"They installed a Radon Mitigation system in a house I was selling. They had the best price, the experience I wanted, and were able to install a few days after I called. Technician was very nice and efficient in getting it installed. Good warranty too. I had my system installed in an encapsulated crawl space."

Customers say: True professional

"Jeremy was very professional and did a great job. He had reached out after I scheduled the original appointment to reschedule due to poor weather conditions. He offered to move the appointment to a date/time that he usually doesn t work to accomodate my needs. Once he had finished his work, he walked my fiance and I through everything explained it all very clearly. He also thoroughly explained the process for testing radon levels and getting test results back after the mitigation installation was complete. Would definitely recommend his services as he did a great job and his quote was very competitive."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Ideally, no one will live in a house with elevated radon levels, as prolonged exposure increases the risk of serious health issues like lung cancer. However, homes with radon can be made safe through mitigation systems, such as active soil depressurization. Testing for radon regularly and addressing high levels helps ensure a safe living environment.

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).

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

No, air purifiers are not an effective way to reduce or remove radon. Radon is a radioactive, inert gas that cannot be filtered by standard air purifiers, which are designed to capture particulates like dust and mold. While an air purifier can improve indoor air quality by removing other pollutants, it should not be relied upon for radon. The only effective solution for high radon levels is a dedicated radon mitigation system.

Keeping radon from getting into your home is much better than having to get rid of it once it's already indoors. While there may not be a way to fully prevent radon from getting into your home, there are things you can do to reduce the gas's ability to enter. 

Sealing foundation cracks and openings can help keep the gas from seeping inside. Improving air flow, such as by opening windows, can also be helpful. If you're building your home from scratch, talk to your contractor about using radon-resistant construction to keep the gas out.
