"RADON SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING. (Installed by another company years ago). The phone contact was pleasant and efficient. The Technician came on the agreed day and the agreed time: he explained what was wrong, explained the options, then repaired the system so it is working better than it did when first installed."

Work was done promptly and the crew was friendly and thorough.  They installed a cap over the floor drain that prevents air from infiltrating from the foundation drainage system while still allowing any water from the basement to escape should the washer overflow or a pipe break, etc.  As a result (and side benefit) my basement is less humid and no longer has that occasional musty smell.

Six months later and everything is working fine.  A retest for Radon showed virtually no presence whereas, before, tests showed a rather high concentration.

"In both spoken and written communication, this company was extremely professional. In the end they were a few thousand dollars higher in their estimate than the company I went with. If not for that I would have gone with EJS and I wouldn't hesitate to mention them to friends and family. I wanted to give them a good review here simply due to the level of courtesy, promptness, and professionalism they displayed.

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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).

Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas that poses serious health risks, infiltrating homes through foundation cracks and unnoticed spaces.

Mitigation can take several days depending on home setup, equipment accessibility, and achieving effective diffusion system sealed efficiency.

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.

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.
