"I would HIGHLY recommend Midwest Radon. Everyone we came in contact with at this company was so professional, so polite and so friendly. From the time I contacted Wes till the time the installers left, everyone was done with complete professionalism. On top of that, I have a HIGH confidence that the radon issue at my home has been rectified. "
"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 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.
Mitigation can take several days depending on home setup, equipment accessibility, and achieving effective diffusion system sealed efficiency.
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.
Your radon fan needs to operate 24/7 to be effective. The only time the fan isn't operating is during its replacement. Radon levels in the home can increase within hours if the fan stops working or something obstructs the stack vent. Fortunately, radon systems require no downtime maintenance between fan changes.
You'll need to test your home for radon after installing the mitigation system, then again every two years. If radon remains elevated, contact a licensed radon professional, either the contractor who installed the system or a different one, and have them evaluate the system. They may need to make some changes to improve its effectiveness and performance.
