"I called John on a Thursday night looking for a 9AM, next day inspection of a property on auction that I needed inspected before I put my bid in. He answered my call, texted me, planned everything and was there at 9am ready to work. He gave us his immediate thoughts so that we could make an offer with good info and then sent us a super detailed report. I couldn't recommend him more. He gave us great peace of mind."
"The house we found and wanted to buy was built at the end of the 18th century. While the house kept many its original features it looked like it was well maintained by the owners. However, with the house of such age no one can be sure that there are no serious problems hidden somewhere. Since we have not been that lucky with the inspectors in our previous house buying we were very thorough and not in a hurry looking for an inspector. We wanted to find the âbest of the bestâ. Our Realtor who was very helpful during the whole buying process recommended us a couple of inspectors. Also we found a number of inspectors with very good reviews on the internet. We communicated with those inspectors and explained our situation about historic house. What surprised us is that they promise to conduct the whole inspections of the house together with inspecting septic system just within two-three hours. Yes, they were going to get help from one of their team members, but two-three hours for the house built in 1790 was certainly not enough. So, we continued our search. One by one we were scanning through every review on the Internet on home inspectors we could find. At some point we stumbled at the review where the buyer was upset that the inspector he hired spent too much time conducting the inspection. That inspector was Mr. Stephen DeCosta. We called him to discuss our case. He sounded solid, explained us the process in details, and informed that the time he spends on the house like ours is not less than 4-5 hours. In addition, he recommended us septic system professional. Looking ahead â we were very happy with the work of that septic system guy. Steve is very thorough, knowledgeable, and highly professional inspector. He totally spent 6 hours conducting house inspection. While inspecting the house Steve explained every small detail even suggesting how to fix the problem. I am an engineer myself. I can do almost any job with my hands and skills - from house repair to house remodeling. However, I was impressed with the depth of Steve's professionalism. At the end of his inspection Steve provided us with a detailed report of all things that need to be fixed. Steveâs report helped us to create a good list of all problems in the house and to re-negotiate a better price for the house. He is the best home inspector we ever worked with. All together working with Steve was a fun, a good learning lesson, and a very reassuring process. After his inspection we knew for sure that we made a good choice, and while the house is old we got confidence that we will be able to fix all the problems the house has. We highly recommend Steve to every one who is looking for a great professional and expects a consistent result of home inspection."
"The company was very easy to schedule with, and the technician was extremely friendly and efficient! I would definitely recommend them for radon mitigation systems!"
"I have worked with many contractors,plumbers,electricians, etc. in my time owning two homes. On here in New England and the other in Pembroke Pines,FL. These gentlemen from rhino radon services were deffinelty personable and proffesional I felt like my home was in good hands with this company. After calling around and having a job scheduled with another mitigation company I was blown off and left with a short deadline. Luckily after speaking with Henri from rhino radon they were able to squeeze me right in your schedule the very next day even though they had two other jobs scheduled they showed up at 5pm and still completed the job to ensure I met my closing date, if your looking for a standout and accommodating radon company I would say look no farther then rhino radon. I was very pleased with the service I recieved. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts
While DIY testing is possible, abatement generally requires professional installation to ensure efficacy and meet safety standards.
The lifespan of a radon mitigation system depends on the type of system and its maintenance. With proper care, a system can last for many decades. Passive systems tend to last longer as they have fewer components that require replacement. Active systems, which have more moving parts like fans, generally have a shorter lifespan. For instance, water filtration devices and active pressurization systems require more frequent maintenance. While the system as a whole is durable, the radon fan in an active system typically has a lifespan of 5 to 10 years and will need to be replaced. As long as the fan is working, the mitigation system should function correctly.
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.
Abatement includes sealing entry points and venting with systems that reduce radon levels below recommended EPA limits. It is handled by certified professionals.
Many radon fans carry a five-year manufacturer's warranty. That said, your radon fan should last between five and ten years. Regular inspections will ensure the fan is operating properly. Unusual or exceptional noise coming from the fan or indications on your manometer or system monitor can immediately tell you that something is amiss.
