"We hired George to inspect our home, a new construction. He came twice, once during the pre-drywall stage and once for the final inspection. During the pre-drywall state, he brought a colleague with him who used to work in new home construction as a second set of eyes at no additional cost to us. He also conducted a radon test. Altogether, George is very knowledgeable and thorough. I followed him for the final inspection and asked about a million questions, and George always gave full, detailed answers. You can tell he values the service he provides to new homeowners and takes pride in his work."

"The Technician Tom was very educated and took time to answer my questions to which I all ready new the answers to. This was my test to his knowledge before we got started on the job. H was very good explaining the operation of the system to us, which helped my wife hear it from a different person other then myself. Workmanship is very neat and clean and a very professional job. I hail form a service background of 35 years and can say Tom was an excellent customer service person."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

While DIY testing is possible, abatement generally requires professional installation to ensure efficacy and meet safety standards.

The lifespan of a radon mitigation system depends on the type of system and its maintenance. With proper care, a system can last for many decades. Passive systems tend to last longer as they have fewer components that require replacement. Active systems, which have more moving parts like fans, generally have a shorter lifespan. For instance, water filtration devices and active pressurization systems require more frequent maintenance. While the system as a whole is durable, the radon fan in an active system typically has a lifespan of 5 to 10 years and will need to be replaced. As long as the fan is working, the mitigation system should function correctly.

Radon is present almost everywhere but, like sunlight, the concentration levels and how often you are exposed to it have a large part to play in just how dangerous it is. There are levels of radon that are acceptable inside a house, but above a certain limit, radon becomes a serious radioactive hazard that is a known cause of lung cancer. In fact, radon exposure is the number two leading cause of lung cancer (after smoking).

You'll need to test your home for radon after installing the mitigation system, then again every two years. If radon remains elevated, contact a licensed radon professional, either the contractor who installed the system or a different one, and have them evaluate the system. They may need to make some changes to improve its effectiveness and performance.

Installing a mitigation system reduces radon levels, which can cause lung cancer, providing peace of mind and long-term health benefits. It can also increase your home’s value, as many buyers prefer properties with radon safety measures in place. The investment is relatively low compared to the potential health risks associated with prolonged radon exposure.
