"Ross called back within 30 minutes and set up an appointment for the same week at my convenience. He was extremely professional and very easy to work with. He was on time both time he had to be in my home. I had my results in my email within a few hours of him picking up the sensors. I truly appreciate his time and explanations. I would definitely recommend Ross and Boomtown Radon Testing without hesitation."

"They contacted us immediately and were here the next day to test our home for radon. They were very thorough and inspired confidence. They also gave us a report of what they found. Also resonable prices!"

"I highly recommend Midwest Radon Services and I am relieved that the system installed was effective. Price was fair and competitive; all work was thoroughly and patiently explained with no pressure. Work was neatly and expertly finished. Suction under the basement slab was tested by measuring into a hole drilled then patched at the other side of the basement and turned out to be extremely good. The system continues to work extremely well with a sight verifiable U-tube monometer on the exhaust system continually monitoring. In addition, over 18 days since installation, the long term Radon readings, on two different digital testers purchased from Amazon, went way down from a maximum of 4.5, to a range of 0.83 - 0.6 during the time when the furnace was being used which is also a time that Radon readings tend to peak."

"I rarely post reviews. Sidad came out a day after I called about our 9.5 radon level to inspect and tell us about the installation route of his mitigation system in our basement. He returned the next morning, installed the system & our 3rd party test report came back at 0.3 which she said was super low. I can not say enough about Clue Radon and his excellent job! And on top of that he is honest and very kind! BTW I first called 3 well known Radon Companies in Lake and Dupage County and they all said I'd be looking at a 2-3 week wait because they are that busy. Call Clue Radon:)"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Your radon fan needs to operate 24/7 to be effective. The only time the fan isn't operating is during its replacement. Radon levels in the home can increase within hours if the fan stops working or something obstructs the stack vent. Fortunately, radon systems require no downtime maintenance between fan changes.

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.

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.

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.

The cost to replace a radon fan ranges from $300 to $600 for the fan itself, with installation adding an additional $200 to $500. Overall, the total cost for replacement can range from $500 to $1,100, depending on factors such as the fan model, home size, and local labor rates. If the fan is part of a larger radon mitigation system, the price may be higher.
