"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."

"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."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Ideally, no one will live in a house with elevated radon levels, as prolonged exposure increases the risk of serious health issues like lung cancer. However, homes with radon can be made safe through mitigation systems, such as active soil depressurization. Testing for radon regularly and addressing high levels helps ensure a safe living environment.

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.

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.

Your radon mitigation system may be loud because it’s time to replace it. Any sounds are usually from the inline fan that helps create the vacuum and resulting airflow. If you hear a new, loud mechanical or humming noise from your radon fan, it might be time to replace it. Most fans used in radon mitigation systems last up to 10 years, but may need to be replaced sooner.

Options include sub-slab depressurization, crawlspace ventilation, and sealing cracks. Choose based on home construction and radon levels.
