"Great service. Highly recommend for your radon mitigation project"

"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!!!"

"My home was recently tested for radon, and needed remediation. I&#39;m glad I gave Radon Shield a call! Benedict was able to come by within the week to take a look. He walked me through the challenges, and we were able to figure out where to put the system in a manner that followed regulations and was still fairly unobtrusive. He had given me an estimate over the phone, so there were no surprises when the time came. They installed the system on the spot. My large and cluttered basement wasn&#39;t the easiest to work with, but Benedict and his team were able to handle it professionally and cleanly in the span of about 5 hours. With the system they installed, they brought the radon level down from 5.6 to 0.8. I wish I had tested for radon again a few years ago and installed this system sooner. I think they even left the basement cleaner than when they started! Thanks again!"

"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."

"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!"

"Looking to finish my basement, so I did a radon test. It came in at 2.5, which isn’t bad but I wanted to get it lower. Fresh Air LLC came out and set me up with a mitigation system. Upon re-test, the level was under 0.4. They were quick and effective."

"It went excellent! He was thorough and reliable! His guidance, professionalism and diligence was appreciated! Worth every penny!"

"It was a terribly cold and rainy day (it had just snowed 6inches).  Despite these conditions, he said he preferred to do the inspections and it proved very fruitful.  He arrived at the house 30min before the inspection time and had already taken countless pics and assessed the exterior prior to our arrival.  We walked around the house, checked out the roof and exteriors, gutters, etc...Spending nearly 90min just on the exterior!
We then moved inside to the basement, and once again, he walked us through every single step and provided great simple explanations to any questions we had.  In total, we spent approximately 4 hrs to finish the inspection on the 3400 sq ft house.
Going back to the rain, he was dead on!  We found a minor leak in one part of the roof which our Seller arranged to fix. This would never have been found on a nice, sunny day!
As promised, 2 days after the inspections, we received a very thorough report and 2 days after that (4d after inspection), the radon report. 
Everything went exactly as anticipated and planned.

"I would definitely recommend this inspector again. He was extremely knowledgeable & professional.."

"Dave's home inspection was very thorough!  As a first time home owner, Dave went through every detail of the home and explained things to me as we went along.  He answered all my questions honestly and completely.  I didn't know what to expect with a home inspection as this was my first one, and 2.5 hours later I felt completely comfortable with what was going on in my new potential home.  Dave sent the inspection report that very night to me!  I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a home inspector.
