"I specifically wanted an inspector that would be honest with me and not just gloss over costly problems with the homes we planned to buy. I've heard a lot of inspectors don't like to be "deal breakers" who get blacklisted from the realtors. I was nervous about the first home because we knew it needed work, but we are first time home buyers and weren't sure just what we were getting into. Thankfully, we chose the right inspector. Tom was thorough and noted every problem with the house. He caught a slight bulge in the basement wall that wouldn't have been permitted with our FHA loan. Although the owners could have fixed it first, there were several other major things we hadn't caught. We decided to pass on that house and went with another. We thought the second time around we had made a more informed choice (and it was a more expensive house). But again, Tom caught several things we had not seen. I also made several follow up calls about the details of his inspection, and he returned my calls each time, patiently answering my questions and explaining additional information. We appreciated Tom's honesty, professionalism, and thoroughness."

"We had a few workers here most of the time, the technicians were prompt and prepared, and friendly, which made things run smooth. Because of this, when an option was given, we were able to ask which way would save time and money, and trusted their judgement. We are very satisfied with the work that was completed and they left the place pretty clean considering all the soot they had to work in.

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is naturally present everywhere, it is impossible to avoid entirely. The average radon level in homes across the United States is 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking action to reduce radon levels if your home's test results are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.

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.

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.

A homeowner can install a radon mitigation system on their own. But it’s a challenging DIY that requires a lot of knowledge about radon mitigation as well as familiarity with local regulations. You do not want to risk an improper installation that leaves the system unable to detect radon or gives it a shortened life span. Relying on a professional is the surest way to guarantee a successful installation.

The cost to replace a radon fan ranges from $300 to $600 for the fan itself, with installation adding an additional $200 to $500. Overall, the total cost for replacement can range from $500 to $1,100, depending on factors such as the fan model, home size, and local labor rates. If the fan is part of a larger radon mitigation system, the price may be higher.
