"This is the best company to have ever worked in my house. It took me a week of reviews and readings before selecting American Radon Systems to install the radon mitigation system in my house and I made the right choice. Bill and the rest of the workers are extreemly courteous. Bill took time to come and explain every details to me. He was so friendly and it was like we've been friend for a very long. I think Bill enjoy his work than the money. His staffs are very dedicated to the work, well organize, and pay attentions to details. The materials they used were topnotch qualities (I checked online) and the finishings were so perfect. Within a day, the radon in my basement dropped from 6 to below 1.0 and has stay low ever since (very effective). The cost was relatively low (very cheap). In general, I will rate American Radon Systems 10/5! Yes, the rating was not an error but because they exceeded my expectations. Please, hire American Radon Systems and thank me later! Thanks again Bill. I will recommend you any day to anybody without reservation."

"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."

"Very easy to get an appointment on short notice when I had limited time to get a radon test done in the process of purchasing a home. Their price was also slightly lower than an estimate I'd received from another company, and the technician was more thorough about explaining the process than the other company I considered."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Mitigation reduces radon levels, protecting your health and complying with safety standards.

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.

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).

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.

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.
