"Called company on Monday and got an appointment for an inspection on Wednesday. That following Monday, the technician arrived and went through each step is sealing off the concrete foundation to the water leak. The fix worked well and was put to the test with the recent record rains. Not one drop of water came into the basement."

"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."
"We were in the inspection process of buying a house, and Greg agreed to do an estimate, even though we knew the crawlspace might have been a deal breaker for us since it was in pretty bad shape. The home inspector suggested a vapor barrier. I searched Angie's list and found Greg and his crew. Another local company I called would not come out to do an estimate since it was only a home inspection, and we weren't 100% sure we were going to buy the house, let alone complete the work after the purchase. Upon talking with Greg the first time, I had a feeling that he was going to do a good job and be easy to work with. He was very straight forward and truthful. The crawlspace was a dirt floor, and probably hadn't been touched in over 20 years. It was dank, wet, full of bugs as evidenced by the webs and old traps. It was also had the beginnings of some rather serious issues from the neglect. The bones were good, but it was definitely time to dry it out and start over. Originally, I was looking to get the sealed with concrete and Greg suggested a new material, a spray on material, to use instead. He assured me it would be strong enough to be used for storage items. It would also save us 4 inches of clearance over the concrete, which makes a difference in a crawl space. I decided to go with it, even though it was a brand new method at the time for Greg and his team. We decided to move forward and buy the house and we also decided to hire Greg and team to help transform the space in to a working storage area. I could not be more happy with the result. Greg's team showed up and immediately got to work. Even though the house was not being lived in at the time and other contractors were there, the entrance and work areas were covered in plastic which is good thing as the guys coming out of the crawl were covered in mud. I was surprised out how swiftly the crew got to work. They got the job done quickly, and were extremely professional throughout the entire process. After a fantastically wet spring, it turns out that a foundation crack was causing some very minor seepage from the outside after all of the work was complete. Other houses in the area had their entire basements and crawls completely flooded. Greg came back and sealed a very small crack free of charge to finish up the job. I wish I had more crawlspaces to give Greg and his team more work. I will definitely use them again should the need arise."
Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts
Mitigation reduces radon levels, protecting your health and complying with safety standards.
If your home has a sump pit, you can integrate it with a radon mitigation system. You can accomplish this by sealing the pump cover with an airtight lid that accommodates radon vent pipes and sump pump hoses. This allows the vent pipe to redirect the radon gas outside of your home.
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).
Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas that poses serious health risks, infiltrating homes through foundation cracks and unnoticed spaces.
You can vent radon out of your house sometimes by simply opening a window, but it won’t remove the source, and will likely rise above recommended levels quickly. A professional will be needed to assess your home, and determine the best strategy for radon removal. Active radon sump pumps and soil depressurization systems are often used to forcefully vent the radon from your home.
