"We noticed mold in our house and searched on Angi to find a solution. Mold Doctors Pros, LLC is the company we chose. The owner inspected our home and provided us with a quote to clean it up. We signed a contract for the service. Their truck came and we left the house. 45 minutes later, they demanded $750 more or they would have to replace our insulation for an additional $ 1,800-3,000. If we refused, then the contract stipulated that we had to pay $3000 for the team to stop in the middle of the service. We accepted the demand for the additional $750 with the waiver of the estimation fee. We knew we were being scamed at that point because there is a free estimation cost to the inspection. It is stated on the front of his business card. After the service was finished, we call and asked for a refund of the extra amount. The owner agreed if we signed a complicated "Hold Harmless" agreement. We refused, and that was it. The mold is still present in our house, so we doubt his team did anything, or if they did, then they did a poor job."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, if high levels are detected, professionals can provide solutions for radon reduction.

What is radon? It’s a radioactive gas that naturally occurs in the ground, forming as uranium and thorium decay. It has no color or odor, so you don’t know if it’s seeping into your building’s foundation. Regular exposure to radon gas increases your chances of suffering from lung cancer. Radon testing measures the air inside your house for the presence of radon gas. If detected, the test will measure the severity of radon levels in your home’s air.

The short answer is no, air purifiers do not help with radon. While they certainly can improve the air quality of your home, they only clean pollutants from the air. Radon is radioactive, and it isn’t affected by the same filtration systems that handle other airborne particles, like dust and mold. The only thing that works is a radon mitigation system.

A radon test has no effect on humans—only the radon in the air does. The test does not redistribute the radon that is already present so yes, it’s safe to be around the testing kit even if it isn’t safe to be in the room itself. The test absorbs and measures the radon, but doesn't absorb enough of it to make the room any safer.
