"We chose Chicago Crawlspace because Andy was punctual, professional, well versed and provided us with a detailed quote of the services being provided. We apppreciated that the pricing given to us was broken down and each specific task was assigned a cost - as opposed to a company just giving a lump sum quote. We even knew the brand and cost of the sump pump being installed.

The crew was on time and finished on schedule. All existing debris in the crawlspace was bagged and removed from the crawlspace by the crew before they began laying the liner. One challenge we had involved our water softening system which is located in our crawlspace. Andy was very willing to work with us and did not require us to have the equipment removed before doing the work. He provided a plumber to disconnect and then reconnect the system. The softener and the salt holding tank are located beneath the opening to the crawlspace to allow for easy access. Pouring the concrete floor would result in losing a few inches of height clearance and make refilling the salt tank very inconvenient if we moved it farther away from the opening. We discussed it with Andy and he said that he would have his men dig down a few inches - at no additional charge - under the tank so that we would still be able to refill the tank fairly easily and keep it near the opening.

Overall we are very saisfied with Chicago Crawlspace and the job they did. We would definitely use them again and have no problem recommending them to others."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Long-term exposure increases lung cancer risks. Prolonged homestay individuals and smokers encounter heightened vulnerability and exposure concerns.

If high radon levels are detected, steps include sealing entry points, installing a mitigation system, and retesting the air regularly to ensure reduced levels.

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.

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.

No, air purifiers are not an effective way to reduce or remove radon. Radon is a radioactive, inert gas that cannot be filtered by standard air purifiers, which are designed to capture particulates like dust and mold. While an air purifier can improve indoor air quality by removing other pollutants, it should not be relied upon for radon. The only effective solution for high radon levels is a dedicated radon mitigation system.
