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.

Green Earth Remediation did a great job helping us lower our house radon levels. They were very responsive and came out within a day or two. They installed a fan to our passive system and returned a few days later to read the report and assure us that our home was now safe from radon. Excellent service at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend Green Earth Remediation.

Huge shoutout to William for the radon mitigation work at our home. He made the whole process easy, explained everything in plain English, and the system looks great. You can tell he actually cares about doing the job right. Also, I’ve got to say — the man rocks a seriously awesome hat. Five stars all around.

I had a great experience with Green Earth Remediation. Initially, I called to ask questions about my home digital radon tester placement. And that led me to realize my storage room with my sub pump was over 6. I appreciate the willingness to educate about radon, everyone I interacted with was happy to answer my questions. William did the mitigation system installation, sealed our sub pump basin, and left a professional grade radon tester (free of charge) to monitor the effectiveness of the system. He was very helpful and efficient, and also was wonderful at answering my questions. Greg came to collect the system and went over the results with me, which was a big improvement (.3)! We have a bedroom in our basement, so this was a huge relief. Our personal detector also reflects this improvement. Thank you Green Earth Remediation!

Matt and his team did an excellent job with installing radon mitigation at our new home! I was home alone for the walkthrough, installation, and pickup, and I never was uncomfortable. The guys did a great job at explaining what they were doing and how to follow-up if the system malfunctioned.

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!

Matt and his team were outstanding. We had a problem with the location the radon system was installed (the problem was rainwater water under the foundation) not Green Earths problem. They installed most of the system and we waited until the water went away. Never were they pushy to finish the job. They wanted it done right and so did we. Outstanding team and company to work with. Will be highly recommended by me to anyone who asks. Before remediation 5.8 pCi/L, after remediation 0.8 pCi/L. I know each house is different, but amazing results.

Joe came out to install my radon mitigation system and I have no complaints. During the install a storm came through and took out the power lines so Joe was stuck for a while at my house. Even after the power went out Joe finished up the job. After he sat with my dad and myself for probably five hours due to the down lines and talked with us, played us his harmonica, and ate dinner in the driveway with us. He was a great guy and would highly recommend Green Earth, specifically Joe to anyone needing a radon mitigation system. I would also recommend Green Earth because they actually can out to my house (quick response) to talk through where to route the pipe and answered all my questions. While they were slightly more expensive than the other company that quoted me, I felt a lot safer going with Green Earth because they saw my house prior to installation day and guarantee levels below 2.

The Green Earth team was fantastic. We were frightened to find out we had high radon in our home and their team installed our mitigation system quickly and efficiently. Their staff was very informative and advised us on the best ways we could have the mitigation system installed based in our home and its layout. Thanks to the Green Earth mitigation system, our homes radon levels dropped from 8 pCi/L to a .7 pCi/L.

If you are looking for a professional and reliable team for radon mitigation, I highly recommend **Green Earth**. I contacted three different companies for estimates, and Green Earth was the only one that actually came out to my home to assess the space and explain the entire process in person. Their transparency from the start made a huge difference in my decision. The level of service and confidence they provide is unmatched. While other companies would only guarantee radon levels below 4.0, Green Earth guarantees levels under 2.0. They didn't just install the system and leave, either—they monitored the levels closely after the job was finished to ensure everything was functioning exactly as it should. Every employee I interacted with was knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant to work with. It is rare to find a company that combines technical expertise with such high standards for customer care. If you want the job done right, go with Green Earth!

Joe and Anthony did such a great job on our project. They were professional, explained the process and time frame and the final product looks so nice. I appreciated how they used floor coverings, even wore the little boot covers to ensure carpets and floors were protected.l and cleaned up when they were finished. Would 100% recommend Green Earth Remediation!

Friends recently had a system installed and were very pleased. We saw Green Earth's booth at the Grand Rapids Home & Garden show back in February and signed up for a Radon test. The Monday after the show they called and we scheduled a test for later that week. One of their staff came out and set everything up. Test takes a couple of days. When it was done he came back and showed us the "not good" results. It was 3 times the passable level. With that information we went ahead and scheduled the installation of a Radon remediation system at what I thought was a very fair price. Their installer showed up on the scheduled day and within a few hours we had the new system up and running. Very professional install. A short time later they brought the test equipment out and after the prescribed time came back and showed us the "new" test results which were well below the minimum acceptable levels. Very pleased. No high pressure sales. Staff were polite and easy to work with. Answered all our questions. I give them a five-star rating and would at minimum recommend you have them come and test your home for Radon.

Green Earth Remediation was one of the best companies we have ever worked with through the years. Matt, Joe and the others were knowledgeable, informative, respectful and honest. They came out, explained what they were going to do and what levels the radon would be at after they were done. They honored their promise. We highly recommend this company. You will not be sorry. Plus, the price was affordable.

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.
