"The owner of the company, Phil Tantella, spent time on the phone with me giving me lots of information beyond what his scope involved. He was so helpful and knowledgeable. Working with his company was a good experience from start to finish. The process takes time, and Phil stayed in touch, keeping me up-to-date so I could move forward with other planning."

"Very Professional followed all federal, city, and state guidelines to conduct a mold assessment. Provided a comprehensive report that wad thorough and straightforward making it easily understandable and made themselves available due to my immediate concerns and went above and beyond my expectations. Very upfront and doesnâ t sugar coat anything by telling you things are fine or arenâ t fine but instead details the specifics and explains what exactly he is doing when heâ s doing it to help better inform you of how to not only prevent the growth of visible mold but how to best limit the exposure to it and most importantly he wore proper safety equipment gloves mask and shoe covers and respectively followed all COVID-19 guidelines set in place. Mike knows what heâ s doing, heâ s got the credentials and the experience and knowledge and he applied everything in an unbiased mold assessment of my apartment for a reasonable price. I would highly recommend him and would suggest reading his reviews before considering others because he is clearly a well respected and reputable resource in the areas he specializes in and his work proofs that! Thanks Mike Brandon"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Mitigation can take several days depending on home setup, equipment accessibility, and achieving effective diffusion system sealed efficiency.

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.

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.
