"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."

"My home was recently tested for radon, and needed remediation. I'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'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."

Peter came to my house to do a full home inspection and a radon test of my three family home.  He actually arrived a few minutes before I did.  I gave him some background on the property and outlined for me what areas are included in the inspection and then he got to work.  The inspection took around three hours.  Peter took a lot of photos which was great.  I have a flat roof and this is a pretty high building and I refuse to go up there.  So his photos really came in handy for me.  And I also have an attic area that I could not walk into, so having the pictures are very helpful in this instance as well. 

He is also very knowledgeable and informed on every area that he covered and he does not mind being interrupted with questions.  He gave me a lot of great suggestions and really helped me to understand clearly and simply what areas I should pay close attention to and address.  He takes his time and always wants to know if you have questions about anything.  I highly recommend Peter. 

Thanks again Peter for your review of my property.  The report is well written, detailed and will be very helpful in addressing items that need my immediate attention.

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.

You can vent radon out of your house sometimes by simply opening a window, but it won’t remove the source, and will likely rise above recommended levels quickly. A professional will be needed to assess your home, and determine the best strategy for radon removal. Active radon sump pumps and soil depressurization systems are often used to forcefully vent the radon from your home.

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.

The lifespan of a radon mitigation system depends on the type of system and its maintenance. With proper care, a system can last for many decades. Passive systems tend to last longer as they have fewer components that require replacement. Active systems, which have more moving parts like fans, generally have a shorter lifespan. For instance, water filtration devices and active pressurization systems require more frequent maintenance. While the system as a whole is durable, the radon fan in an active system typically has a lifespan of 5 to 10 years and will need to be replaced. As long as the fan is working, the mitigation system should function correctly.

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the system and property layout.
