"Everything went well. The repaired cracks have not leaked during recent storms. In addition, the radon test results after

the mitigation system was installed showed it is working and the radon in our basement is now at a very low level."

"I used Scope Environmental recently to test floor tile and the underlying mastic to determine if either contained asbestos. I selected Scope because Jeff was very responsive, professional, independent of the abatement companies and his price was competitive. Jeff suggested testing both the tiles and mastic. The tiles tested positive for asbestos but the mastic contained no asbestos. As a result, I saved considerable expense by abating the tiles only and not the mastic so I also used Scope again for the post abatement air testing rather than the abatement company. I would hire Scope again for material and air testing for asbestos, mold or any other potentially toxic materials."

"It went great! They set up a system in my parent's house and they mitigated the radon down to a save level. They did a test before and after, and I was satisfied with the results. Proper Environmental did a thorough job and would recommend this company to anyone!"

"We wanted the house inspected because we were buying it. He did a thorough enough job of examining the outside and inside of the house. One thing that he didn't do... He didn't pull some building materials away from the basement storage area to examine the basement wall for cracks. I was a little surprised about that. He also didn't notice that the basement door was getting stuck when we tried to close it. We noticed it ourselves and asked the current homeowner's to fix it. However, he did notice the slow drain in the master bath. A leaky window in the master bedroom and that their was no GFCI outlet in one of the bathrooms. He tested for water/dampness in all the rooms and all of the windows. He communicated well and arrived on time. He took about an hour outside and inside. Also looked for termite problems in the house as well. Overall, I would hire him again."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
