"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 found the experience, from the on-site quote, the explanation of services during the on-site quote, the ease of provision of all requested details before acceptance (including licensing information), the accuracy of what I was provided, contacting me to confirm go-ahead, the quality of work, the timeliness of work completion and cleanup (well inside the anticipated time window etr 3 hours, actual about 1.5 hours), the finished system solidity and finish, and the post-work explanation of what to expect, details about the system's operation, and the overnight radon monitor testing to be fantastic. I also very much liked that there was a range of payment methods, and as I opted for credit card, the payment process was simple and came to my email for me to review and pay. I had 20+ pCi/L in my basement (verified by my own testing apparatus) before work, and overnight I was down to 1 pCI/L. I felt the quote was competitive based on information sourced online prior to my consideration of the company. John Woods from Radon Mitigation Masters did an excellent job at each stage, and I would thoroughly recommend him and his company to anyone in the area needing Radon mitigation."
"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."
"Dan was great. He let me walk around and showed me what would be on his report. He talked me through a few simple recommendations as well. He was flexible and friendly. Dan did termite, Raydon, and general home inspection."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts
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).
Keeping radon from getting into your home is much better than having to get rid of it once it's already indoors. While there may not be a way to fully prevent radon from getting into your home, there are things you can do to reduce the gas's ability to enter.
Sealing foundation cracks and openings can help keep the gas from seeping inside. Improving air flow, such as by opening windows, can also be helpful. If you're building your home from scratch, talk to your contractor about using radon-resistant construction to keep the gas out.
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.
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.
Abatement includes sealing entry points and venting with systems that reduce radon levels below recommended EPA limits. It is handled by certified professionals.
