"A small testing device was set up in our basement and was left in place three days. The device was then picked up and we received a phone call a day later informing us of the radon level detected. This was followed up by a professionally prepared report mailed to us detailing the results and how to interpret them."

"Radon Tec worked with me on a reinspection after mitigation. They understood my time demands and that I was living out of state. They completed task on time and on estimate price. Tech even forwarded invoice/results to the closing to give everyone a chance to review documents before closing. I would give a higher rating if I could."

"Ross called back within 30 minutes and set up an appointment for the same week at my convenience. He was extremely professional and very easy to work with. He was on time both time he had to be in my home. I had my results in my email within a few hours of him picking up the sensors. I truly appreciate his time and explanations. I would definitely recommend Ross and Boomtown Radon Testing without hesitation."

"The owner called and asked the right questions which gave me the confidence that he would be the right person for the job. He was able to come over on the same day we spoke. He was prompt with communication and solidified that he was the right person to do the job. When it was time to do the job: Arrived on time, did clean work - and finished in a timely fashion. After a 6 hours of testing, my device showed the levels went down tremendously."

"I highly recommend Midwest Radon Services and I am relieved that the system installed was effective. Price was fair and competitive; all work was thoroughly and patiently explained with no pressure. Work was neatly and expertly finished. Suction under the basement slab was tested by measuring into a hole drilled then patched at the other side of the basement and turned out to be extremely good. The system continues to work extremely well with a sight verifiable U-tube monometer on the exhaust system continually monitoring. In addition, over 18 days since installation, the long term Radon readings, on two different digital testers purchased from Amazon, went way down from a maximum of 4.5, to a range of 0.83 - 0.6 during the time when the furnace was being used which is also a time that Radon readings tend to peak."

David was reassuring and pleasant to work with. I would recommend his company, to anyone."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Radon is present almost everywhere but, like sunlight, the concentration levels and how often you are exposed to it have a large part to play in just how dangerous it is. There are levels of radon that are acceptable inside a house, but above a certain limit, radon becomes a serious radioactive hazard that is a known cause of lung cancer. In fact, radon exposure is the number two leading cause of lung cancer (after smoking).

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.

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.

A homeowner can install a radon mitigation system on their own. But it’s a challenging DIY that requires a lot of knowledge about radon mitigation as well as familiarity with local regulations. You do not want to risk an improper installation that leaves the system unable to detect radon or gives it a shortened life span. Relying on a professional is the surest way to guarantee a successful installation.
