Q: How is radon detection conducted professionally?

• <div><p>Professional radon detection involves placing test kits in the lowest lived-in level of the house for a period, usually 48 hours to several months, followed by lab analysis of collected data.</p></div>

Q: What is the biggest source of radon?

• <div><p>The soil beneath your house is most likely what&rsquo;s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it&rsquo;s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to receive results from radon testing?

• <div><p>Results from radon testing usually take a week to process after the test period ends, with expedited services sometimes available for urgent cases.</p></div>

Q: Why is radon testing important?

• <div><p>Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause lung cancer; testing ensures safe indoor air quality.</p></div>

Q: Can I conduct radon detection myself?

• <div><p>DIY radon detection is possible using over-the-counter test kits, but professional testing can provide more accurate assessments, especially in cases of high initial readings.</p></div>

"They were reasonably priced but I'd recommend skipping and saving yourself the heartache. I was having issues with the radon mitigation system they installed. After a few days of calling and leaving messages I had no response. Then we finally figured out when they installed the system it only received power when the light switch was on...instead of wiring it to run all the time. Still no response back from them and I am paying to fix the issue myself. Do not go with them."

"Matt and his crew of Jacob and Christian went far above anything I expected. I called Matt on Saturday afternoon because my sump pump broke and basement had water everywhere. Within 5 minutes of submitting request for a quote he called. Within 30 minutes he was here assessing. Within an hour he had dryers and dehumidifiers set up. He called to check in on Sunday and was here Monday morning. Tuesday morning Jacob and Christian arrived and emptied everything that was damaged by water (and more). They filled a giant dump truck. They were so polite and careful. Right down to the sweeping! I felt like I was dealing with service the way it was years ago. I could not have asked for anything more."
