"We had had a new kitchen put in and then a year later, we had had our kitchen floor redone and basement repaired after a flood in our house. Water from our washer had flooded the kitchen and laundry room and then flowed through the floor into the basement theater room and rec room. We had to have a new (porcelain) tile floor put in upstairs and new paint and carpeting throughout the basement. The work for the new kitchen and then the flood required a huge amount of sanding, spackling and more sanding...etc. The dust in our house was a big problem afterwards from the spackle dust that accumulated in our ducts. We decided to have our ducts cleaned and found All States on Angie's list. It went great! They were on time, conversant about the state of our ducts. They did the job. I have noticed that the air is better in the house and we have much less dust on furniture! Very happy with their services and I would definitely hire them again. "

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.
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).
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.
Installing a mitigation system reduces radon levels, which can cause lung cancer, providing peace of mind and long-term health benefits. It can also increase your home’s value, as many buyers prefer properties with radon safety measures in place. The investment is relatively low compared to the potential health risks associated with prolonged radon exposure.
Mitigation reduces radon levels, protecting your health and complying with safety standards.
