"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."

"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.

"It was a little tough to get in touch with John at first as he apparently does home inspections part time, but once I did he was very prompt and was very thorough in his inspection. He explained everything in a manner that I could understand and answered all of my questions without being condescending. If he's still doing home inspections when I look to buy another house I'd certainly work with him again."

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.

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 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.

Ideally, no one will live in a house with elevated radon levels, as prolonged exposure increases the risk of serious health issues like lung cancer. However, homes with radon can be made safe through mitigation systems, such as active soil depressurization. Testing for radon regularly and addressing high levels helps ensure a safe living environment.
