"This was a great experience from start to finish. They arrived on time got and got the work done with zero mess even though this involves drilling a large hole in the basement floor. The system did what it’s supposed to do and reduced radon levels to almost 0. I am very happy with this company and would highly recommended them.The price was great too."
"They installed a radon system in our home. It was a little complicated, but they completed the work fairly quickly. They were very friendly and professional, you can tell they knew what they were doing. In less than 24 hours, the radon levels in our home were normal."
"MaGen did an amazing job testing and abating our radon issue, which we weren't even aware of. Maryan's process was easy to follow, he performed work that was even beyond the agreed process (like making necessary fixes to our crawl space), and ensured that the radon system was working well. We went from having the meter read over 10 (pre-work) to under 1. If you're looking for someone that can handle your radon needs, get MaGen to do it ASAP!"
"To the folks at Radon Be Gone and potential customers, Lengthy-but hopefully insightful Recently I learned that radon was present in my house and the intelligent thing to do is to have it mitigated. This occurred at the onset of the pandemic and the Governor's briefings and closures. I had read plenty of positive reviews about Radon Be Gone and they came personally recommended from a couple people I trust. At the time Radon Be Gone was not operating until they felt they had a great grasp of safety protocols for their staff and customers. I did have a few other companies come out, take a look, and provide a quote but my gut told me to wait if possible for Radon Be Gone to be operational. I spoke to Portia several times and she was very knowledgeable, reassuring, and answered a lot of questions I had, now that I had some time to learn about the gas itself and how companies mitigate it. Brad came out and did an honest assessment and again answered a host of questions. Due to previous reviews, their treatment of me, and the similar price to other companies, I chose Radon Be Gone. I was a bit nervous because I had finished the basement a couple years prior. For anyone that plans to finish their basement, check for Radon first. You have less options once you finish it. The day the job was to be completed, the vehicles were in my drive a few minutes early, which I liked. The guys: Larry, Walker and Ian were all very cooperative and professional. I was able to watch and learn without feeling like I was snooping. The holes in my side brick and facial wall and the foundation were precision. We couldn't have picked a better spot for the system. It is unobtrusive in the utility room and is not visible from the sides of the house that matter. They explained the system and how it works and some small other need to know items. They caulked all the exterior hardware and sealed and cleaned everything. For those of you that may be concerned about their Covid safety protocols- I was very comfortable with how they operated. Post installation of the equipment, they retested the Radon Levels in my house and I was not only under the accepted level, but significantly under. The report of the test and other details were provided in a very timely manner. As a matter of fact the gentleman, forgot his name, (sorry) text me the results immediately. I know this is probably a lengthy post, but hope it provides useful insight and my recommendation of using Radon Be Gone if you need to have Radon Mitigation."
"Radon pros was awesome...they had clear communication throughout the process and made it happen. I don't know much about radon but the tech educated me and I didn't waste a bunch of money on a below ground vacuum."
"Great responsive communication and executed all work as they had laid it out. Brad was very professional and took the time to do the job correctly. Highly recommend Residential Radon."
"Absolutely professional. Tyler came out exactly on time. His co worker/partner set everything up and explained the process and worked with our schedule. Pricing was VERY affordable and for a job done exceptionally well and clean. I reccomend getting the levels tested in your basement as over time this can be detrimental to ones health. If we have any issues in the future, I will be using Ohio Radon Specialists for all of our mitigation needs."
Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
Many radon fans carry a five-year manufacturer's warranty. That said, your radon fan should last between five and ten years. Regular inspections will ensure the fan is operating properly. Unusual or exceptional noise coming from the fan or indications on your manometer or system monitor can immediately tell you that something is amiss.
No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is present everywhere, complete avoidance is impossible. The average radon level in homes across the United States is 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking preventative measures if your home's radon levels are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.
