It went well. The person who answered my initial call did an excellent job, and I was equally satisfied with the technician who performed the work.

They did a great job and also came back promptly to seal the sum pump when called back reporting the issue. The radon test results came back with less than 1.0! Would love to recommend to anyone who needs the service for radon issues!

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.

I was far from happy to discover that my home needed a radon pump. But at least Obar took take care of it all in a professional, efficient manner that minimized the stress. Everyone I spoke to at the company, from the receptionist on up, was knowledgeable, pleasant and customer friendly. The installation (including electrician) was scheduled quickly and done in a day.

I have dealt with many contractors for multiple services and this company,by far, is the most professional company I have dealt with. Alex was very informative and responsive to all my concerns and needs. He took the initiative to explain in detail the best remedy and was fairly priced for the labor and cost of goods. I will not hesitate to recommend this company to my fellow property management colleagues.

I chose OBAR Systems from Angie's List after failing the radon test during my home inspection. After accepting their proposal OBAR came out within a week and installed the system. All the people I spoke with there could not have been nicer. They explained what needed to be done and did it. OBAR got the proper permits for my installation. After the system was installed the radon level was retested and passed with flying colors. When the township failed my building inspection because they did not like the straps that were put on the outside pipe that held it to the house OBAR stepped in immediately to rectify the problem. They called my township inspector explained about the straps they used and why they use those particular straps. The township code inspector then gave their approval. Thank you so much to Alex, Dave, Gunnar, William, who did the installation, and everyone else I spoke with at OBAR. It was a pleasure doing business with OBAR systems.

We discovered the radon problem within a short time before closing on sale of our house. Dave got us scheduled right away to avoid a problem. The original installer underestimated the number of vents that were needed, so we didn't get a favorable test result and came right up against a potential problem with our closing. Dave jumped right on it, shifted schedules as necessary to get someone to our house to correct the situation. I faced difficult buyers who wouldn't settle for the warranty from Obar, and Dave really jumped through hoops to help me out. We ended up with a reading of 2.6 and closed as scheduled. Thank you, Dave and Obar Systems. Props to Mr. B!

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.

Obar Systems did a great job.  They were responsive and we were able to quickly schedule a time for them to come and install a radon mitigation system.  I would have no problems recommending them for anyone in need of their services.

Contractor was punctual and supplied remediation for our home without having to do any installation inside our home or garage (i.e., installation was all external)  Contractor obtained all permits and arranged for electrician to activate the system (all included in one price). Subsequent testing confirmed radon levels to be significantly below government requirements.

Company unplugged existing Radon run under slab. Installed outside
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 !
