"Joe knows radon.  He put in a system on short notice in my two story colonial with full basement.  I shopped around to two other Radon contractors and his was either the lowest or close to it, but he was also the first that I could schedule.  FYI: He said the overall cost was less because there was an existing sump pit.  We scheduled for the morning and I gave him access to the house.  By the time I got to the house at 11am he was done and gone with only the odor of fresh caulking, PVC pipes, and the muffled whirl of a fan.  The installation was professional with an acrylic custom cover cut to fit over the sump pit to keep debris out.  Plenty of signage and meters on the installed equipment indicating fan circuit, basically informing me and any future owner, "Do not shut this Off".  The radon reading in the basement was 25.4.  Joe was confident that once the system was in, it was going to be less than 1 (less than 4 is safe per EPA rules).  we tested three days later, and the official reading was 0.9.  Looking at the quality of work, I'd use him for any other venting related needs in this or future house.
He has an "F" grade from someone who complained about something not working after three months and he was going to charge a labor fee.  This is just my 2 cents, but don't think that was fair, as he does give you a 7 year warranty.  He warrants equipment for 7 years and will replace out equipment but there is a labor charge.  This is clearly spelled out in his contract.

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.

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.

You'll need to test your home for radon after installing the mitigation system, then again every two years. If radon remains elevated, contact a licensed radon professional, either the contractor who installed the system or a different one, and have them evaluate the system. They may need to make some changes to improve its effectiveness and performance.

Mitigation reduces radon levels, protecting your health and complying with safety standards.

You can vent radon out of your house sometimes by simply opening a window, but it won’t remove the source, and will likely rise above recommended levels quickly. A professional will be needed to assess your home, and determine the best strategy for radon removal. Active radon sump pumps and soil depressurization systems are often used to forcefully vent the radon from your home.
