"Radon gas in my house’s lower level was 3.6 picocuries per liter: below 4.0 pCi/L, at which EPA urges remediation, but high enough that it’s recommended. Beginning a week after SWAT installed gas elimination system (for $850), radon level dropped to 0.3 pCi/L: about the same amount of radon as is found in fresh air. Nuff said."

"I hired Double Check to do an inspection for a personal decision of "Repair or Replace". Justin came out, performed the inspection, took photographs and answered all my questions. He found some issues like a few shingles missing, popped nailheads and the like. We discussed the Repair or Replace decision. Very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. Highly recommended."

"I had a hard time contacting this company at first but when they finally responded, the service was great. Chuck met with me and explained what he thought would work best for the crawlspace in our new home. We originally wanted to install drain tile to avoid any possible water seepage in the future but he told us it wasn't necessary. Unlike PermaSeal who tried to sell us everything under their roof! Buyer beware of PermaSeal! Anyway, Chuck offered to provide a payment plan since we couldn't afford it all in one lump sum. We had a few issues at the beginning with things unrelated to them but Chuck was very responsive and advised us regarding some issues with our village permit. Even though we called and e-mailed him several times in one day, he maintained his great customer service. We finally scheduled an appointment and then had to re-schedule which they accommodated. The day they showed up, they came a bit late but Chuck sent a message letting us know. He showed up to check out the installation as well and warn us of the strong smell of the foam to see if we wanted to leave the house. We stayed but the foam smell was very strong for a few weeks and even up to today, we have not used it yet due to the smell. We may not end up using the crawlspace for storage as originally planned because we've noticed there's still a lot of insects getting through there since we left the entrance open for the smell to dissipate. Well, the crawlspace looks good and we are very happy that they installed a light switch by the entrance and a bulb in the middle so we could see the entire space if we want to go in there. We also got excited when Chuck mentioned they would do a radon test to show us the difference with the insulation. This has not been done yet but I hope they still come out and do it. I really enjoyed working with Chuck. He is a great guy and I highly recommend using this company. Stay away from PermaSeal! I say this because they tried to take advantage of us prior to us contacting this company."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Ideally, no one will live in a house with elevated radon levels, as prolonged exposure increases the risk of serious health issues like lung cancer. However, homes with radon can be made safe through mitigation systems, such as active soil depressurization. Testing for radon regularly and addressing high levels helps ensure a safe living environment.

No, air purifiers are not an effective way to reduce or remove radon. Radon is a radioactive, inert gas that cannot be filtered by standard air purifiers, which are designed to capture particulates like dust and mold. While an air purifier can improve indoor air quality by removing other pollutants, it should not be relied upon for radon. The only effective solution for high radon levels is a dedicated radon mitigation system.

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.
