"We had a radon remediation installed by them in 2021. We've had to replace the fan 2x already- whereas the expected lifetime of a fan is 8-10 years."

"Very easy to get an appointment on short notice when I had limited time to get a radon test done in the process of purchasing a home. Their price was also slightly lower than an estimate I'd received from another company, and the technician was more thorough about explaining the process than the other company I considered."

"The estimator examined the basement walls and identified four cracks through which water might be coming in and gave a quote.  We agreed to have the work done.  One service man came and filled the cracks in less than the estimated time.  The work involved surface patching the cracks on the inside of the wall, drilling approximately six holes through each crack and injecting a sealant into each crack.  Since we haven't had a hard rain since then, we haven't had a real test of whether it holds water out.

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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.

No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is present everywhere, complete avoidance is impossible. 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 preventative measures if your home's radon levels are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.

Your radon mitigation system may be loud because it’s time to replace it. Any sounds are usually from the inline fan that helps create the vacuum and resulting airflow. If you hear a new, loud mechanical or humming noise from your radon fan, it might be time to replace it. Most fans used in radon mitigation systems last up to 10 years, but may need to be replaced sooner.

No, air purifiers are not an effective way to reduce or remove radon. Radon is a radioactive, inert gas that cannot be filtered by standard air purifiers, which are designed to capture particulates like dust and mold. While an air purifier can improve indoor air quality by removing other pollutants, it should not be relied upon for radon. The only effective solution for high radon levels is a dedicated radon mitigation system.

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.
