"The technicians were very quick and professional. The mitigation system install did not take long at all. They didn’t bother to seal off the sump pump cover so radon continued to come into the house. The techs brought up the fact that my sump pump cover would need seals off while they were here the first time but didn’t do anything for it. Now need another appointment for them to come look at it again and see what the next steps will be. Still cannot safely spend time within my finished basement and next appointment is well beyond a week away."

"Inspector was on time and explained everything to me. The report was returned a few days later and contained the current condition of the house I was buying, as well as preventive maintenance tips I should know. Coming from someone who doesn't know too much about home repair, I was thankful for the inspector's patience and willingness to explain all the details."

"Mike did an amazing job inspecting the home I am buying. He was incredibly thorough and took his time he wasn't rushed and didn't skip anything. An added bonus that I really appreciated was how well he explained different things that he noticed in and around the house. I never once felt like I was asking a stupid question when he had to go over something with me. He was very prompt with every question I emailed him and called to follow up on big things. The online report was sent promptly and it was really easy to look through. I would absolutely recommend him to my friends and family!"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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).

Radon is the number one non-smoking cause of lung cancer in the United States, but it can cause some other concerning side effects in the meantime. If you have a raspy voice, chest pains, trouble breathing, difficulty swallowing, or any of the above, don’t hesitate to perform radon testing and install a mitigation system as soon as possible.

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.

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.

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.
