"Bought a house and had a Radon Test done. It came back higher than the recommended EPA levels (I trust and believe in the EPA actually). Got a number of estimates and reviewed some companies. I went with SWAT Environmental as they could schedule weekends. I believe his name was Robert, he showed up on time and completed faster than expected. He answered all of my questions and was open and honest about everything. He was respectful of the property interior and exterior. Overall a great experience and I would recommend SWAT if you need Radon Mitigation."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts
Your radon mitigation system may be loud because it’s time to replace it. Any sounds are usually from the inline fan that helps create the vacuum and resulting airflow. If you hear a new, loud mechanical or humming noise from your radon fan, it might be time to replace it. Most fans used in radon mitigation systems last up to 10 years, but may need to be replaced sooner.
No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is present everywhere, complete avoidance is impossible. The average radon level in homes across the United States is 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking preventative measures if your home's radon levels are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.
Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas that poses serious health risks, infiltrating homes through foundation cracks and unnoticed spaces.
Options include sub-slab depressurization, crawlspace ventilation, and sealing cracks. Choose based on home construction and radon levels.
Many radon fans carry a five-year manufacturer's warranty. That said, your radon fan should last between five and ten years. Regular inspections will ensure the fan is operating properly. Unusual or exceptional noise coming from the fan or indications on your manometer or system monitor can immediately tell you that something is amiss.
