"I would definitely recommend this company to anyone!!! I hired them and the job was done nicely, Dan O'Brien was the technician who took care of the project and he did an excellent job, he answered all of my questions and explained to me everything related to Radon gas. When he finished setting everything up and the job was completed all the working area looked super clean and the installation looks just like it is part of the house and that has been there forever. This is what I call a Perfect and Complete execution of a Radon gas mitigation project."

"I was actually told by the real estate agent that she was very impressed with him, said she has worked with several home inspectors over the years and she would be recommending him, wanted to know where I had found him, that she didn't know he was in that area. Personally I liked his way of detailing and explaining what and where the problems are. Comparison price wise, he was very reasonable. I am very happy with his work and would recommend him to others. Good Job!"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

No, air purifiers are not an effective way to reduce or remove radon. Radon is a radioactive, inert gas that cannot be filtered by standard air purifiers, which are designed to capture particulates like dust and mold. While an air purifier can improve indoor air quality by removing other pollutants, it should not be relied upon for radon. The only effective solution for high radon levels is a dedicated radon mitigation system.

Radon is present almost everywhere but, like sunlight, the concentration levels and how often you are exposed to it have a large part to play in just how dangerous it is. There are levels of radon that are acceptable inside a house, but above a certain limit, radon becomes a serious radioactive hazard that is a known cause of lung cancer. In fact, radon exposure is the number two leading cause of lung cancer (after smoking).

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.

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.

No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is naturally present everywhere, it is impossible to avoid entirely. 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 action to reduce radon levels if your home's test results are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.
