"We had 3 different contractors give us estimates. One didn't even come to our house, just gave us a quote over the phone. The first two both wanted to put the pipe in the basement utility room, which would have it running up the back of the house beside our deck. Roger Dahlby looked at that location, which would have the fan between and in close proximity to a propane shutoff valve and a central air conditioner. He said that that would be a code violation, which he would know since he helped write the codes. He suggested putting it in a basement closet which ran the pipe up the back of the house, out of sight. I offered that location to the other two contractors, and they refused. Roger showed up about an hour late and forgot to bring a ladder, but otherwise did a fantastic job. The work only took about 2-1/2 hours, was very clean and neat. He explained all the details of the work he did, and explained the warranty on the work clearly. The pipe in the closet is not in the way of anything, and once the clothes were put back in we can't hear the fan noise at all. The radon reading 2 days later was down to 1.3 pCi/L, well below the EPA limit of 4. He would not accept payment until proof of mitigation. We could not be happier with the work and the extra thought and care in placement. We are very impressed with Roger and his team."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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 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.

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.

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.
