"Words cannot fully express how grateful I am to have found Biotek Environmental! Ted took a lot of time compassionately listening to my concerns and explaining the initial process over the phone. Tyler patiently shared his extensive knowledge on how mold develops along with natural ways to clean clothes and surfaces. He also explained the meter reads of mold counts and humidity levels as I tagged along from room to room during the home inspection. Every step of the process was clearly explained creating a great sense of confidence in me and Dad. Crew members Jermaine, Ray, and Matt were friendly, considerate, and diligent in their hardworking task of removing the mold source. Donna was very professional and prompt to respond to any questions by email. I could go on and on with how pleased and relieved I am to have found Tyler and company but I will just close by stating the obvious: health is vital. My elderly father's health and general quality of life have improved substantially since we hired Biotek Environmental. They are also a clean company with a generous warranty. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a healthier home."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is present everywhere, complete avoidance is impossible. 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 preventative measures if your home's radon levels are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.

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).
