"AdvantaClean installed a radon mitigation system at my house. Within two years, the piping they put in on the outside of the house to vent the gas collapsed. Upon further inspection, the ~30ft., ~50lb. pipe had been affixed upright by two plastic ties screwed to the siding, and the weight of the pipe had caused the screws to tear through the thin plastic on both ties. Similar systems I've looked at in the neighborhood use lighter, metal, gutter-like pipes, and metal ties (stronger ties for lighter pipes!). When contacted, Dave (the owner) tried to get me to pay $300 to fix it, claiming that he otherwise "couldn't help me" because I couldn't reasonably expect their work to last for almost two years. He also said any kind of warranty was void because "wind damage" wasn't covered. The winds in Frederick topped out at 8mph the day it fell, but I guess he's right. It honestly WOULD be unreasonable to expect this quality of work to hold up to normal weather events (normal storms and winds in a fairly mild weather part of the country) and wear for two whole years! I'm frankly surprised it didn't fall earlier. Oh, and it took me calling AdvantaClean three times to get ahold of him (thought I was promised a call back each time!), but that's way less egregious than the whole "doing sub-par work and trying to get me to pay for it when it failed" thing."

If you are concerned about the possibility you have mold in your home or see evidence of mold growth, contact us immediately! We have experienced Certified Mold Inspectors (CMI #81281) who will come in and do a complete inspection of your home or business. We are positioned to provide an assessment of the indoor air quality or environmental quality concern of private homes, commercial buildings and institutional complexes. If necessary, we will take air samples in the area of concern to determine the levels of contamination. If visible mold is present, we can do surface testing to determine the species of mold. Testing samples are sent to a non-affiliated leading environmental testing firm and test results are back after 48 hours.* After a review of laboratory results from samples taken while onsite and from our visual inspection, we can recommend and refer you to proper mold remediation companies that can correct the issue if deemed necessary. Your safety is our main concern and to the best of our ability, we will be there to help you have “The Safest Air You Can Breathe!” Your peace of mind is our best reward.

"Absolutely phenomenal Robert and Cindy are amazing to work with and make sure that the client is also educated which is extremely important in today’s modern age!"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

The soil beneath your house is most likely what’s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it’s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn’t been through periodic radon tests, such as well water. Over time, the radon from the soil can inhabit other parts of your house like the foundation or plumbing.

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.

It is possible to test for radon yourself using DIY radon test kits, but these at-home test kits should never be a replacement for professional radon testing. DIY test kits can provide some information about radon exposure in your house, but your indoor temperature and humidity can affect the results, as can improper usage of the test kit. You could save yourself some money by hiring a radon professional to begin with, and when it comes to your family’s safety, hiring an experienced professional to do the testing is usually the best option.

Costs depend on property size, test types, and additional services like mold sampling.

Yes, DIY kits are available, but professional testing provides more accurate results and comprehensive reports.
