MIDWEST RADON

I recently purchased a foreclosure which tested with elevated levels of Radon during the home inspection. There were some companies that offered significantly less expensive solutions, but not impressed as their bids provided no information and would have been out the basement and up the side of the home which does not look very nice. Midwest Radom came out and we found a route out the basement, through the garage up through unfinished attic space, and out the roof which allowed the exit pipe to come out the roof on the backside of the home. This was actually decided upon during the initial install when we discovered the original solution presented by the estimator was not workable. They were not going to put firestop collars because I live in MO and "that is not required by code" even though I had discussed it with the owner when I first called, because I had done my homework and learned they are important and asked for them. They were going to charge more, but ended up honoring their original offer which I appreciate and feel is reasonable for some 4" PVC pipe, 2 X 2 plastic sheet, 4" radon fan, vacuum gauge, 2 fire collars, and 1 roof penetration flashing with 3-4 hours of labor with 2 technicians. They had to do a penetration from the basement to the garage and from the garage to the attic space. They pulled from an existing outlet for power for the fan and a final penetration out the roof. It took 2 trips to complete the work because it was raining or snowing the first trip they made. They charged $1005.00 for the job and took less than 4 hours to complete. They also performed a follow-up test which showed a decrease in Radon levels in the safe range. I highly recommend Midwest Radon because their price was fair for a good job done to my expectations based on industry best practices which are higher than what the state of Missouri presently requires.

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.

This review is way overdue. Around 4 years ago my wife and I purchased an older home with a partially finished basement in Shawnee, KS. At the time that the home inspection was done the radon levels came back right at the 4.0 pCi/L threshold. After putting it off for a while, I researched a lot of companies before deciding upon Midwest Radon to assist with the radon mitigation. The work was done in June of 2018 and I cannot express how impressed I was with the quality of their work AND the price! Once the work was completed (which was just a matter of hours) and the testing was completed, the radon levels in my basement had dropped to 1.1 pCi/L! The workmen were very nice, respectful and really knew their stuff. In addition to the quality of the workmanship of the install (which still looks as good as it did the day it was installed) I was especially impressed with the fact that on the day of the install (a design specialist was sent out prior to put together the quote and find the best location for the vent pipe) the installers and design specialist were able to work together to come up with an even better design which looks great from the outside of my home. Here is the kicker, even though it was more labor intensive than the original design and required slightly more materials, they completed the install on the same day and DID NOT charge me a penny more than what was originally quoted!! This company and its workers truly do care about customer satisfaction!! In my opinion and based upon my experience, you cannot go wrong by going with Midwest Radon ([*** Link removed ***] for all of your radon mitigation needs! Sincerely, Dan Anderson

It went very well. The radon reading went down from a “7” to less than “1”.

We knew we likely had radon issues because the realtor told us the reading was 16. Midwest confirmed with their tests that it was 14. I engage them as the least expensive of the full service, reputable, radon mitigation services in the area. Our home has two crawlspaces separated by a finished basement so it created a problem for the budget services like the Radon SWAT Team. The fact that they would not even send someone out to estimate suggested that they were going to be less effective at dealing with my issues. Midwest came out on a couple of different occasions because of the delay that we had in committing to the treatment. They also were willing to spend a lot of time with me trying to design a system that would be low profile and as well as effective. I was very pleased to see them try to keep our expense as little as possible and not install two systems. I was also pleased that they were did willing to do the extra work to put the fan in the attic above the garage and virtually eliminate any signs of active treatment. They were flexible in their scheduling and brought out a crew of three to do the work. They were fast and efficient and were able to be in and out of our home that day. They wanted to determine if the initial system was adequate to lower the reading over all before considering installing a secondary system. Thankfully, their multi-day analysis showed a level of one. I confirmed it several weeks later by ordering a test online that also came back as one. While the $2645 that we spent was a lot, we no longer have to worry about radon or its impact on the salability of the house.

Our radon levels where very high (which was anywhere from 10-14) and we found this out about because a neighbor has a radon reader and did testing on all of us in our cul-de-sac. Only two of us had high levels, I thought I could air out our home, but that actually made the levels rise, which was super depressing. I originally found this company on BBB website as well as several other companies that came highly recommended from the Better Business Bureau. I e-mail the company thru the BBB and Wess replied to my need for an estimate on a Mitigation System by email but also suggested a visual inspection for an accurate quote, which I agreed to. He was very clean, professional, knowledgeable and arrived on time. He gave me a quote which I felt was within industry standards and let me know that because I was an Angie's List member I could get an additional discount. We went with this company because the more I researched, this company seemed to have the best reputation for professionalism, knowledge,quality of the system they use and the quality of the crews that are inside your home. His crew showed up on time, clean, professional with all the equipment they needed to perform the job. They walked me thru exactly what they were going to do and what they needed to know. When we were all on the same page, they went to work which they completed in a timely manner. They cleaned up everything and then we did a walk thru where they explained exactly what they did and how the system worked. They set up a monitoring system which they will pick back up in about a week and hopefully our levels will be where we all want them. They made the whole process affordable, easy and painless. Our neighbor who is handy and does everything himself was so impressed that he will probably use them as well.

Went great. Very quick, but thorough. Very professional and friendly.

Great job!!!

They were prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. They explained things in layman's terms and kept us well-informed.

Very well. From making the appointment to date of service, very nice guys! Definitely recommend and would hire again!

Good work. No issues.

I just paid a little more than anybody else. We had a lot things going on and I was very happy with them but they charge a little more.

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 live in a rural area of Idaho and did not find companies close to me.  Searching the internet, I found Midwest Radon and was impressed by the detailed information provided on their website.  I called to see if they would make a recommendation for a company in my surrounding area.  Gary did not have a recommendation around here but he talked with me at length about mitigation methods and materials.  He was very knowledgeable, as evidenced by code, professional society, and ASTM citations.  I found his discussion very helpful. If I lived in his service area he would definitely be my pick!
