"It is my absolute pleasure to write this raving review for Benedict Ugorji (the owner) at Radon Shield LLC and I make no commission recommending him. The radon level was 1.8 pCi/L when I bought my home in Holmdel, NJ, in February 2021. I wanted to lower the radon level for personal health reasons (I have a young 3 year old) not for a real estate transaction (goal level <4 pCi/L). Safe levels were established in the 1970s (The history, development and the present status of the radon measurement programme in the United States of America. Radiat Prot Dosimetry 2015; 167(1-3): 8-14) so maybe new safe levels should be lower than the current recommendation to reflect available technologies for radon mitigation as there is no safe level. I spent $700+ for a new Fantech Rn4EC-4 fan and to seal the French drain serviced through RAdata in Flanders, NJ, and the level was unchanged at 1.6 and 1.9 pCi/L after servicing. RAdata is a disorganized business that will recommend the most expensive system (the energy recovery ventilator) that costs $3000 that other radon companies (I got two second opinions) will say that it does not work. Then RAdata proposed to install a second mitigation system right next to the current system, but could not intelligently justify why the second system would be right adjacent to the current system where there is already subterranean air flow generated by the current system instead of tackling the no subterranean air flow zone at the farthest end of the basement. Please refer to my review about RAdata on Yelp and Facebook and my subsequent reply to their response for details. I kept looking for another radon company and fortunately I found a gem in the unscrupulous radon business. The gem is Benedict whom I unwaveringly and unequivocally recommend. Benedict is responsive – he patiently listened about my radon situation and collected information about my pre and post service radon level and even information down to the granular level like what make and model fan RAdata installed. Benedict came to my home for the consultation, to run the diagnostic tests, he proposed solutions and offered his rational, he did the installation of the second mitigation system (in the area of the basement with no subterranean air flow) from start to finish by himself, he used a more powerful and cheaper fan for the second system (than the one RAdata installed for my first system), and he guaranteed to lower the radon to a specified level in his contract. Benedict charges one flat service fee (whereas RAdata charges the first hour and then at 15 min increments so you are discouraged from asking questions). Benedict took his time to explain to me about how a fan’s performance (like moving air measured in cubic feet per minute or CFM) is affected by your soil’s static pressure (the value on your u-tube manometer). He even followed up with me on a Saturday via text message about the short term radon level measured with the Corentium radon detector (while the charcoal kits are being sampled) and guided me through interpreting the short versus long term average as the values were quite different. We touched based again when the charcoal test came back and the levels were an astonishing 0.5 and 0.6 pCi/L!!!"

"Top notch company and extremely professional. They did an excellent job and worked with me on the best placement for the radon mitigation system. Perhaps the best review I could give them is to say I will be hiring them to do my own house as well as I am situated on the Reading Radon belt. The job I am rating them on was my Dadâ s house which I am selling."

"When my husband and I discovered we had elevated radon levels we contacted a company that our neighbors used. They made us wait 2 weeks came out and gave us a price and then said they had to â think overâ how they would install the system. Frustrated- I did a search and found Garaâ s Radon. Kevin came out right away to give a quote. He was very professional and his price was lower than the previous company. He quickly and efficiently installed our system within a few hours. What was more impressive was the results of our radon test after the installation of the mitigation system, as they dropped from 10.0 to 1.20. Thank you Kevin!"

"I chose this company based on Angies list reviews and it did not steer me wrong. His schedule was accomodating and we were able to book a time within just a few days from my call. On the day of the inspection Peter called me and let me know he might be a few minutes late (which I appreciated) but he showed up a few minutes ahead of schedule. He was very thorough and made sure that we understood whatever he was showing us before moving on. He was meticulous and spent most of his time on the exterior and basment as that is where the majority of major issues would be. In this case their happened to be a huge drainage problem. He was very knowledgeable but was careful to state his boundries when dealing with structure problems. He suggested that we pull the permits for any work that was done and to contact a structural engineer. We didnt even get that far because we pulled out the day after his report was sent. The report was completed within 48 hours and was 48 pages long. Obvisouly not all of it was extermely important details, but necessary nonetheless. Peter was also careful not to provide us with opinions, but rather focus on providing us all of the relevant information so that we could make our own informed decision. I'll be calling him again soon when we find another home to purchase.

"I recently used Quality Home Inspection Services as I'm in the process of purchasing a condo. Jamal took the time to explain everything he inspected as he preformed a thorough and detailed inspection of the entire unit, any questions I had were answered immediately with great detail and clear understanding. He provided the written and detailed report very quickly(same day), with pictures, explanations, summary, and any levels of concern or priorities. I would definitely choose Quality Home Inspection Services again in the near future and recommend their services for anyone who’s in need of a thorough and detailed home inspection."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Testing every 2-5 years or upon adjusting occupancy or structural changes maintains safe environments.

There are steps you can take as a homeowner to remediate radon yourself. While a radon reduction professional can make the biggest impact in your home, you can make efforts to improve radon levels on your own by sealing cracks, increasing ventilation, and testing for radon regularly.

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.

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.

If your home has a sump pit, you can integrate it with a radon mitigation system. You can accomplish this by sealing the pump cover with an airtight lid that accommodates radon vent pipes and sump pump hoses. This allows the vent pipe to redirect the radon gas outside of your home.
