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.

They were nice to work with and did a great job. William and Matt installed my system and it went really well. Radon levels went from 10-12 on my AirThings monitor to 0.3-0.4. Would definitely recommend.

The technicians from Green Earth did a superb job of installing my radon remediation system. Their communication with me on all the necessary details was over the top. I could not be more pleased with the installed system supported by the best customer service I could ask for!

Green Earth cam and did a Radon Mitigation for our house after it tested very high. The price was extremely reasonable, and they got us on the schedule right away. William came out and installed it and did a wonderful job, they were quick and cleaned up after themselves. The best part is they leave a radon testing kit to make sure that the mitigation system is working to their standards. It is so comforting to know they are proving that the system is working and I feel so much better moving my kids into the house knowing we aren't exposing them to high levels anymore. 100% would recommend them to anyone, the follow up and guarantee are the best I found!

Green Earth Radon remediation was professional, quick, and surprisingly less expensive than anticipated. Initial visit was quick and easy, and estimated install cost provided immediately. This was confirmed in writing within a day, so we scheduled - and installation began same week.

Install crew were respectul of our site, left the area clean, and the installation looks professional.

Best news - Radon dropped from consistently in 5-7 pCi/L range to consistently below 0.2 within a couple hours. My personal monitoring has confirmed it's stayed there for a month now.

Quick, Professional, zero fooling around. Very satisfied.

We are selling our home. The inspection company hired by the buyers also did a radon test that showed a value of 155 - ridiculously high for a Michigan home. The inspection company didn't even question the number. Just published it as if it was fact.

Fortunately, when the buyers' agent called Green Earth Remediation to compare rates to install a remediation system, they said the number didn't make any sense. So, they offered to do a retest for free. They easily could have just "accepted" the number, bid the job and possibly installed a system costing thousands. Instead, they came all the way out to retest our home for free.

Their test came back at just over TWO. Not 20, not 200. TWO! - and this what these guys actually do for a living, so I have way more confidence in their number than the one from the inspection service. Now, not only do we not have to worry about an expensive remediation system, I'm honestly still wondering to myself why the inspection company didn't even blink at that 155 value.

At any rate, thank you soooooo much to GER for being willing to come out and do this free of charge. These guys are great, and, the guy that they sent out (I think it was Greg) was terrific. Very personable, but also very professional.

I bought a home a few years back that needed radon mitigation and the system recently started a high pitched hum. William happened to be the technician for both the install and the recent home call. The drop in rate was reasonable, he quickly identified the issue, and swapped out the fan (which was under warranty that he took care of). Everything was back to normal within the hour. William was down to earth and actually remembered the house from a few years back. I almost offered the guy a beer but if I ever see him out at a bar, I'll be sure to get him a round.

Green earth remediation is not the cheapest choice around, but they do have competitive pricing. I did a couple quotes before choosing who to contract for my radon mitigation system I got quotes that were 25-50 dollars cheaper than green earth. After looking at all the examples for the systems each company installed, I decided to go with Green Earth because they are marginally more expensive but more quality work. There mitigation systems are expertly installed and also proven to work by their post tests.

I'm a realtor and my clients had Green Earth Remediation test and put a radon system in their new home. They retested after the system was already put in, the levels were still below what the state suggests, but still too high for Green Earth to accept. With some more tweaking they got the levels down to almost nothing! Super impressed on their dedication to go over and beyond! Because of this, I also used them in my home to test my system after some tweaking was done on my radon system and I also received a very LOW reading! I'll continue to suggest them to my clients in the future! Thank you!

Cannot recommend them enough! We needed a radon mitigation system installed and they were the only local company who actually came out to do a walk through quote. The entire process from scheduling to system install was seamless. Now our levels are almost nonexistent. Thank you for keeping our family safe & giving us peace of mind!

I've now had three radon systems installed with Green Earth and they've done an excellent job each time. Their price was competitive, they were able to get started very fast, and they delivered clear results confirmed via complimentary post-installation testing. When Matt came out to give an estimate he knew exactly what needed to be done despite my project being quite complex. The install team arrived on-time, got right to work and were able to get everything done quicker than I imagined possible. After the install I was amazed when the owner Greg showed up at my door to personally review the post-install test results with me and answer any questions I had. I highly recommend Green Earth for radon mitigation.

I was in the process of selling my house when my radon test came back with a reading close to 40. I immediately called Green Earth, and they made the entire process incredibly easy. They came out quickly, worked around my schedule to provide a quote, and had the system installed just a few days after I gave approval.
My radon levels are now down to 0.6 and safely within the recommended range. I don’t get to enjoy the improvement myself, but I’m glad the home is safe for the new owners. Green Earth was fast, professional, and great to work with—highly recommend!

From the very first meet up with Matt to the final installation nothing but professional. Matt came to my home and we talked about solutions for my high radon levels. In the lower level of my home they averaged 4.8-5.2 .
We set an appointment and on that day the tech's came on time and we talked about the remediation plan as we looked over the inside and outside of me home and where the system would be installed.
Three days in I am averaging 1.0 now !!
I could not be happier with this job.
I have already recommended these guys to two friends.

Best regards,

Just had a great experience with Green Earth Remediation. Zack drove up in less than ideal weather to honor the appointment, arriving on time. He worked all day to install the radon removal system, and explained things as he went. 24 hours after Zack left, exactly as he said, the radon level dropped. We have a continuous monitor and it has not been back up anywhere near the pre-install levels. Definitely worth the money and peace of mind!

Greg came out and tested my home for radon. He was very friendly, honest and upfront about things. He didn’t talk me into anything I didn’t need. The radon levels weren’t too high so he suggested what I could do to take care of the problem. I would highly recommend them.

The work was completed on time and they were very professional. I would recommend Schultz for your Radon system installation. From first contact to installation of our system it was handled very well.

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.
