"Nick and Dori were wonderful to work with! They were kind and responsive and so, so thorough. Our radon levels were super high and they were able to install the mitigation system efficiently and professionally. I highly recommend them for mitigation, but also just for testing and any other questions even if you donâ t need mitigation. Overall, a wonderful experience. I wish no one had radon problems, but if you do, youâ re lucky to get to work with this company."

"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"

"Work is scheduled for June so I can speak to the initial meeting with them. Wayne was very friendly and took time to explain what I need done and why. He was very thorough and suggested things I had not been advised to do by a prior company that was not listed on Angi. He sent me a complete quote the same day that I accepted"

"I have worked with many contractors,plumbers,electricians, etc. in my time owning two homes. On here in New England and the other in Pembroke Pines,FL. These gentlemen from rhino radon services were deffinelty personable and proffesional I felt like my home was in good hands with this company. After calling around and having a job scheduled with another mitigation company I was blown off and left with a short deadline. Luckily after speaking with Henri from rhino radon they were able to squeeze me right in your schedule the very next day even though they had two other jobs scheduled they showed up at 5pm and still completed the job to ensure I met my closing date, if your looking for a standout and accommodating radon company I would say look no farther then rhino radon. I was very pleased with the service I recieved. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

"Shane is top notch. It's a bonus he's a very nice guy, and few are as reliable and honest. I've referred him to several happy clients, and have hired him for some work myself. He beat an area roofing contractor by 25%, and did a better job, from what I've seen. He's way more talented than roofing, but it's a sign of his character that he was willing do do the job without complaint."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Radon enters your home when warm air begins to rise and exits through the roof, creating a vacuum that pulls cooler air from under the foundation. Part of that air is radon, which is an invisible, odorless gas that develops naturally when radioactive particles are deep within the ground. Those particles usually come from decaying matter in soil and rocks.

Radon is present almost everywhere but, like sunlight, the concentration levels and how often you are exposed to it have a large part to play in just how dangerous it is. There are levels of radon that are acceptable inside a house, but above a certain limit, radon becomes a serious radioactive hazard that is a known cause of lung cancer. In fact, radon exposure is the number two leading cause of lung cancer (after smoking).

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.

A homeowner can install a radon mitigation system on their own. But it’s a challenging DIY that requires a lot of knowledge about radon mitigation as well as familiarity with local regulations. You do not want to risk an improper installation that leaves the system unable to detect radon or gives it a shortened life span. Relying on a professional is the surest way to guarantee a successful installation.

The cost for a radon mitigation system typically ranges from $800 to $1,500, with an average around $1,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the size of your home, the severity of the radon issue, and the type of system required. Your home's foundation type also significantly impacts the cost. For example, sealing and ventilating an unfinished basement might cost around $4,600, while encapsulating a crawl space without a foundation slab can range from $1,500 to $15,000.
