They normally give quotes over the phone but as we thought there maybe some issues with the installation due to our wooden porch and electric meter etc. being in the way, John came out to have a look. He was very knowledgeable and recommended taking the pipe through the garage a short way to the outside wall to avoid the obstructions. The team that came were very professional, explaining everything to me. The work was excellent, very clean, everything well sealed. The fan is whisper quiet. I would definitely recommend this company. 

we had high radon levels in our house.  Radon Abatement talked with me over the phone and gave me a good idea of what would need to be done, came out an expected, provided an estimate, and did the work within 1 week of me contacting them. The work was performed excellently and the technician was very was excellent in explaining operation of the system and cleaned up very nicely.  First class operation all the way around.

Very well. 

Very good experience with this company. John was very responsive in answering messages and emails, and managed to schedule the installation for us on short notice. Crew came on time and did a good job with installation and clean-up. The system looks like it was part of the house from the beginning. Our radon level went from 4.1 to 0.8 with the system installed.

Their website is great as a resource for researching different types of radon reduction system.

Everything went well.  The technicians were very knowledgeable and provided good service.

Good, very pleased.

It went well. The owner described precisely what needed to be installed. The installers seemed very competent and placed the pipe in as unobtrusive a location as possible--even though it was not the easiest location. We are very pleased with the work.

Requested a quote online, received a verbal quote followed up by an emailed written contract, scheduled the work. Workman showed up on time and installed the system.  Pre-treatment radon levels via mailed in tests and also a permanent (movable) Safety Siren Pro Series3 Radon Gas Detector were between 7.2 and 11 pCi/L - far in excess of the EPA action level of 4.  After the system was installed the readings are down to between 0.4. and 0.6 pCi/L. We are very happy with the results!

Outstanding.  Could not have asked for anything more. We had been experiencing high levels of Radon in  our basement area. I measured levels above 6 pCI/L using a a very good electronic radon detector. I located Radon Abatement Services on Angie's List and received an on-line quote from them after answering a number of questions about my home. The quote was very reasonable and well within the range that I expected to pay. They met all of the qualifications you should look for in hiring a radon abatement service. They do no radon testing to preclude any conflict of interest with their clients. The installer  was outstanding, knew what had to be done and completed the installation to my satisfaction in about 6 hours for the quoted price. I'm pleased to say that my radon level has dropped to 1.2 pCI/L since the system was installed a little less than 2 months ago. If you need a radon abatement system definitely call Radon Abatement Services.

Everything went very well. I highly recommend their services they were very good.

We needed to get our radon system moved from the side of the house given it was old and was too large for our small house.  I found Radon Repair on the Angie's List and they came out to the house the next day.  They provided a good solution in which the radon system was smaller and more concealed.  They set up a time to install the system around my schedule and the system looks great.  The system actually took a bit longer than normal to install however the owner kept to his word and only charged the quoted amount, even after giving me a $50 discount!!!! Would highly recommend and would use again in the future. Thanks Vince

I had the house tested for Radon and we had a high enough reading to want to address the problem. I spoke to the owner and he came by and gave me an estimate in February. I was not able to get around to it for a few weeks but when I called he was able to schedule the work the following week. The installers were very professional in their manner and work. They left no mess. They were in and out in one afternoon. I had the system installed in the middle of the house because I had the utility room, hall closet and attic to work through. I am glad I didn't have to install it outside because it would have been unsightly. The fan is whisper quiet and they secured it well so that it does not vibrate. You would not even know the system is in the house. It is out of the way and quiet. I did not price this job out. I wanted to go with someone with a good reputation. I also got a free kit to re-administer the radon test. I haven't gotten around to it so I plan to do it in the next week. While on the roof they noticed a problem on the roof with a flashing and they told me about it so I called call the roofer. In the interim, they placed a silicone seal as a quick fix-it til I could call someone. I don't go on my roof so I wouldn't have known so I felt they went beyond their service by temporarily fixing it and letting me know.

The abatement technician arrived on time, installed an abatement system, explained how it worked and what he would do. Left me a free kit for a follow-up radon test. Everything was done professionally within the timeframe that was promised.

Super!

My husband called John Swett to inquire about the service and the process. John spent over 30 minutes on the phone answering questions and describing what needed to be done. He put us on the schedule for the following week. John called me before the treatment to tell me what to expect and the name of the trained, licensed, certified technician that would be coming to my home. The abatement specialist showed up on time and he was courteous and professional. He cleaned up after himself and showed my husband around after the work was done and educating him on the motors and shut off switches; showing him what work was done to both the inside and outside of our house. The technician then gave him the testing kits and explained the best time and place to take the tests for accurate readings. My husband was so happy with the work that the technician did that when I got home from work, he walked me around the house (both inside and out). He showed me what was done and he stated multiple times that he was impressed with the professionalism and expertise of the gentleman that did the work. (I must apologize for not mentioning the technician's name. I'm ashamed to say that I have forgotten it.) We agonized over the decision of hiring a company to fix this problem for over a year. We were finally comfortable going with Radon Abatement Services because of the consistently excellent ratings that they have received on Angie's List for the last several years. I'm happy to say, they lived up to their reputation and absolutely exceeded our expectations.

We contacted John Swett at Radon Abatement Services because we had two high readings for radon in our home. Mr. Swett was extremely knowledgeable about the subject, but he engaged in no hard sell or scare tactics. He came to our home to give an estimate and described in detail how the radon abatement process was carried out. We decided to go ahead with the work. The were very professional and cleaned up thoroughly after their work. An independent radon test done after the work was completed came back with a 0.6 result, well below the EPA recommendation. We could not be more delighted with our experience with Mr. Swett and his wonderful company.

From the time that I called Radon Abatement to the time the system was installed, there was nothing but professionalism. I had someone come out and give an estimate. I'll admit the first time they came, I missed the appointment, but John was still willing to come out again the next day. This company was rewarded with an acceptance of the job and performed with no delay or lack of professionalism. I would recommend this company again.

I called 3 companies to ask about having a radom remediation system installed. When I first called to get information from Radon Abatement Services, John was in the middle of an installation. He explained that it would be better if he could call me back when he could talk without distractions, and he called me back within the hour. He assessed my situation over the phone, asked very appropriate questions about radon level, age of the house, layout, type of basement, etc., and immediately gave me a feeling of confidence in his knowledge and abilities. John also told me exactly how much it would cost ($800) and emailed me a written fixed price quote (as opposed to cost-based, which can fluctuate based on variations in the job). I was able to schedule my radon mitigation system installation within days. On the day of installation, Martin and his assistant arrived within 10 minutes of the schedule time, which I found impressive considering they had to commute around the beltway in rush hour. Martin did a walk-thru of the basement and exterior of the house to determine the most appropriate location for the pipe and fan. Once the location was determined, they did their thing without any issues. It took about 3 hours. My only TINY complaint was that I wasn't warned that the cracks were sealed with sticky stuff, and I stepped in it...maybe give customers a heads up about that. I have no idea if the radon system actually works at reducing the radon in the house because I have not had it re-tested yet. I hope to never need this service again personally, but I would definitely recommend Radon Abatement Services to family and friends.

We needed to reduce our radon level, which at last reading was 4.3. I chose this company based on Angie's List ratings. John called me back right away and after a thorough conversation over the phone, he provided 2 estimates based on whether or not gravel would be found under the slab of our home. He explained the reason for the cost difference, which made sense to me. John volunteered to drive by our house to get a better assessment of the job involved. He e-mailed me the estimate as a follow up. On the day before my appointment, he sent an e-mail confirmation and also called. His guys, led by Marvin, called when they were on their way over, and arrived on time. After assessing the floorplan, they suggested 3 options for where to place the pipe; and I chose one. John came by later to check up on his team's progress. He explained how to check the fan to make sure it is properly working. He explained the test kits and how to use them. He offered his help when I am ready to do the test, so he could go over it again. After he left, Marvin finished the job and reviewed their work with me. I thought their work was clean and the cost was exactly as John quoted. I haven't run the followup radon test yet, but I expect it to be significantly reduced -- they guarantee a reading of 2. Overall, I found this company to be responsive, professional and competent. They worked efficiently and neatly. Customer service was stellar.

Firm chosen based on high Angie's List ratings. Initial phone consultation, owner did not "need" to come out and inspect the property to do a survey for an estimate. Strange. Said he could get all the info he needed over the phone. OK. Crew arrives on time but job is not what their boss described, they will have to go to Home Depot and get more parts. Job required drilling through the roof eve and through the roof proper. Crew did not seem prepared or comfortable doing this. Crew was not trained in the proper installation of roof pipe collars. The team lead did not seem very competent. On the other hand, the drilling, earth-moving guy who worked under the house in the crawl space was simply amazing. He did an excellent job. The below-grade workmanship was both professional and top-notch. In the end, we paid top dollar and felt like we didn't have a really positive experience. Oh, of course no follow-up from the company, no call from the owner, no call from the technicians. No "how did the install go, are you happy?" They took the money and were gone. Still seems to be working, fingers crossed...

Profession manner, quick work, good guys, showed up on time. There was a slight mis-communication about the followup short-term radon test, (Angies members get a free testing kit, I believe) but John responded quickly and got the kit out right away.

Great experience and I have already recommended the company to neighbors and friends

Radon Abatement Services installed a radon remediation system leading from the basement out through the garage. They did a very nice job. I had considered other companies but decided to go with RAS given the positive reviews on Angie's List and the assurance that installing the system in my garage would work well. Another company had advised against this, though this appears due to the fact that they were either not experienced or not willing to do the extra work this involves. The system apears to be working well, and I have no concerns at time. The owner, John Sweat, came by afterwards to review and confirm it had been installed appropriately, per my request, since he is specifically licensed. Initial radon reading was 5.2, reduced to 1.2. I am very glad that I installed this in the garage, as it is not an eyesore outside. Quite pleased with my experience to date.

John Swett always answered the phone or called back within minutes. He backed up his estimate via e-mail, and it was firm. There were no surprise charges. He and his associate kept their appointment. They provided a test kit. The results were beyond my expectations; I scored less than 0.4, roughly the amount of radon in outside air. I'm delighted. The confidence I had in them as star performers for Angie's List was well worth the cost of the membership.
