"Hired to inspect a home I was trying to buy. Quick to respond, fair pricing, answered every question me and my SO asked about things during the inspection. Ended up backing out of that house and ended up getting under contract for another. Hired him again to inspect this house and the same thing. Would highly recommend"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

DIY kits are available for basic testing. Professional services provide comprehensive results and recommendations.

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.

Using an air purifier in your home or basement isn't an effective way to reduce or mitigate radon. Radon is an inert gas, meaning it doesn't react with other chemicals and can't be filtered the way particulates can be. While an air purifier can help improve your indoor air quality in other ways, don't rely on it to reduce radon.

A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed. 

The only way to determine if you have a radon problem in your home is to have professional testing done. You can buy DIY radon test kits, but these are sometimes inaccurate in certain temperatures and humidity levels, and they don’t paint the entire picture in terms of your radon exposure. Scheduling testing once every two to five years is best. You can also look out for the following symptoms, which, according to the American Cancer Society, are symptoms of radon exposure:

  • Shortness of breath

  • Cough

  • Tightness in the chest

  • Difficulty swallowing

  • Hoarseness
