"Thorough and informative. Our inspector, Chris, was there before our appointment to unlock doors, turn on lights, and get acclimated with the house. The inspection lasted about 3 hours and Chris explained things as he went. Chris even made it on to the very steep roof. We received the report the very next day. The report was thorough and clear with pictures for every finding."

"Tom was wonderful and extremely thorough! He explained everything as he went along and I left feeling like I really knew the ins and outs of the property. He was extremely personable and very professional. He called to schedule and follow up prior to the date of the inspection. I felt confident in him during the entire process. I would recommend him to anyone."

"adon After I contacted him, he responded promptly.  While evaluating the area that needed radon mitigation, he called to discuss an area that had not been evaluated by inspectors (not affiliated with him).  After accepting his price, we agreed on the day for the installation.  During the installation, he was respectful and communicative.  After completing the installation, he provided written warranties for me and the buyer.  I highly recommend Keystone Radon Mitigators.

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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.

Radon is present almost everywhere but, like sunlight, the concentration levels and how often you are exposed to it have a large part to play in just how dangerous it is. There are levels of radon that are acceptable inside a house, but above a certain limit, radon becomes a serious radioactive hazard that is a known cause of lung cancer. In fact, radon exposure is the number two leading cause of lung cancer (after smoking).

The cost for a radon mitigation system typically ranges from $800 to $1,500, with an average around $1,000. The final price depends on several factors, including the size of your home, the severity of the radon issue, and the type of system required. Your home's foundation type also significantly impacts the cost. For example, sealing and ventilating an unfinished basement might cost around $4,600, while encapsulating a crawl space without a foundation slab can range from $1,500 to $15,000.

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.

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.
