SWAT Environmental has installed over 50,000 radon systems throughout the country. We are America’s largest radon abatement company, and we have more certified technicians on staff than any other competitor. The experienced staff at SWAT Environmental leads the industry in removing radon from homes, schools, apartment buildings, condominiums, commercial and government buildings. SWAT Environmental is a trusted partner of some of the largest real estate firms in the country, and we lead the industry in quality and overall value. All of our technicians go through a rigorous training program that prepares them to make your home or office safe from the dangers of radon. When you have a problem with radon, you can trust the experienced professionals at SWAT Environmental.

"Home buyers beware: SWAT gets business with lower prices than competitors but do not be fooled. Do not go through with a home closing if the sellers have hired SWAT. Our experience: The radon mitigation work performed by SWAT has been unsuccessful in mitigating the radon in our home which was part of the closing. Since we became owners of the property SWAT have installed a second sub-slab system, added a crawl space vapor barrier, added two additional “taps” to the two sub-slab systems, and changed fans on both systems. Radon piping was visible in every quadrant of the basement; the impact on the finished basement’s aesthetic was significant –and the systems looked very sloppy and cobbled together. Also they chose a location of the first system inches from master bedroom window which was unacceptable for the noise. Despite all this effort the radon readings were still high, 10-13 pCi/L. SWAT concluded the persistent radon levels were due to a “cold joint” in the foundation of the basement, which is an expansion joint (gap) between the concrete slab and the concrete block walls. This cold joint runs along the perimeter of the basement’s outside walls. They recommended sealing off this joint with a flexible yet impermeable material. In order to access the cold joint, the basement walls’ finishing would need to be removed. Before we took this drastic action we decided to get a second opinion from another radon company who is locally owned/operated. They assessed the mitigation systems installed by SWAT and identified several problems including inadequately sealed suction points, pipe joints not glued - see pics, inadequate suction pits dug under the slab, and illegally wired fans. The company indicated they have replaced “dozens” of systems installed by SWAT locally. We have since had work done by the other company and radon levels have been successfully mitigated."

We offer state-of-the-art medical and surgical treatments for many symptoms women face. Our practice includes three board-certified obstetrician/gynecologists, a nurse midwife, and a physician's assistant. These providers, along with the staff work hard to promote a comfortable and caring environment. Dr. Frederick was the first general gynecologist in the state of Kentucky (and in our servic area) to successfully complete the requirements to utilize the Da vinci robotic surgical system. This allows for minimally invasive hysterectomy and pelvic floor surgery that would otherwise require large incisions. We also treat female urinary incontinence, many types of sexual dysfunction, and prolapse of the vagina, uterus, and bladder.

"It went very well! Tim came to the apartment and looked at the issue. He told me that he will place the order for the new and more efficient unit than the old boiler and install asap. Tim's crew came the following Monday to demolish the old boiler and installed the new boiler on the same day. The new boiler was up and running on the same day. It was a smooth startup!"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

The only way to determine if you have a radon problem in your home is to have professional testing done. You can buy DIY radon test kits, but these are sometimes inaccurate in certain temperatures and humidity levels, and they don’t paint the entire picture in terms of your radon exposure. Scheduling testing once every two to five years is best. You can also look out for the following symptoms, which, according to the American Cancer Society, are symptoms of radon exposure:

  • Shortness of breath

  • Cough

  • Tightness in the chest

  • Difficulty swallowing

  • Hoarseness

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.

Long-term exposure increases lung cancer risks. Prolonged homestay individuals and smokers encounter heightened vulnerability and exposure concerns.

The short answer is no, air purifiers do not help with radon. While they certainly can improve the air quality of your home, they only clean pollutants from the air. Radon is radioactive, and it isn’t affected by the same filtration systems that handle other airborne particles, like dust and mold. The only thing that works is a radon mitigation system.

What is radon? It’s a radioactive gas that naturally occurs in the ground, forming as uranium and thorium decay. It has no color or odor, so you don’t know if it’s seeping into your building’s foundation. Regular exposure to radon gas increases your chances of suffering from lung cancer. Radon testing measures the air inside your house for the presence of radon gas. If detected, the test will measure the severity of radon levels in your home’s air.
