Radon is an invisible, odorless gas that seeps into homes from the ground — and it’s one of the leading causes of lung cancer after smoking. In regions like Manitoba, radon levels can be especially high due to the soil composition and climate. Fortunately, Mad Dog Spray Foam offers effective solutions to seal your basement and keep radon out.
1. Understanding the Radon Problem
Radon gas forms naturally from the breakdown of uranium in rocks and soil. It enters homes through cracks in the foundation, floor joints, sump pumps, and pipe openings. Without proper sealing, it can accumulate in basements and lower living spaces.
2. The Power of Spray Foam Sealing
Our closed-cell spray foam acts as an exceptional air and vapor barrier. When applied to foundation walls and floors, it seals even microscopic cracks, preventing radon from entering your living space. Unlike traditional insulation, spray foam expands to create a continuous barrier with no weak points.
3. Health and Safety Benefits
Reducing radon infiltration means cleaner indoor air and a healthier home for your family. Combined with proper ventilation and monitoring, spray foam insulation significantly lowers your radon exposure risk.
4. Professional Installation Matters
At Mad Dog Spray Foam, we follow all safety and industry standards during installation. Our trained technicians ensure your basement is fully encapsulated and protected — not just from radon, but also from moisture and mold.
