"Found on Home Advisor, responded quickly after I reached out. Hired to install radon mitigation. Without asking....He took his shoes off once he saw we did. Cut could not have been any cleaner thru the laundry room tile and 4-6" of concrete subfloor, he didn't even break the tile! Took about 5-6 hrs to install. Post radon test came in at 0.3. Previously between 4-10. Worth every penny of the investment. You can't put a price on your health. Now we can breathe easy! Thank you Tyler Lucas!"

"The energy audit surfaced some significant issues. That's what we wanted. Shelter Alternatives presented a bid for the job, which seemed high. We are checking with other contractors to complete the work."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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.

Mitigation can take several days depending on home setup, equipment accessibility, and achieving effective diffusion system sealed efficiency.

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.

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.

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.
