"We hired Mr. Joeseph Danes, owner, of Apex Radon LLC in Boise, to mitigate radon in our home. This was not a simple project: our house has a partial slab, a section of full basement, and two crawl spaces. Apex Radon LLC was the only Boise company that could conduct under slab pressure tests. We admit that we are not the easiest homeowners to work with â two retired mechanical engineers. Other contractors have likely found us exasperating. To our delight, Joeseph matched our high standards and attention to detail. We found him to be hard working, very knowledgeable, thorough, professional, and personable. Because of our homeâ s complexity, Mr. Danes designed a two-stage system. Stage 1 has been installed and radon concentration throughout the house has already dropped below the USA recommended level. This may change in the winter when frozen ground can cause indoor radon to increase. If so, we will gladly hire Apex Radon to install Stage 2."

"Craig Burton, the person who responded to my call and conducted the air quality testing was highly professional and enlightened me about the process from start to finish. Beyond the actual samples taken indoors and outside my home to set up the differential readings needed, he took moisture & thermal readings in the area of concern. I felt confident when samples were sent off that mine would not be confused with anyone elseâ s and that the manner in which they were conducted would assure accurate testing."

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.

If high radon levels are detected, steps include sealing entry points, installing a mitigation system, and retesting the air regularly to ensure reduced levels.

No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is naturally present everywhere, it is impossible to avoid entirely. The average radon level in homes across the United States is 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking action to reduce radon levels if your home's test results are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.

The average radon mitigation system uses about 876 kWh of electricity per year, although the exact amount of electricity used will vary depending on the size of the radon fan. Once the system is installed, the annual increase to your energy bill could range from $30 to $300 per year, again depending on the size of the fan.

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.
