"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
Your radon mitigation system may be loud because it’s time to replace it. Any sounds are usually from the inline fan that helps create the vacuum and resulting airflow. If you hear a new, loud mechanical or humming noise from your radon fan, it might be time to replace it. Most fans used in radon mitigation systems last up to 10 years, but may need to be replaced sooner.
You can vent radon out of your house sometimes by simply opening a window, but it won’t remove the source, and will likely rise above recommended levels quickly. A professional will be needed to assess your home, and determine the best strategy for radon removal. Active radon sump pumps and soil depressurization systems are often used to forcefully vent the radon from your home.
The soil beneath your house is most likely what’s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it’s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn’t been through periodic radon tests, such as well water. Over time, the radon from the soil can inhabit other parts of your house like the foundation or plumbing.
If high radon levels are detected, steps include sealing entry points, installing a mitigation system, and retesting the air regularly to ensure reduced levels.
