"Jeff and his folks were a pleasure to work with. His communication regarding any delays or other issues is excellent. He is also great at answering followup questions that I have about how the system is running. It took our radon readings down to nearly zero from an alarmingly high value. We were hovering below 4 pCi for many years, but then our crawlspace was sealed and insulated and it soared in the living space. (The crawlspace itself was 20 pCi). Highly recommend."

"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!"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

If your home has a sump pit, you can integrate it with a radon mitigation system. You can accomplish this by sealing the pump cover with an airtight lid that accommodates radon vent pipes and sump pump hoses. This allows the vent pipe to redirect the radon gas outside of your home.

Testing every 2-5 years or upon adjusting occupancy or structural changes maintains safe environments.

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.

You can vent radon out of your house sometimes by simply opening a window, but it won’t remove the source, and will likely rise above recommended levels quickly. A professional will be needed to assess your home, and determine the best strategy for radon removal. Active radon sump pumps and soil depressurization systems are often used to forcefully vent the radon from your home.

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