Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Systems for Brownfield Redevelopment

Vapor Intrusion Mitigation: Our Michigan Roots

The history of Michigan is rooted in industrial manufacturing, which fueled the growth of many Michigan communities in the early 20th century. Today, former industrial sites now pose unique environmental challenges for developers seeking to restore and repurpose historical buildings and embark on new construction projects in the area.

Founded in Grand Rapids, MI, Green Earth Remediation now provides vapor intrusion mitigation services that enable developers to tackle challenges in brownfield redevelopment, ensuring safe environments for revitalized communities across various regions.

Why Is Vapor Intrusion Assessment and Mitigation System Design Required?

In the heyday of the United State’s industrial manufacturing empire, much less was known and understood about the environmental impacts of industrial runoff and dumping. Therefore, chemicals and byproducts were simply dumped into landfills and waterways, and these contaminants remain in the soil and sediment that is below various buildings and prospective construction sites.

To limit the movement of chemical vapors from contaminated soil and groundwater, through the cracks and gaps in building foundations into the air inside buildings, it is necessary to perform brownfield assessment and vapor intrusion mitigation.

Tracey Miller
Green Earth was able to get to my house within 24 hours of my call. They were efficient & friendly. If you need help with your radon mitigation system I would highly recommend using Green Earth Remediation.
Michelle Beckman
We were very impressed by Green Earth Remediation. We reached out to them for having high level of radon in our basement. They were able to assess our basement within a few days of calling and installed a remediation system within a week. We would highly recommend.
adeel khan
The fan of our radon system got loud (old system) and I spoke to Matt yesterday and he had William and Joe come out this morning. They not only installed the new fan but also went out of the way to fix another minor issue that was not related to the fan. William explained the changes, and answered all the questions very professionally.

Great work Green Earth Remediation and thank you!!
Pam Kasmer
Zach was a very good teacher and taught us about the radon process.
Kyle Kunnen
Had an immediate need to get our radon issue corrected and they took care of it for the amount they quoted. This included a test to ensure the remediation was working correctly. No extra costs to stop out a second time to make adjustments. Top notch outfit. Would use them again if needed and recommend them to anyone needing their radon levels checked or remediated.
Teresa Nolander
The representative came within a couple of days to give us an estimate for radon remediation for our home. It was a very reasonable rate and they came back to do the work within just a few days. We received a report back on the post remediation test the same day that the test period was completed. Quick, efficient and effective!!!!
Ben Lichtenwalner
These guys were great. They installed a radon mitigation system for our home. It works great (we have a real time monitor in place to confirm). They were quick, friendly and very clean.

These guys were great. They installed a radon mitigation system for our home. It works great (we have a real time monitor in place to confirm). They were quick, friendly and very clean. They even played down protective mats on our carpets so they did not track in any dirt, mud, or snow (it was winter). Highly recommended!
Nate Diedrich
We had a fantastic experience with Green Earth remediation. Matt came out to give us an estimate and clearly explained the options and prices. Our installers were William and Joe and they did a fantastic job setting up the radon system in our new construction home. They were conscientious and respectful and went the extra mile to make sure the job was done right. Highly recommended!
Kellie Kalish
I had two companies quote services for remediating radon in my home. The other company seemed sloppy and didn't follow through on what they had said they would. I'm grateful for that because them dropping the ball led me to Green Earth. From the first conversation through to the final sign-off after install - everything went as planned. They were considerate, professional, detail oriented, and I felt safe having them in my home. 10/10, highly recommend.
Laura F
My #1 go to for pest inspections, pest and bee control, and radon mitigation. I have used this company for my personal property and always recommend to my real estate clients. Very responsive, reasonable costs and friendly service.
Melia Lowry
Green earth remediation showed up the same day I called to set up a radon test. They were very detailed and knowledgeable. They left the test set up for 96 hours, obtaining readings of radon every hour. When they picked the test up, the technician went through and explained the results. Our average reading was a 1.3 so we will not need a mitigation system. Had it been higher we would have had green earth install a system.
Jordan Enders
The Green Earth Remediation team was great to work with! We had a radon issue in our new home and the team quickly came out to install a new system. Everyone I came in contact with were kind, professional and answered any questions I had. I definitely recommend them to anyone who has a radon issue in their home.

Thank you Joe, Matt and the entire Green Earth Remediation team!
Brenda Pratt
My go to for clients who need pest control and radon mitigation. They are always on time and follow up.
Hawk
I had Zach Schultz and Matt Ingle out to put in a radon mitigation system. Very professional, respectful, and easy to work with. They understand their trade and I recommend these men in particular. I feel much better knowing my radon levels in my home will now be under control.
This is a no-bias review. I don't have any ties whatsoever to this business. Just a real review of their good work. Thank you, Zach S. and Matt I.
scott devecht
I recently had the pleasure of working with Green Earth Remediation for radon remediation in my home, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service provided. From start to finish, the experience was impeccable.

The team’s customer service was top-notch. They went above and beyond their guaranteed customer service commitment, ensuring that I was comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. The staff were professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, making what could have been a stressful situation remarkably smooth.

The equipment used was exactly as described in their proposal. It was evident that they take pride in using high-quality, reliable tools and technology. This attention to detail gave me confidence in their work from the get-go.

What really stood out was their follow-up. They didn’t just complete the job and disappear—they made sure to check in and confirm that everything was working perfectly. This follow-up gave me tremendous peace of mind, knowing that my home is now safe from radon.

Thank you, Green Earth Remediation, for the high-quality service and excellent customer care. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of radon remediation. They truly deliver on their promises and then some!

Vapor Intrusion FAQs 

Soil or air testing can reveal the presence of potential contaminants that can be mitigated with a vapor barrier in a building’s foundation. This type of testing should take place prior to new construction or renovation in designated brownfield sites where pollutants are likely to be present.
Vapor intrusion is the result of chemical spills, leaks, or dumping that was not properly cleaned up. In areas with a history of industrial production, it is common to find higher levels of contaminants in the soil and groundwater. As these chemicals evaporate, they can become vapors that are released into the air. When vapors infiltrate buildings, these odorless, invisible gasses build up in concentration and present a health hazard for the buildings’ occupants.
Exposure to various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through vapor intrusion may increase a person’s cancer risk and cause more immediate health concerns with symptoms like nausea, drowsiness, dizziness, slowed reflexes, and headaches.
Green Earth Remediation will customize vapor mitigation solutions based on the unique needs of your property. Typically, the process will include the installation of a vapor barrier within a building’s foundation. This will prevent the intrusion of harmful, airborne compounds associated with various health risks.
Vapor intrusion control is a specialized service that requires extensive training and knowledge to provide effectively. Green Earth Remediation has assisted in the redevelopment of numerous brownfield sites with reliable solutions for vapor intrusion.
Soil testing involves taking a sample of potentially contaminated soil and sending it to a lab for assessment. The process of taking a soil sample generally takes 1-2 hours. For existing structures, a sub slab soil gas sample may need to be taken. This involves drilling small holes into a basement or slab floor to collect soil samples underneath. A lab report will be provided within a few weeks of the soil sample collection.
Air testing is typically performed over a period of 24 hours with a passive testing device that is collected in a specially designed canister and taken to a lab for testing. A lab report will take 3-5 weeks following the collection of an air sample.
Vapor mitigation will not only ensure the health and safety of a building’s future occupants, but it can limit liabilities for property owners and protect their investments. It also provides a pathway towards revitalizing urban areas that may have previously posed health risks that limited redevelopment in these areas.
