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.

It is of the few projects that I enjoyed. From the estimate to the conclusion the feedback and communication was excellent. Radon is not a laughing matter to start with, but these were professional that planned to solve the issue. They also wanted the installation to be done in a way that that it did not affect the exterior of the home t in a negative manner. Example : put the exhaust pipe in full view of the public.. It was an excellent experience. The results are impressive in dealing with radon gas readings before and after!

There's really no other radon remediation team that will care about your home and family more than Green Earth. From the initial visit for the estimate to the final re-test after the system was installed, we were treated with respect and genuine care. When the first radon test came back high, it was pretty concerning. Greg and his team made sure we were comfortable with the plan and location for the system, as we have a new build, and the system was installed and up and running in no time. We definitely sleep easier knowing radon is no longer poisoning our family. Green Earth can not be beat!

My husband and I had a great experience with Green Earth Remediation! Our radon level was 4.8 on our pre purchase inspection of our house. We contacted Green Earth about installing a mitigation system. They answered quickly and were quick with coming for an estimate. Installation was quick too! Every person we interacted with was professional and knowledgeable. Our system has been working perfectly, and our post installation level was 0.4! Their price was reasonable and fair too. I would absolutely recommend them if you need a radon mitigation system!

Green Earth Radon Remediation did a phenomenal job installing a radon mitigation system in my house. They first ran a 48 hour test to confirm I actually needed one, and it turned out I had high radon levels in my basement. I met with Matt, who explained the dangers of radon and walked me through what the system would do. They got the whole thing installed in just half a day. After installation, Greg came out to pick up the test that confirmed the radon levels were now low. Everything passed with flying colors and my radon levels are very low now, which is such a relief. Really appreciate the professionalism and care from the whole team. Highly recommend them to anyone dealing with radon issues.

Highly recommend. Answered all my questions; did a great job with installation; and my readings went from over 4 to almost nothing. I don't even remember there is a fan in my garage attic. It's so quiet. Everyone in MI should check for radon.

The whole experience was amazing! They are professional, polite and well priced. The guys that came out to install went above and beyond providing mitigation in my home. All questions were answered and everything was explained so I understood what the system did and how it works, plus some trouble shoots in case things ever act up, they even automatically give a 5 year warranty on the system. I’d would 💯 recommend this company for Radon mitigation and pest control!

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.
