less Ventilation
During the summer, most homeowners keep their homes tightly closed to keep the cool air in. That same airtight environment that keeps your energy bills low can also trap radon inside, allowing it to accumulate in basements and lower levels.
Summer Storms & Saturated Soil
Heavy rain and shifting pressure systems can push radon into your home. Water-saturated soil acts like a barrier, forcing radon gas to take the path of least resistance—which may be right into your foundation.
Radon Doesn’t Take the Summer Off
Even though radon levels often spike in winter, it's a year-round concern. And since radon is odorless and invisible, it doesn’t give any warning signs. The good news? A properly installed mitigation system continuously vents radon outside, keeping your home safe no matter the season.
