"Radon level in basement was too high so we hired SWAT to put in an exhaust fan and pipe to release excess radon gas. This was done to rectify a problem with home inspection; then house sold and we moved."

"Purchasing a new home is a big investment for me so it was vital to ensure the home inspection company my realtor referred provided prestige service. I knew little about All Star Home Inspections, so my feelings were as mixed about the company as its reviews were. However, I remained optimistic! The inspection service Mr. Chuck provided was amazing and exceeded all my expectations. The price was well worth it! I received an email with the completed inspection report less than two hours after the home inspection was complete. The inspection report was so thorough you would think he was purchasing the property for himself. It included minor issues with major consequences if not dealt with. These issues were not visible to the untrained eye. Mr. Chuck is professional and extremely knowledgeable of the inspection process and other areas. For example. I own a home out of state, and he provided tips to ensure when I decide to sell, it is advantageous for me and the buyer."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Radon enters your home when warm air begins to rise and exits through the roof, creating a vacuum that pulls cooler air from under the foundation. Part of that air is radon, which is an invisible, odorless gas that develops naturally when radioactive particles are deep within the ground. Those particles usually come from decaying matter in soil and rocks.

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.

Your radon fan needs to operate 24/7 to be effective. The only time the fan isn't operating is during its replacement. Radon levels in the home can increase within hours if the fan stops working or something obstructs the stack vent. Fortunately, radon systems require no downtime maintenance between fan changes.

You can vent radon out of your house sometimes by simply opening a window, but it won’t remove the source, and will likely rise above recommended levels quickly. A professional will be needed to assess your home, and determine the best strategy for radon removal. Active radon sump pumps and soil depressurization systems are often used to forcefully vent the radon from your home.

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).
