Get matched with top radon detection and reduction specialists in Altoona, PA

"Lesson learned. Always get an estimate. BEFORE the work is done. At least a digital copy. Arrangements for the project were made, with some one named Lynn, for the company to send someone to complete the work. We were quoted over the phone 4500-5000 which included a mold test. A sub contractor with an entirely different company (National Mold Company) was sent. When the contractor arrived, he stated that the job would be much more simpler than first thought. This led us to believe that the job would cost less, no. All said and done, they charged $5500. All said and done, it's almost like no work was done. The stains and the smell are still there. Only one actual board was taken upon the attic room. The ceiling in the bedroom was primed and painted but are still visible and have a funky smell. At this point I'm going to. Do what we should have done; Do the job ourselves. Just now with $5500 less dollars in our pockets. A detailed receipt was not given even though it was requested."

"Will (owner) was very prompt in responding to my questions. I decided to proceed directly to treatment (skip testing) due to a prior mold problem in basement. Because he had an opening in his schedule that week, I decided to take care of the treatment right away. His team was very polite and professional and answered all of my questions. It took only about an hour to treat my entire house. Very happy with the service I received."

"Benedict was able to schedule me quickly for remediation. He put my mind at ease. They worked quickly and the space was spotless when they were done. He explained every step and the system in place has really done the job. He has been a pleasure to work with."

"Our home is about 100 years old and has a stone foundation. Water has been an issue in the basement for far longer than we have owned the home. In three days '58 Foundations installed a drain, pump and sealed the walls. It has been six months and there has been absolutely no signs of water or other moisture in the basement. We are extremely happy with the service they provided."

"Overall; it went well until the first driving rain which allowed water into the system. Had asked them about the pipe allowing water in and how that would affect the fan. They told me they warrantied their work and to not worry. They also said a drain hose would not allow water to bother the fan. For two weeks my readings had dropped to below 2 which is half the national average for needing the remediation (called them and said thank you). Then the rain hit and it has sounded sickly ever since without a break. For the first couple months; it sounded like someone threw in ball bearings to that fan. But since has just sounded sickly. Also have a radon of around 20; which is very unsatisfactory. I called them and told them the meter measuring inches of water equalized and I'm calling to have them come over to fix it. I asked if they had put enough sealant around the pipes. They said yes; and I looked and could find no problems with penetrations in floor being bad. He never came back over. I called several weeks later and left a message. No call back. Called a third time and no call back. I called the state radiation protection supervisor and she tried to get a hold of them. First they said they had the flu and would get back to her. They never called me. My advice to anyone dealing with radiation mitigation; would be not to use these people. I would also suggest they not move to Western Pennsylvania for two reasons. One is the pollution like radon which is abundant. Unless you want your kids to have lung cancer and other problems. They will never mention it to you before you move here. Most never find out. My dog had lung cancer after a few years; I have lung problems after a few years... my neighbor died of lung cancer a few years ago... this is a real issue people. Also, the state does not have authority to do much in this state apparently. I've also noticed many discrepancies with the state in other area's but that is not what we are talking about today. Just choose wisely. I've not mitigated my radon; nor have I had any real recourse; which is normal in this state. As is the level of experience in Western Pa. As it relates to national levels. Oh, if you do get sick here in western pa; you will likely die from the hospitals and staff here; though Pittsburgh has some good doctors; the rest of western pa is like going back 50 years in time; though they do well hiding that fact on outcomes. So your radon journey will be bad form cradle to grave in Western Pa. I've lost my time and money messing with this mitigation service. Found that the drain was installed incorrectly and made a p-trap just below the fan. This is the source of the problem ( I believe). Will have to be done over. Perhaps by myself when it cools down."

"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."
