"I was refereed to this company through my home owners insurance.  I paid him on the 7th with a 2500.00 check as a deposit.  on the 13th after he had repeatedly been over he kept on "forgetting" to bring the contract. I drew one up on my legal pad and had him sign it so I do have an agreement.  In the contract was removal and haul away of debris and old shower stall, mold treatment, application of Dry Lock on walls, Instillation of new larger sump pump and tank, and instillation of new drain around the edge of the basement all to be completed on or before July 15, 2011.

The mold treatment and application of dry lock went well.  Now every time the new sump pump kicks on water shoots out of the bathroom sink upstairs.  When the workers started to install the new drain in the basement floor they could not saw through the concrete.  They even tried to use a jack hammer in one corner.  Now there is worse leakage where they were able to score the floor and the corner where they jack hammered has a constant puddle. 

He informed us that they could not install the drain in the basement and could not fix the issue with the sump pump.  The job was "completed" on the 19th. I asked for Mr. Fowler to pay to have a plumber install a working drain and fix the sump pump.  He told me he could not but he could refund me $300.00 of what I had already paid. 

The only reason that we were going to have the drain installed was because he told us the mold would just keep on comping back, and that he would be able to do the total job.  The job is not completed, there is debris in the front yard, and the cleanup in the basement was incomplete.

I feel that because we are elderly we have been taken advantage of and we do not want others to go through the same experience.  I feel frustrated with myself for not thoroughly researching this company before the work was started.

He did just recently come by my home and refunded $1000 of the $2500 that I paid him initially.  I appreciate the attempt on his part to make a settlement for the work."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

There are steps you can take as a homeowner to remediate radon yourself. While a radon reduction professional can make the biggest impact in your home, you can make efforts to improve radon levels on your own by sealing cracks, increasing ventilation, and testing for radon regularly.

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

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.

The fan that pulls the radon out of the air needs to run continuously, so you may see an increase in your electric bill once you install the mitigation system. Additionally, you may see an increase in your heating or cooling bills, as the fan can cause some loss of hot or cool air.

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.
