"Nick and Dori are a good team. I was promptly contacted by Dori and after a quick phone call, we were able to schedule an appointment for radon mitigation. Nick showed up and installed everything. It took 2 days, but that was only because the day of the initial install was very windy and rainy. Nick was very conscious of safe work and did not perform unsafe tasks. Once the install was complete, they provided me with a radon test that I submitted for validation of mitigation."

"The company's responsiveness to our urgent situation was extraordinary. The owner made a 60 mile trip to examine our situation on Sunday morning! He expected at least a week before they could do the work, but he got it done the next morning so that we would have safe water...we had been waiting for another contractor for more than 3 months! The installed radon mitigation system has performed flawlessly. We are grateful and confidently give AquaMax our highest recommendation."

"This year, my shop was in the basement (I make turned wooden bowls) radon level inexplicably increased from the 2.5 - 4.0 level to 8.0 - 11.0 level. I decided I was not going to work down there unless I did something about radon abatement. The guys said I needed one port under my basement floor, but I opted for two --- one near the exit port of the system and one in the center of the house. I had crushed stone and a vapor barrier under the floor, but radon was still getting in. After the installation lasting 3 hours, twenty-seven hours after install, the level was 0.83. Now after 1 week the level is 0.48 I am ok with that. I have not seen the results from the lab yet, but my continuous meter has been a good indication of what is happening. I am concerned now about radon in my drinking water, but cannot comment on that yet. Dick P Alna, ME"

"It went fantastic. Scheduling wise the gentlemen at Rhino Radon were quick to respond to our inquiry via there website were I filled out a online questionnaire. Once speaking to Henry about the specifics of my home via phone and letting him no my situation. They were prompt in scheduling a date for installation to assure my radon problem didn't delay my ability to sell the home. From the time I filled out there questionnaire on there website till the system was installed and fully operational, all took place In one weeks time. I no from experience that these days the attentiveness and service Rhino Radon provided me can be difficult to find. Having recently just finished the process of building my own home in Malden and dealing with a wide range of company's and workers. It's the little things that stand out like personal treatment,responding quick to inquiries or concerns and of course taking the time to do things properly the first time around while still treating the home with respect. Rhino Radon came recommended to me via a friend and I couldn't thank them enough for steering me in the right direction for my radon mitigation needs. I would like to do the same to anyone currently searching for a radon company. If you want the job done right and a pleasant experience, look no further for your radon needs then Rhino Radon Services.

"Bill and his team are wonderful. They do a thorough inspection to uncover issues. They've saved us from buying a house that would not be the right fit for us. They also let us know what we need to do to keep the house we live in now in good condition. They are not the cheapest option, but of course you pay more for quality, experience, and knowledge. They also offer different options so you can customize your inspection. We have used the thermal camera option, the radon option, and sewer options for the inspection so that we can learn as much as we can about the condition of the house. Very happy with Bill and his team and would definitely use them again."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Installing a mitigation system reduces radon levels, which can cause lung cancer, providing peace of mind and long-term health benefits. It can also increase your home’s value, as many buyers prefer properties with radon safety measures in place. The investment is relatively low compared to the potential health risks associated with prolonged radon exposure.

There are steps you can take as a homeowner to remediate radon yourself. While a radon reduction professional can make the biggest impact in your home, you can make efforts to improve radon levels on your own by sealing cracks, increasing ventilation, and testing for radon regularly.

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.

Radon is the number one non-smoking cause of lung cancer in the United States, but it can cause some other concerning side effects in the meantime. If you have a raspy voice, chest pains, trouble breathing, difficulty swallowing, or any of the above, don’t hesitate to perform radon testing and install a mitigation system as soon as possible.

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.
