"Lesson learned. Always get an estimate. BEFORE the work is done. At least a digital copy. Arrangements for the project were made, with some one named Lynn, for the company to send someone to complete the work. We were quoted over the phone 4500-5000 which included a mold test. A sub contractor with an entirely different company (National Mold Company) was sent. When the contractor arrived, he stated that the job would be much more simpler than first thought. This led us to believe that the job would cost less, no. All said and done, they charged $5500. All said and done, it's almost like no work was done. The stains and the smell are still there. Only one actual board was taken upon the attic room. The ceiling in the bedroom was primed and painted but are still visible and have a funky smell. At this point I'm going to. Do what we should have done; Do the job ourselves. Just now with $5500 less dollars in our pockets. A detailed receipt was not given even though it was requested."

"George and his entire company were amazing! George sat down with us and explained every detail of the work, and left us with material that gave us an education on Radon itself. This was very helpful for many reasons.. The work itself was conducted in an effective, clean, respectful and thoughtful way by his crew., and he came by to ensure completion and satisfaction.

Please consider me for your home inspection needs. I serve Onondaga, Cayuga, Oswego, Cortland, Madison, and Saratoga counties. Many have found comfort in knowing that their home is being inspected by a mechanical engineer with a dozen years of engineering experience. Others have found comfort in knowing that I have several investment properties in the area and that I do all my own work. I use a continuous radon monitor so I can have lab-analyzed radon results to you in 2 days, as opposed to 7-14 days with charcoal filters. I have eKey access so I don’t need a realtor to let me in/out of the home. I do home inspections, radon inspections, well flow testing, septic dye testing, and water quality testing. My goal is to point out all safety issues and to find costly defects that you can use as leverage to lower the price of your purchase.

Hello, my name is Steven Bossard and I am the owner of Basements and Above Home Inspections. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and my business to you. At a very young age I started working for my father at his excavation business. I gained a great deal of knowledge about: foundations, basements, drainage and all areas under a house. After graduating for high school, I joined the military as an Airborne Combat Engineer. In the military I was able to learn a great deal more about other aspects of construction that rounded out my skill set. I went back to working with my father, after serving our country. I soon realized that constructing new homes was an amazing process and seemed more like an art. I moved on to work for a new home builder, framing and learning more about the wonderful art and craftsmanship of building. I have also worked in the fields of: home remodeling, light commercial remodeling, plumbing, electrical, log home construction, and modular home construction. For a length of time I owned my own new home/ remodeling business. Most recently I have been working in the field of construction management, over seeing all types of construction projects and tradesmen. I received my inspection license from NYS Lic. # 16000048041 I have come to realize, through remodeling, that there is a need for knowledgeable home inspectors. Weather you are a buyer or seller there is always a need for a good quality home inspection. I will inspect your home …. Basements and Above… to the best of my ability, with all my knowledge and never ending passion for construction.

"Steve with Basements and Above Home Inspections was great. He took his time thoroughly inspecting our potential new home and at the end reviewed his findings and even showed the ones that were accessible to us and explained the issue and possible solutions. He even took the time to answer all of our questions and not once did we ever feel rushed or like we were a nuisance. As first time homebuyers we had a lot of questions, we are glad that we did our own research when deciding which home inspector to hire and would highly recommend to anyone needing inspection or testing services."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Your radon fan needs to operate 24/7 to be effective. The only time the fan isn't operating is during its replacement. Radon levels in the home can increase within hours if the fan stops working or something obstructs the stack vent. Fortunately, radon systems require no downtime maintenance between fan changes.

Properties should ideally be tested for radon every 2 to 5 years or sooner when changes to the property structure or ventilation occur that might impact airflow.

A radon test has no effect on humans—only the radon in the air does. The test does not redistribute the radon that is already present so yes, it’s safe to be around the testing kit even if it isn’t safe to be in the room itself. The test absorbs and measures the radon, but doesn't absorb enough of it to make the room any safer.

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.

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.
