"Dave was on time, courteous and quietly and efficiently did high quality work. We still need to do the radon test but definitely happy with the quality of work. Will update the review once we have been able to complete the independent radon testing. Thanks!"

As a real estate professional I know I'll need the services again and I know that he is the person I will be calling. Thank you!"

"Chuck was recommended to me by my realtor. He showed up late, but said that was due to an accident and resulting traffic. That is not surprising on a Friday afternoon. He thoroughly inspected my house, was very patient about answering questions and was not shy about telling me his honest opinion about the house's strengths and weaknesses. The report he submitted was neatly prepared and easy to read and included several digital photos. He identified several electrical issues that we would never have known about otherwise and encouraged us to get additional professional advice. We did and the sellers are fixing for us. When I had a follow up question for him, he responded promptly via email. He also encouraged me to contact him if we saw any issues at final walkthrough."

"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

The average radon mitigation system uses about 876 kWh of electricity per year, although the exact amount of electricity used will vary depending on the size of the radon fan. Once the system is installed, the annual increase to your energy bill could range from $30 to $300 per year, again depending on the size of the fan.

No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is present everywhere, complete avoidance is impossible. 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 preventative measures if your home's radon levels are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.

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.

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.

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).
