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.

"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:)"
