"They were easy to deal with and installed the system exactly as they described. We have yet to test the new radon levels, but have been assured it will work."
"Jim at Premier Inspections Plus did a fantastic job on our home inspection. He was thorough, easy to talk to, and took the time to answer all of our questions. We especially appreciated the videos he provided, which made it much easier to understand the items he found and review them later. He also handled our radon test and clearly explained the results and what they meant. The inspection never felt rushed, and Jim did a great job pointing out both areas of concern and routine maintenance items. His attention to detail gave us confidence moving forward with our home purchase. We'd gladly recommend Jim and Premier Inspections Plus to anyone needing a home inspection."
"Ryan was great! I had some hesitations about radon mitigation in an older home and Ryan assured me it would be no problem. He was honest and straight forward with how to tackle the issue, and didn’t hard sell on doing every possible thing, but made his suggestion to try the mitigation system, then seeing where the levels tested to determine if next steps were necessary. He did great clean work and was priced well. I appreciate his hard work to make my new home safe."
"Excellent communication concerning what I needed to know and was willing to work everything out I was concerned about. Worked well with me explaining things that could happen in the future and how to handle it. He called and scheduled to see if he could come a day early and followed up the next day with a phone call on how things were working. Very good service and I would recommend them for Radon gas monitoring and testing."
"Great experience! Extremely fair pricing, very professional, and provided an extensive and thorough inspection report. I would definitely recommend Bench-Mark to anyone in the process of purchasing a home or starting a remodeling project."
"The Buyer's Inspector was extremely thorough. I have heard it said that he is the "pit bull" of home inspectors. He left radon detection equipment behind for over 50 hours. He offered additional water testing at my request. He has provided me with a itemization of all things good, marginal, bad, dangerous of every aspect of my house. He cross referenced these comments with pictures and suggestions. He seemed highly knowledgeable. It will be easy for electrician, plumbers, chimney sweeps, etc. to understand and locate the problem areas in the home. But beware when you schedule: My inspection lasted 6 hours!"
"Did a great job wit the inspection and I feel a lot more confident about the move. The only downside was he showed up a half hour late. I'm sure it happens from time to time, but it is something to be noted if you are in a time crunch."
"Brad was thorough, on time, and explained everything clearly. I felt confident in the inspection, and didn’t feel like he left any stone unturned. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing an inspection."
Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts
Yes, many systems include warranties for performance. Confirm terms with your installer.
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.
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.
Use a radon test kit or hire professionals to conduct a detailed assessment of radon levels in your home.
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.
