"We were very happy with the crew who worked in our home. Very professional. Prepared the site so we could not tell they had even been in our home. Testing following the job indicated that the radon gas was leaving our home. Our radon level went from 12 to 0."

"Dave Gardner set us up with an appointment in only two days for installation of a radon mitigation system. Daveâ  s son, Jordan, and his team were very professional, courteous, friendly, honest, and informative in going over their â  game planâ  for our installation system. Our radon level went from 8.9 pre-mitigation, to .4 post-mitigation when we had the test done one week later. Jordan informed us about what he was doing during the installation. We have already referred Gardner Environmental Services to family and friends who also need radon mitigation systems."

"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."

"Called company on Monday and got an appointment for an inspection on Wednesday. That following Monday, the technician arrived and went through each step is sealing off the concrete foundation to the water leak. The fix worked well and was put to the test with the recent record rains. Not one drop of water came into the basement."

"Nick contacted me almost immediately after scheduling my initial appointment through home advisor. He was timely with his appointments, professional during his conversations, and he worked efficiently during the project itself. I love that his work has a transferable written guarantee!!! His prices are competative, and his work is great. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs to mitigate their home for radon gas."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Radon is the number one non-smoking cause of lung cancer in the United States, but it can cause some other concerning side effects in the meantime. If you have a raspy voice, chest pains, trouble breathing, difficulty swallowing, or any of the above, don’t hesitate to perform radon testing and install a mitigation system as soon as possible.

No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is naturally present everywhere, it is impossible to avoid entirely. The average radon level in homes across the United States is 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking action to reduce radon levels if your home's test results are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.

You'll need to test your home for radon after installing the mitigation system, then again every two years. If radon remains elevated, contact a licensed radon professional, either the contractor who installed the system or a different one, and have them evaluate the system. They may need to make some changes to improve its effectiveness and performance.

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 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.
