"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.

"Neil is fantastic. Similarly to my last experience with him, he was prompt and professional. He had his septic resource properly scheduled, whom came out and did the septic test on time and were great to work with. He again explained everything as he went along, and again got the main home inspection report back to us the same day! He did a larger battery of tests than last time for us, and all results came back in a few days and were explained to us. Again, he offered his services to answer questions unrelated to home inspection if the need arises. We also had some concerns over some attic insulation, which he had tested for asbestos free of charge. I would highly recommend Neil!"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

The soil beneath your house is most likely what’s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it’s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn’t been through periodic radon tests, such as well water. Over time, the radon from the soil can inhabit other parts of your house like the foundation or plumbing.

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.

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.

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).

If your home has a sump pit, you can integrate it with a radon mitigation system. You can accomplish this by sealing the pump cover with an airtight lid that accommodates radon vent pipes and sump pump hoses. This allows the vent pipe to redirect the radon gas outside of your home.
