"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."
"Great company! Price was competitive, technician showed up on time and completed the job (exterior electric Radon fan replacement) quickly. Would hire them again."
"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."
"All of the Radon Be Gone staff I dealt with were very professional. They designed the system so it vents in a back corner of the house and is barely visible. The staff delivered the external vent pipes several days in advance of the installation so I could paint them to match the exterior of my home. They were timely, polite and very competent at their work. The radon readings in my home were reduced to a very low and safe level."
"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."
"The installation of radon system was good. They were on time and very nice and cleaned up well afterward but have not been able to get a hold of the company since then to schedule retest. The phone number indicates that voice mail is full and have texted the number with no response and have also emailed them."
"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 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.
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.
Radon enters your home when warm air begins to rise and exits through the roof, creating a vacuum that pulls cooler air from under the foundation. Part of that air is radon, which is an invisible, odorless gas that develops naturally when radioactive particles are deep within the ground. Those particles usually come from decaying matter in soil and rocks.
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.
No, air purifiers are not an effective way to reduce or remove radon. Radon is a radioactive, inert gas that cannot be filtered by standard air purifiers, which are designed to capture particulates like dust and mold. While an air purifier can improve indoor air quality by removing other pollutants, it should not be relied upon for radon. The only effective solution for high radon levels is a dedicated radon mitigation system.
