"Jim Shuster was prompt, professional, extremely knowledgeable ... and very pleasant to work with! The initial response to my inquiry was quick, as was all subsequent communication. I was so impressed with the overall Radon Testing experience that I also contracted with Jim to perform an Air Quality Test and Mold Inspection at my residence. I do not think that I could have received a better reference for my job(s) than Premier Inspections Plus. Thank you."

"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

Many radon fans carry a five-year manufacturer's warranty. That said, your radon fan should last between five and ten years. Regular inspections will ensure the fan is operating properly. Unusual or exceptional noise coming from the fan or indications on your manometer or system monitor can immediately tell you that something is amiss.

If your home has a sump pit, you can integrate it with a radon mitigation system. You can accomplish this by sealing the pump cover with an airtight lid that accommodates radon vent pipes and sump pump hoses. This allows the vent pipe to redirect the radon gas outside of your home.

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.

Your radon fan needs to operate 24/7 to be effective. The only time the fan isn't operating is during its replacement. Radon levels in the home can increase within hours if the fan stops working or something obstructs the stack vent. Fortunately, radon systems require no downtime maintenance between fan changes.

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.
