"Tom was in a word: Phenomenal. I scheduled an Inspection and Radon Test on HomeAdvisor. Tom reached out within minutes of my scheduling the appointment. He was extremely thorough yet timely and gave simple suggestions. The last thing he sought to do was to nickel and dime us- we truly appreciated that. He was very personable and kind. His prices we the best in the area (we shopped around) and the quality of his work speaks for itself. We've favorited him and will be giving him a ring for our next home."

"Hired Terry for a home inspection. I'm buying a home that i know needs a little tlc. I wanted the peace of mind that I'm not getting into something over my head. Terry was very professional. He arrived on time and did a thorough inspection. He found some things I hadn't seen on my 2 previous walk-thrus. He had the full report completed within 2 days. It's a very detailed report. All in all I would definitely recommend Roof 2 Basement to anyone who needs a thorough inspector! I see it as money well spent..now I know exactly what I'm getting into!"

"If you’re looking to get any type of inspection or home services then look no further. I recently became a customer of Justin Ake after trying to get my soon to be home inspected. Rick was dispatched to the property and went above and beyond, both explaining the inspection process and showing me key points in the houses plumping and drainage systems. As well as providing information on other tests and services the company performs. I don’t normally write reviews, but I have to say this is one business that takes pride in their trade."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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 average radon mitigation system uses about 876 kWh of electricity per year, although the exact amount of electricity used will vary depending on the size of the radon fan. Once the system is installed, the annual increase to your energy bill could range from $30 to $300 per year, again depending on the size of the fan.

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, 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.

Abatement includes sealing entry points and venting with systems that reduce radon levels below recommended EPA limits. It is handled by certified professionals.
