"Rick demonstrated a high level of professionalism by arriving punctually, doing a comprehensive assessment, addressing any inquiries, and providing pertinent details. He recommended the most effective positioning of our mitigation system. Following its installation, he conducted testing and then returned one week later to verify that the level was appropriately adjusted. From our perspective, the quality of his work is unmatched. Excellent customer service! If there's a need for this service, River Cities Radon is the place to contact."
"The customer service and workmanship was great. The only reason I gave 4.5 stars instead of 5 was because someone was supposed to contact me regarding testing of my heating and cooling system and never did call. It seemed to me, though, that the company has only a few resources in this area and with fall approaching, I'm sure that they are very busy. When I'm ready, I will certainly follow up with them to have the test completed."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts
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.
Long-term exposure increases lung cancer risks. Prolonged homestay individuals and smokers encounter heightened vulnerability and exposure concerns.
No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is present everywhere, complete avoidance is impossible. The average radon level in homes across the United States is 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking preventative measures if your home's radon levels are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.
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.
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.
