Q: Do air purifiers help with radon?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What would cause radon in a house?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How often should you replace a radon fan?

• <div><p>Many radon fans carry a five-year manufacturer's warranty. That said, your radon fan should last between five and ten years. Regular inspections will ensure the fan is operating properly. Unusual or exceptional noise coming from the fan or indications on your manometer or system monitor can immediately tell you that something is amiss.</p></div>

Q: How is radon gas abatement professionally handled?

• <div><p>Abatement includes sealing entry points and venting with systems that reduce radon levels below recommended EPA limits. It is handled by certified professionals.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace a radon fan?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

They did the installation quickly at a decent price and the Radon level went from 5.5 down to less than 1.0. My only minor complaint is that they did not fill out the paperwork they left with me (information about company Certification/ License #, date of installation, Fan Model, phone #, etc).

The radon serviceman provided excellent service. He determined that a bird had ended in the flue pipe which did not have a protective device. This caused the pump to stop working. He replaced the pump and everything went back to normal. He did an excellent job and was very courteous.

Everything went very well and Dave was very thorough. My only complaint is with the "thermal imaging" I purchased for an extra $125. I really saw zero value from that and nothing about the thermal scans was included in the report. I'd suggest just using him for inspection and radon testing.
