"The process was smooth and handled professionally. The team did a review of our house layout, discussed the results of our initial radon testing, and recommended a plan for mitigating the issue. They were flexible with scheduling around the holidays and had the work taken care of in a morning. Levels of radon were completely eliminated as compared to the test before we had the system in place."
"I employed the services of Radon Mitigation Master to run a radon test, install a radon mitigation system, and then retest. From start to finish, John and Ed were punctual, always communicated and kept the line of communication open for any questions I had. They conducted the install very quietly, clean, and efficiently. They then retested, and the system was able to reduce the radon by 90% plus. I would recommend RMM to any acquaintance, friend, or family member. Thank you John and Ed!"
"Very knowledgeable and thorough. Climbed up and looked at the roof even though it was pouring rain. Very patient - explained every detail to the buyers. Inspection report was clear and noted everything we had discussed. Excellent job."
"The Advanta team was superb in every way. During the proposal stage they documented the work to be done with specificity and answered each question we asked. During the project, the techs were unobtrusive, professional and responsive to our needs. The work was completed on the agreed upon schedule and our home tested clean to earn a clearance letter from our testing firm. Our family had dreaded the cost and disruption that we imagined the remediation would cause but Advanta performed its tasks in a manner which proved each of our concerns were unfounded. We recommend Advanta without reservation for mold remediation."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts
Ideally, no one will live in a house with elevated radon levels, as prolonged exposure increases the risk of serious health issues like lung cancer. However, homes with radon can be made safe through mitigation systems, such as active soil depressurization. Testing for radon regularly and addressing high levels helps ensure a safe living environment.
Radon is the number one non-smoking cause of lung cancer in the United States, but it can cause some other concerning side effects in the meantime. If you have a raspy voice, chest pains, trouble breathing, difficulty swallowing, or any of the above, don’t hesitate to perform radon testing and install a mitigation system as soon as possible.
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.
The average radon mitigation system uses about 876 kWh of electricity per year, although the exact amount of electricity used will vary depending on the size of the radon fan. Once the system is installed, the annual increase to your energy bill could range from $30 to $300 per year, again depending on the size of the fan.
Your radon mitigation system may be loud because it’s time to replace it. Any sounds are usually from the inline fan that helps create the vacuum and resulting airflow. If you hear a new, loud mechanical or humming noise from your radon fan, it might be time to replace it. Most fans used in radon mitigation systems last up to 10 years, but may need to be replaced sooner.
