Welcome to the New England Radon Control's (NERC) Web site.
According to the EPA
and the American Lung Association, Radon is the second leading cause of lung
cancer after cigarette smoking!
Radon (Rn) is a clear,
odorless, and tasteless Noble gas and therefore chemically inert. It is a
naturally occurring radioactive element with a half life of approximately four
days.
We understand that
having elevated radon levels in your home can be unsettling. We have performed
hundreds of mitigations in Vermont and New Hampshire, and have developed a
low maintenenace
design that is capable of mitigating most homes in the unique climatic
conditions of the Northeast. Our experience working on Superfund sites and
cleaning up multiple underground oil and chemical spills has transferred to
removing radon from your home.
Since 1994 we have been mitigating homes
in the Northeast. Whether for a real estate transaction or for the health of
your family, we provide prompt, professional service. NERC handles all
aspects of the mitigation from inspection, system design, installation, and
post mitigating testing. We only use subcontrators to provide licensed
electrical installations when they are required. NERC will line up the job and
the electrician to provide you with one point of contact for a smooth and
trouble-free mitigation.
Our goal with this site is to provide
information and allow you to make an educated mitigation decision. If the site
does not address your specific need, please feel free to contact us via e-mail,
phone, or mail. |
