Vapor Intrusion Questions
Get answers to common questions about vapor intrusion systems, costs, and installation.
Is vapor intrusion the same thing as radon?
Technically, radon is a form of vapor intrusion. However, the term “vapor intrusion” typically refers to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial chemicals, solvents, or petroleum products entering a building. While the entry mechanism – soil gas moving through foundation cracks – is identical, the sources and specific testing methods differ.
What are the signs of vapor intrusion in a building?
Unfortunately, there are rarely visible signs. While high concentrations of chemicals like gasoline might produce a detectable odor, most dangerous vapors are odorless and colorless at unsafe levels. Specific health symptoms can be vague, so professional air and soil gas testing is the only way to confirm presence.
How is vapor intrusion tested?
Testing typically involves collecting concurrent samples of indoor air and sub-slab soil gas. We drill small ports through the concrete floor to sample the air directly beneath the foundation while using canisters to measure indoor air quality. Comparing these results confirms if vapors are migrating from the soil.
How effective are mitigation systems?
Extremely effective. Our systems consistently reduce radon levels by 90-99%. We guarantee results below EPA action levels (4.0 pCi/L), and most properties achieve levels below 2.0 pCi/L. Post-installation testing confirms effectiveness.
What happens if vapor intrusion test results come back elevated?
If levels are unsafe, mitigation is required. We design and install a sub-slab depressurization system – similar to a radon system but often using specialized materials – to create a vacuum beneath the foundation. This captures the vapors and vents them safely above the roofline before they can enter your building.
Can vapor intrusion be mitigated without major construction?
Yes, in most cases. Mitigation systems are usually retrofitted with minimal disruption to your operations. We core-drill small suction points into the slab and route piping through unobtrusive pathways to an exterior fan. This process is efficient and rarely requires tearing up floors or significant structural changes.
