"Bill was very professional, friendly, and patient with our questions from start to end. He explained the installation in detail along with providing pictures of what to expect. Within 24 hours of installation, Airthings Radon monitor reported a significant radon level drop. After one week, the Radon average has gone from 8.6 to 0.6 pCi/L. Thank you, Bill and Jose."
"They contacted us immediately and were here the next day to test our home for radon. They were very thorough and inspired confidence. They also gave us a report of what they found. Also resonable prices!"
"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."
"Schan did a great job, very professional. He came out to see what the job was before he gave me a quote. I have a huge crawl space which took some time but he stuck with it to finish it in one day. Now I can breathe easier knowing it's taking care of right. I highly recommend Clean Air Radon Systems."
"I consulted with Radon Doctor about my home. The four foot high basement had 5 pci in a 48 hour test. The first living floor was 1.5 pci in the same test. Radon Doctor advised me to monitor radon levels on the living floor over 6 months during winter season and get back to them for mitigation if needed. They did not take advantage of a single basement reading to insist I install a system that would not affect the living floor levels. These guys are legit."
"Completely satisfied. Would certainly recommend them for Radon mitigation work. They worked efficiently, were neat and clean and the price was quite reasonable."
"He was very good! He discussed with the seller all of what he found in his inspection and was very professional. I will highly recommend him. He's a great guy!"
Radon Detection and Reduction FAQs, answered by experts
Mitigation reduces radon levels, protecting your health and complying with safety standards.
Keeping radon from getting into your home is much better than having to get rid of it once it's already indoors. While there may not be a way to fully prevent radon from getting into your home, there are things you can do to reduce the gas's ability to enter.
Sealing foundation cracks and openings can help keep the gas from seeping inside. Improving air flow, such as by opening windows, can also be helpful. If you're building your home from scratch, talk to your contractor about using radon-resistant construction to keep the gas out.
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.
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.
No, air purifiers are not an effective way to reduce or remove radon. Radon is a radioactive, inert gas that cannot be filtered by standard air purifiers, which are designed to capture particulates like dust and mold. While an air purifier can improve indoor air quality by removing other pollutants, it should not be relied upon for radon. The only effective solution for high radon levels is a dedicated radon mitigation system.
