Radon gas is an invisible, odorless, and tasteless threat that can significantly impact the air quality of commercial and multifamily properties in California. While radon exposure levels in the state tend to be lower than in other regions, it remains a critical issue, particularly in buildings with ground-contact units, shared slabs, and mixed-use developments. Radon is a long-term indoor air quality concern that can be particularly challenging for commercial buildings and multifamily housing.
In multi-unit structures, radon can easily travel from one unit to another through shared ventilation systems, walls, and floors. Unlike single-family residences, commercial and multifamily properties require tailored radon risk management approaches to address the complexity of shared spaces and the larger number of occupants.
At Advanced Construction Technologies, we understand how radon risk differs for commercial and multifamily properties, which is why we offer comprehensive radon mitigation solutions customized to your specific needs. Our services are designed to handle the challenges posed by mixed-use developments, high-rise buildings, and other multi-unit structures. Additionally, we provide vapor intrusion services to address any related soil gas concerns and ensure the long-term safety and compliance of your property.
One-time radon testing is not enough to ensure the safety of your building over time. Radon levels can fluctuate, and without ongoing monitoring, it’s difficult to determine if mitigation systems are performing as intended. Regular radon monitoring is essential for ensuring that radon levels remain within safe limits and that installed mitigation systems are working effectively.
In California, where property owners must comply with local and federal standards, continuous radon monitoring also supports EHS programs, due diligence for investors, and risk management. Continuous monitoring provides a level of data visibility and automation that ensures radon exposure is consistently within safe limits. In particular, telemetry systems play a critical role in delivering real-time data and alerts, helping to monitor systems remotely and ensuring their long-term success. Our telemetry systems offer 24/7 performance tracking and automated reporting to ensure constant compliance.
Property owners and managers often look to guidance from the California Department of Public Health, along with national certifications such as NRPP and NRSB, to inform radon risk management best practices. At Advanced Construction Technologies, we help support radon safety efforts through the full project lifecycle, from the initial assessment to ongoing monitoring and maintenance.
Our services are aligned with the EPA, ANSI, and ASTM standards, offering a defensible approach to compliance that minimizes liability risks and ensures that you remain in good standing with regulatory agencies and lenders.
At Advanced Construction Technologies, we specialize in providing radon solutions specifically designed for multifamily and commercial clients. Our services cater to property owners, developers, asset and portfolio managers, property management companies, and EHS teams. These solutions are not intended for single-family residences, as the unique challenges posed by larger properties require specialized expertise and tailored mitigation approaches.
Addressing radon in large commercial and multifamily buildings requires specialized, engineered solutions. We design custom radon mitigation systems that are tailored to the unique needs of large structures. For buildings with extensive footprints, our mitigation strategies typically involve sub-slab depressurization, active ventilation systems, and integrated solutions that work with your existing building infrastructure.
Our team is experienced in implementing radon mitigation solutions with minimal disruption to tenants and business operations. Whether you manage a multi-story building or a large mixed-use development, we provide scalable solutions that ensure the long-term safety and comfort of all occupants.
Let’s talk about your project.
Short-term radon testing typically involves a 48-hour period, offering a snapshot of radon levels within a building. However, for commercial and multifamily properties, long-term radon testing is often preferred. By conducting tests over a period of 90 days or more, we can get a more accurate picture of radon exposure and identify any potential fluctuations that short-term tests may miss. This is essential in buildings where radon levels can vary seasonally or based on occupancy and ventilation patterns.
For commercial properties and multifamily buildings, radon testing strategies must encompass both individual units and common areas. This includes ground-contact spaces and shared slabs, as these are often the areas most prone to radon intrusion. Our testing protocols are aligned with ANSI/AARST standards, ensuring that we provide the most accurate and comprehensive radon assessments available. This approach is essential for ensuring that no area of the building is overlooked during testing. As part of our comprehensive soil gas mitigation approach, our testing also supports services such as methane mitigation.
If you’re concerned about radon risk in your commercial or multifamily property, we are here to help.
