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."

"Great, they did the inspection in a timely manner & provided the report in a timely manner. The only problem was that there was no follow up or estimate for installing a radon mitigation system. We really wanted to know the cost of installation & if it was required."

"They did a great job with the installation and made sure the Radon was under the level it needed to be. He had to make a couple of trips to make that happen but was very polite and profession through the whole process."

"I called the company in August, left a message, and recieved no reply. I Called again in October and they came out the next day.
The main problem was that they overestimated the area of my roof. I have a 28 square roof (2800 square-feet). They said i have a 35 and one-third square roof.  Companies charge between $200 and $300 per square, so this is a large difference.
I went with Affordable Pro Roofing which used 31 squares (28 squares + 10% waste) at a cost of $6000, which was $2000 less than EJs estimate.

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

The soil beneath your house is most likely what’s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it’s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn’t been through periodic radon tests, such as well water. Over time, the radon from the soil can inhabit other parts of your house like the foundation or plumbing.

If your home has a sump pit, you can integrate it with a radon mitigation system. You can accomplish this by sealing the pump cover with an airtight lid that accommodates radon vent pipes and sump pump hoses. This allows the vent pipe to redirect the radon gas outside of 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).

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the system and property layout.

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.
