"Very friendly, efficient, and prompt. I would hire again. Radon test cost $200.00 which was very competitive. The results didn t need to go a lab."

"Very responsive and informative. Danny explained what was necessary and did an expert level job. Before doing any work he reviewed the entire process with us, and covered all walkways and stairs with tarps. Afterwards he answered all our questions about radon. The after test showed mitigation reduced our radon measurements to 0.51! Excellent work."

"This is a high quality mold/fungi/fungus testing company, with excellent customer service and follow-up. The phones were picked up on the first call each time, and arranging for an appointment was very easy. They arrived on time, were efficient, informing, and friendly in their work, and brought commercial equipment to perform the test samples. The follow up phone call and email on the test results was good, and they provided a potential remediation plan for us to follow on the test results. The third party lab utilized by them had easy to understand numbers, graphs, and descriptions of what was tested. We will do business with Gardner Services again in the near future, and will recommend them to others."

"Chuck was recommended to me by my realtor. He showed up late, but said that was due to an accident and resulting traffic. That is not surprising on a Friday afternoon. He thoroughly inspected my house, was very patient about answering questions and was not shy about telling me his honest opinion about the house's strengths and weaknesses. The report he submitted was neatly prepared and easy to read and included several digital photos. He identified several electrical issues that we would never have known about otherwise and encouraged us to get additional professional advice. We did and the sellers are fixing for us. When I had a follow up question for him, he responded promptly via email. He also encouraged me to contact him if we saw any issues at final walkthrough."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.
