"OUTSTANDING WORK on short notice. The Radon Shield team did some very impressive work for us and we will certainly reach-out to them for other services in the future. For this project, we asked Mr. Ugorji and his team to install 2 separate radon mitigation systems for a large sq ft home with a basement air radon concentration well over 4 pCi/L where masonry drilling would be required for the installation. We also faced difficult time constraints, but Mr. Ugorji arranged to begin work the next day. Before visiting the work site, we discussed the installation, the home, expectations. He provided a clear and accurate assessment of the costs and time/effort required for our project (our final bill matched his initial assessment, nothing added, no surprises). The location for the installations, routing of piping and wiring, model fans to be used, attachment and sealing methods, follow-up testing, and much more were discussed before work began. Our preferences were addressed and pros/cons were weighed. Mr. Ugorji worked efficiently and his team tidied-up as the work progressed. All aspects of the installation were handled professionally. Care was taken to upgrade remote junction boxes and other components impacted by the new system. The routing of the suction/exhaust piping was thoughtfully designed, securely installed, and tightly sealed. When both systems were turned-on, they presented matching suction levels, indicating effective under-slab suction. The end result is a very effective radon mitigation system that has (after a few days of constant electronic monitoring) achieved a basement air concentration of 0.35 pCi/L. Mr. Ugorji followed-up with us a few days later to check on the new radon test levels and to ensure everything was as expected."

"Fantastic to work with. I received an elevated radon level after a recent test which required mediation. RAdata were very responsive and timely. They even called several days prior to my appointment to offer a new time after a cancellation. They arrived on time, quickly diagnosed the problem, and performed the required work. The technician took the time to fully explain the system and offer suggestions after a new issue was found. I would highly recommend their services."

"Jeff did a great job!  He was very thorough and took the time to walk us through each and every aspect of the house.  This is our first home purchase so we had no idea what to expect, but Jeff provided us with a great education.  He pointed out potential issues but also pointed out things that were in good shape, which was very reassuring for us.  All in all, I would recommend Jeff for anyone looking for a quality home inspection in New Jersey.

"I am a first-time home buyer who was looking to buy in Newark, NJ. I was Hesitant about the foundation walls, heating and electrical systems in the home. Because they are well-regarded as trustworthy a friend of mine, who had previously had issues with her home, suggested I call Quality Home Inspections. When I spoke with the gentleman on the phone (very polite), All my questions were answered in detail and my concerns were alleviated. Quality Home Inspections also provided me with lead and radon inspections. The best part of all was receiving the inspection results in a time efficient manner. They were very professional. I am currently moving forward with purchasing the house and recommending Quality Home Inspections to anyone looking for a great lead/radon home inspection Service."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Radon enters your home when warm air begins to rise and exits through the roof, creating a vacuum that pulls cooler air from under the foundation. Part of that air is radon, which is an invisible, odorless gas that develops naturally when radioactive particles are deep within the ground. Those particles usually come from decaying matter in soil and rocks.

You'll need to test your home for radon after installing the mitigation system, then again every two years. If radon remains elevated, contact a licensed radon professional, either the contractor who installed the system or a different one, and have them evaluate the system. They may need to make some changes to improve its effectiveness and performance.

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.
