"I had originally planned on installing a mitigation system myself, having already priced out all of the parts, etc. necessary. I called Trenton to get a ballpark estimate and found him very reasonably priced, based on what the materials cost. I had him come and do a baseline test and the result was that my Radon level was under the EPA recommended limits. Trenton made me aware of this and said based on this, I did not need mitigation to reach EPA limits, but if I did decide to do it, it would definitely reduce what I did have. He said it was up to me, that he could not make a recommendation either way. WHAT A REFRESHING AND PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE. NO PRESSURE.... My opinion is that the only good Radon is no Radon and elected to get the mitigation. We scheduled the mitigation system install right then. Day of install Trenton was prompt, made next to no dust even though he cut through my basement floor and wall, and finished early. He then set up follow up test and I tested at 1.2. AWESOME. He reviewed the system with me, what to expect going forward and asked for any questions. PROFESSIONAL ALL THE WAY."

"I would definitely recommend this company to someone that needed radon mitigation. Setting up my appointment was very easy and they took the time to explain everything that would happen. Lance was really nice and easy to work with. The whole appointment took longer than I had hoped so try to be free for the whole day instead of a half day. I am very happy with this company."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

If your home has a sump pit, you can integrate it with a radon mitigation system. You can accomplish this by sealing the pump cover with an airtight lid that accommodates radon vent pipes and sump pump hoses. This allows the vent pipe to redirect the radon gas outside of your home.

The lifespan of a radon mitigation system depends on the type of system and its maintenance. With proper care, a system can last for many decades. Passive systems tend to last longer as they have fewer components that require replacement. Active systems, which have more moving parts like fans, generally have a shorter lifespan. For instance, water filtration devices and active pressurization systems require more frequent maintenance. While the system as a whole is durable, the radon fan in an active system typically has a lifespan of 5 to 10 years and will need to be replaced. As long as the fan is working, the mitigation system should function correctly.

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.

The natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water can cause radon to appear in a home. The gas seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, walls, or floors, as well as through gaps around pipes or construction joints. Radon levels are influenced by soil composition, building materials, and ventilation. Poorly sealed or airtight homes can trap radon, allowing it to accumulate.

No, radon mitigation systems do not decrease home value or make a home harder to sell. In areas where homes experience similar radon exposure risks, a radon mitigation system is viewed as an improvement. Potential homebuyers often opt to buy a home with a radon mitigation system already installed to reduce the risk of cancer for their families.
