Radon Testing & Mitigation in Brighton, IL

Air Sense Environmental provides radon testing, radon mitigation, indoor air quality testing and crawl space encapsulation in Brighton, IL. The company is IEMA-licensed (#RNM20232346) and NRPP-certified, works across Macoupin County from its Edwardsville, Illinois headquarters, and measures every radon job against the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L.

Is radon a problem in Brighton, IL?

Yes. Radon levels in Macoupin County vary widely from house to house, and individual Brighton homes routinely test above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. The Illinois Department of Public Health reports that about 41 percent of Illinois homes tested have come back at or above 4.0 pCi/L, and Illinois requires radon professionals to hold an IEMA license. Brighton sits on the Macoupin and Jersey county line north of Alton, a small town of older frame homes and rural properties, many on private wells.

Radon varies house by house rather than neighborhood by neighborhood. Two homes on the same Brighton street, built the same year by the same builder, can test at 1 pCi/L and 12 pCi/L because of what sits under each lot and how each foundation was sealed.

Radon testing in Brighton, IL

Radon testing in Brighton uses a calibrated continuous radon monitor for a 48-hour closed-house test, with hourly readings and tamper detection that hold up in a real estate transaction. The St. Louis radon testing page covers how the test works, and the radon testing cost guide holds current pricing.

Radon mitigation in Brighton, IL

Radon mitigation in Brighton means a sub-slab depressurization system designed around the specific foundation, with the fan outside the living space and a post-mitigation test to prove the result. See the St. Louis radon mitigation services page for the process, documented results and warranty.

Indoor air quality testing in Brighton, IL

Indoor air quality testing in Brighton measures particulates, VOCs, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, temperature and humidity over at least 48 hours, with radon as an optional add-on, and ends in a written report. Details are on the St. Louis indoor air quality testing page.

Crawl space encapsulation in Brighton, IL

Crawl space encapsulation in Brighton seals the floor and walls with a reinforced vapor barrier, closes the vents and controls humidity with a dehumidifier, which also cuts off a common radon pathway. Read more on the St. Louis crawl space encapsulation page.

Which Brighton homes does Air Sense Environmental work on?

The Brighton homes the team sees most often:

• Older frame homes in town with cellars or crawl spaces
• Rural homes on acreage with full basements
• Homes on private wells, where radon in water is worth testing along with radon in air
• Newer homes on poured basements at the edge of town

What should Brighton homeowners expect?

1. Test first. A 48-hour continuous monitor test gives the number everything else depends on.
2. Read the report together. You get the hourly data and a plain explanation of what it means for the house.
3. Design the fix. If the reading is at or above 4.0 pCi/L, the system is designed around your foundation during a free in-home estimate.
4. Install and verify. Most systems go in within a single day, and a post-mitigation test confirms the result.
