They were great and definitely get an A. The price was exactly the same; they were no changes in the price from the time they quoted it to the day they came for the job.
"[member name removed] I am glad to hear your levels have gone down with a simple fix! Gunnar"
I called OBAR Systems after checking the reviews here on AngiesList and comparing to a list of vendors that the County considers to be legit and knowledgeable. There are companies who make claims and don't do the proper work. OBAR is not one of them.
After testing my new home for radon, the reading came back at around 9.1 pci/L. If you're looking for a system, you know that 4pc/L is considered "safe" by the EPA. While not the highest level, I'd still rather not have it in my home at all. So I called OBAR. Alex came out and was right on time. He looked at what would be involved and answered the questions I had. As I tend to do research to familiarize myself with things, I felt comfortable with his knowledge. He showed me where the pipe would go inside and where it would exit out the side of the house, looking for the best place to hide the fan unit. He explained that OBAR would come in and install the system, and then an electrician they work with would come in and hook it up. I said ok, let's do it, and he said he'd check back at the office for when they could come out.
I don't recall if I was supposed to call them or he was supposed to call me, but after a week, I made the call to the office to follow up. I'm a pretty easygoing guy, so it didn't bother me much. They were very helpful when I called. They didn't have Alex's notes in front of them, but they asked for the quote I received and set a date to come out. Will arrived to install the system and was half an hour early. He went to work and instead of placing the piping exactly where Alex had said it would go, he made use of some dead space in the room and installed the system there. A much better choice.
The only complaint I might have is that when the system was routed through the crawl space and out the side of the house, it ended up being 4 feet off the ground. Not Will's fault, as the crawl space was not flush with the level of the ground as expected. I hadn't realized it either, so I guess I'll be planted some larger shrubs to hide it. The electrician arrived a few days later, due to him calling the wrong number. I called to follow up on that as well, and they were very helpful in the office.
All in all, I was pleased using OBAR and would recommend them. The system lowered the pci/l to 1.3, making us feel much better about using the finished basement.
piping and installed fan. Electric also required as part of job. Both
teams worked very well together, job was completed and running in hours. We also
required closure of the french drains ( concrete) which was an added
cost but required to ensure the system worked sufficiently. Inspections lined up and completed days after. There was also a test kit for radon which demonstrated where we were after the test. The results were emailed and sent via snail mail. Would recommend as this type of work is required in most of NJ and PA !
