"Bill was wonderful and has our highest recommendations. He answered every call and replied to every message promptly, with knowledgeable responses. He was early to the inspection, took the time not only to inspect our new house thoroughly (no rushed feel), but also answered all of our questions as first-time home buyers in a very personable manner. He even inspected the roof despite the rain! Pricing was very reasonable and included all of the work we needed (added radon and pest). His thorough report came as promised later that day, and he answered follow-up questions we had afterward. We felt confident in our decision to move forward with our home purchase because of Bill's outstanding work. It shows that Bill really cares about his work and enjoys what he does. Excellent service, thank you!"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts
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.
No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is naturally present everywhere, it is impossible to avoid entirely. 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 action to reduce radon levels if your home's test results are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.
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.
Mitigation reduces radon levels, protecting your health and complying with safety standards.
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.
