CrawlShield
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that has been proven to cause lung cancer. Exposure to the gas is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smoking individuals, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA further states that the gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US and accounts for approximately 21,000 cancer deaths per year.
Many homes across the United States suffer from radon gas. The gas occurs when natural deposits of uranium in soil, water and rocks breaks down. The breakdown process of the uranium releases radon gas into the environment that can seep into a home or business.
CrawlShield is an applied, heavy-duty liner barrier that encapsulates a crawl space. Having CrawlShield applied to your crawl space creates a healthy barrier to radon gas. The product helps reduce condensation, which frequently causes musty odors. CrawlShield also inhibits mold growth which can pose a significant health risk. Eliminating the risk of radon gas and mold spores creates healthier air quality in the home or business.
CrawlShield is an exceptionally strong, tear-resistant, durable product that is made entirely in the United States. It not only eliminates moisture in the crawl space but also creates an ideal layered surface for storage. White in color and 16 mils. thick, CrawlShield barrier brightens up a dark crawl space to create a more visually appealing area.
