When you decide to have the levels of radon in your home tested, you do so with the hope that there are no levels at all. Sometimes there isn’t, and sometimes there are high levels that require a radon mitigation system be installed in your home. Then you have to decide where you want to put the system. Many people believe that installing it in the attic is the best way to go. Read on below for some of the top benefits that come with putting your system in the attic, instead of in the yard.
Hidden Components
Installing the radon mitigation system in the attic means you don’t have to have unsightly fans and vent pipes sticking out of the side of your house. Instead, the only visible part of the system is the pipe coming out the roof.
Fans and Electrical Components Are out of Reach
One of the biggest benefits of putting the system in the attic is the fact that you keep the fans and the electrical components out of the reach of little wandering hands. In the attic, the system is not an attraction to young children who think it’s something to play with and could be injured or worse.
The Home Will Be Easier to Sell
If you decide at some point after the system is installed in your home to sell the house, it will be easier to sell without a bulky radon system sitting in the yard. Installing it in the attic keeps it hidden but effective.
These are just a few of the reasons to install your radon mitigation system in the attic. For more information and an appointment, contact the professionals at S.W.A.T. Environmental now.
