"Bill was very professional, friendly, and patient with our questions from start to end. He explained the installation in detail along with providing pictures of what to expect. Within 24 hours of installation, Airthings Radon monitor reported a significant radon level drop. After one week, the Radon average has gone from 8.6 to 0.6 pCi/L. Thank you, Bill and Jose."
"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."
"It took less than one hour for the serviceman to replace our old loud radon fan. He was friendly and answered all the questions we had. We highly recommend them."
"Completely satisfied. Would certainly recommend them for Radon mitigation work. They worked efficiently, were neat and clean and the price was quite reasonable."
"Inspection went very well. Very thorough. It more than paid for itself. House Doctors's is licensed by the State to do home inspections, and licensed to actually educate and train other home inspectors. They seem like they want to work for YOU not the realtor."
"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."
"He was extremely helpful and went above and beyond other organizations. He wasn't the cheapest option, but he did very good work. Very accommodating."

There are steps you can take as a homeowner to remediate radon yourself. While a radon reduction professional can make the biggest impact in your home, you can make efforts to improve radon levels on your own by sealing cracks, increasing ventilation, and testing for radon regularly.
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.
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.
