Radon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It enters without invitation and gives no indication of its presence - until it is already too late. It is a known carcinogen, estimated to be behind up to 14% of all lung cancer cases in the country. It comes from the soil, and could enter your home at any time!

Radon contamination arrives in homes via vapor intrusion, which occurs when any volatile, usually naturally occurring chemical compound seeps into your home's foundation through the soil. Vapor intrusion is common and occurs constantly, but a properly functioning ventilation system can typically prevent the associated problems

Luckily, diagnosing the root cause of vapor intrusion problems can be relatively simple, depending on the circumstances. Regardless, DocAir can help!

While fighting radon and other airborne contaminants may seem like an uphill battle, fear not - DocAir has you covered.

Their service approaches the problem empirically in order to diagnose the specific “sickness” that your home is suffering from, then work on a treatment plan to develop a "cure" to match!

While the most common - or at least the most well-known - form of vapor intrusion comes in the form of radon gas, it is only one of many possible sources of this problem.

Lesser known forms of vapor intrusion may originate from volatile compounds in paint, cleaners, or adhesives - all especially pertinent if you own a new-construction home in the Nashville area.

To eliminate the threat that vapor intrusion can pose to you and your family, DocAir will begin with a routine inspection of your home’s HVAC system. Typically, aerosolized contaminants like radon are dealt with by the home’s ventilation system, and if this is not the case, then it is likely that your HVAC system is leaking.

If an inspection uncovers a leak anywhere in your system, DocAir will then develop an action plan to deal with the problem in a timely manner. They will run a series of tests to determine exactly where in the home the problem lies, using a combination of component inspection and thermal imaging to pinpoint and ultimately repair the issue.

A company spokesperson stated, “DocAir inspects your property holistically, investigating how your building functions, looking for potential defects & leaks in the structure to ascertain the root causes. You will receive a sustainable, long-lasting solution which will improve the overall health of your home and your family.”
