"Mark Pierce was very helpful and thorough. We are moving from TX to NC and could not be there for the inspection but Mark called and went over everything he found concerning with us. We used them for the home inspection, water test and radon test and were very happy with their service."

"They installed a Radon Mitigation System. They were very accommodating. They wanted to ensure we were satisfied with the placement of the radon fan and plumbing. We went over everything twice. They were highly experienced. Our radon level in our basement was 4.5 before the installation and 48 hours later was 3.5 and is now recording steadily at 2.5. We will probably take additional measures to improve the quality of air but a radon mitigation system is the first step. Over time we hope the radon mitigation system will drop the level even further. I would recommend this company to others who need a radon system installed."

"Great people, honest and fair. I have confidence that the system they installed is the best. Radon NC used top quality materials and their guarantee is comprehensive. I almost went with a "national" company but I compared their estimate to Radon NC and there's no comparison. Affordable Environmental Services guarantee their work and use the best materials, not the cheapest. I recommend this company!"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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.

If high radon levels are detected, steps include sealing entry points, installing a mitigation system, and retesting the air regularly to ensure reduced levels.

The average radon mitigation system uses about 876 kWh of electricity per year, although the exact amount of electricity used will vary depending on the size of the radon fan. Once the system is installed, the annual increase to your energy bill could range from $30 to $300 per year, again depending on the size of the fan.

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).

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.
