"The owner called and asked the right questions which gave me the confidence that he would be the right person for the job. He was able to come over on the same day we spoke. He was prompt with communication and solidified that he was the right person to do the job. When it was time to do the job: Arrived on time, did clean work - and finished in a timely fashion. After a 6 hours of testing, my device showed the levels went down tremendously."

"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."
"The estimator examined the basement walls and identified four cracks through which water might be coming in and gave a quote. We agreed to have the work done. One service man came and filled the cracks in less than the estimated time. The work involved surface patching the cracks on the inside of the wall, drilling approximately six holes through each crack and injecting a sealant into each crack. Since we haven't had a hard rain since then, we haven't had a real test of whether it holds water out. "
