"TESTING FOR ASBESTOS I need to make sure people know about a man named Jeff Miller Owner of Scope Environmental. I wanted to have my basement checked for Asbestos. This man was absolutely the nicest person. Jeff is a professional, who explained things extremely well and in detail, offered positives suggestions, and extremely knowledgeable. Oh, and extremely honest and helpful. If you ever want to have your basement checked for Radon or Asbestos or Mold, please call this nice man who has a vast amount of experience and knowledge on these three issues. His phone number is 314-220-1810. His pricing is very reasonable and he is Certified in the State of Missouri which is a requirement by the State to do testing. He sure put my mind at peace."

"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!"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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.

No, radon mitigation systems do not decrease home value or make a home harder to sell. In areas where homes experience similar radon exposure risks, a radon mitigation system is viewed as an improvement. Potential homebuyers often opt to buy a home with a radon mitigation system already installed to reduce the risk of cancer for their families.

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.

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.

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.
