"System itself is good but there were some issues with the install. The technician drilled through the exterior wall into my bedroom and damaged the trim. They also destroyed several of my wife’s plants in the garden and didn’t tell us it was going to be an issue. We could have moved the plants before installation if told."

"I contacted Matt last minute for my townhome inspection and he was very quick to reply and accommodate my request. He was very thorough and walked me through the whole inspection (which took a little over 2 hours) and answered every single questions I had and gave me some suggestions as well. I am an agent and have worked with a few inspectors, but none of them were as thorough as Matt. I HIGHLY recommend him & will definitely be using him for all future inspections."

"As a Realtor, Schan has done many of my clients' radon system install and they all were extremely please with his knowledge, install and his going above and beyond to make the system appealing from the exterior of the home. Many companies will not make the effort to ensure that the system does not look unsightly. Schan does and he is an expert at what he does. I would only recommend Schan to my clients!"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

The natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water can cause radon to appear in a home. The gas seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, walls, or floors, as well as through gaps around pipes or construction joints. Radon levels are influenced by soil composition, building materials, and ventilation. Poorly sealed or airtight homes can trap radon, allowing it to accumulate.

Options include sub-slab depressurization, crawlspace ventilation, and sealing cracks. Choose based on home construction and radon levels.

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.

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.

The soil beneath your house is most likely what’s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it’s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn’t been through periodic radon tests, such as well water. Over time, the radon from the soil can inhabit other parts of your house like the foundation or plumbing.
