"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."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Ideally, no one will live in a house with elevated radon levels, as prolonged exposure increases the risk of serious health issues like lung cancer. However, homes with radon can be made safe through mitigation systems, such as active soil depressurization. Testing for radon regularly and addressing high levels helps ensure a safe living environment.

The soil beneath your house is most likely what’s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it’s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn’t been through periodic radon tests, such as well water. Over time, the radon from the soil can inhabit other parts of your house like the foundation or plumbing.

Installing a mitigation system reduces radon levels, which can cause lung cancer, providing peace of mind and long-term health benefits. It can also increase your home’s value, as many buyers prefer properties with radon safety measures in place. The investment is relatively low compared to the potential health risks associated with prolonged radon exposure.

The natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water can cause radon to appear in a home. The gas seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, walls, or floors, as well as through gaps around pipes or construction joints. Radon levels are influenced by soil composition, building materials, and ventilation. Poorly sealed or airtight homes can trap radon, allowing it to accumulate.

No, radon mitigation systems do not decrease home value or make a home harder to sell. In areas where homes experience similar radon exposure risks, a radon mitigation system is viewed as an improvement. Potential homebuyers often opt to buy a home with a radon mitigation system already installed to reduce the risk of cancer for their families.
