"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

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.

While DIY testing is possible, abatement generally requires professional installation to ensure efficacy and meet safety standards.

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.

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.

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.
