"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

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.

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

Radon enters your home when warm air begins to rise and exits through the roof, creating a vacuum that pulls cooler air from under the foundation. Part of that air is radon, which is an invisible, odorless gas that develops naturally when radioactive particles are deep within the ground. Those particles usually come from decaying matter in soil and rocks.

You'll need to test your home for radon after installing the mitigation system, then again every two years. If radon remains elevated, contact a licensed radon professional, either the contractor who installed the system or a different one, and have them evaluate the system. They may need to make some changes to improve its effectiveness and performance.

The lifespan of a radon mitigation system depends on the type of system and its maintenance. With proper care, a system can last for many decades. Passive systems tend to last longer as they have fewer components that require replacement. Active systems, which have more moving parts like fans, generally have a shorter lifespan. For instance, water filtration devices and active pressurization systems require more frequent maintenance. While the system as a whole is durable, the radon fan in an active system typically has a lifespan of 5 to 10 years and will need to be replaced. As long as the fan is working, the mitigation system should function correctly.
