Also 3rd party testing confirmed safe air test. The workers were in suits, masks and had ASD machines running very professional and highly recommended for any asbestos work! We are very pleased the cleanup was nice, with no debris . I would definitely hire again if needed"

"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!"
"He pointed out everything that was good everything that I probably should look into and gave an evaluation of the overall house. Having never bought a house before this was greatly appreciated and valued."

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.
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.
The lifespan of a radon mitigation system depends on the type of system and its maintenance. With proper care, a system can last for many decades. Passive systems tend to last longer as they have fewer components that require replacement. Active systems, which have more moving parts like fans, generally have a shorter lifespan. For instance, water filtration devices and active pressurization systems require more frequent maintenance. While the system as a whole is durable, the radon fan in an active system typically has a lifespan of 5 to 10 years and will need to be replaced. As long as the fan is working, the mitigation system should function correctly.
No, radon mitigation systems do not decrease home value or make a home harder to sell. In areas where homes experience similar radon exposure risks, a radon mitigation system is viewed as an improvement. Potential homebuyers often opt to buy a home with a radon mitigation system already installed to reduce the risk of cancer for their families.
While DIY testing is possible, abatement generally requires professional installation to ensure efficacy and meet safety standards.
