"The first  contact was answered promptly and an estimate meeting was arranged. A few days later the estimate  and shingle color samples were delivered by mail.  No better estimates came.  In fact, most companies contacted failed to respond at all.  When I accepted the offer, we talked again to schedule the job.  He estimated the job would start on July 16, and it did.
They started early on the first day, worked nearly until dark, and came back to finish the next day.  They were done by mid-afternoon.Apart from the roof being all new, I could hardly tell they had been there.  No mess, no mashed plantings, no shingle fragments or nails lying about.  Still waiting for a rain to test it, but it looks great."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the system and property layout.

Your radon fan needs to operate 24/7 to be effective. The only time the fan isn't operating is during its replacement. Radon levels in the home can increase within hours if the fan stops working or something obstructs the stack vent. Fortunately, radon systems require no downtime maintenance between fan changes.

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.

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.

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.
