"Well, Joel did eventually manage to get a good result, reducing the radon level to 0.6. And the work he did was neat and tidy. But it took him 3 tries and cost me 3.5 times the original estimate. Original estimate $1525, actual final cost $5272. And he left me stuck with a $1300 â high efficiency fan that I did not need. What the heck am I supposed to do with it? And why did not he just do what he finally ended up doing, moving they system to a different location, instead of perseverating at the original location using an industrial strength fan? In retrospect, I am not sure about his judgment. Plus he has real issues with timeliness the work took 12-15 months to complete, including 4 (count em 4) reschedules each of which ended up with my job being knocked to the back of the queue despite the fact that it was Joel who canceled each time. Finally, it took him as long as 12 months to get me a paid receipt for the first two attempts (totaling in excess of $3200) which were paid in full at the time he did the work. I am still waiting for a receipt for the final almost $2000 of work."

"He was on time, arrived at 9am as quoted and began to install the system. The system required two suction points and a sump pit cover. The sump pit originally had a pedestal pump in place and none of the other radon companies would change the pedestal pump to a submersible pump as required for the mitigation system to function properly. Rhino Radon not only changed the pump but installed a back flow check valve to ensure proper functioning of the system. All of the other companies said we would have to employ a plumber or a handy man to get this done. Had we gone that route the closing would not have happened. Rhino Radon gladly did all the work required and didn't even break for lunch!!! He was more concerned with getting us out of the vacant house seeing we are already down the cape. The system that involved a crawl space and being vented through the garage roof was completed immaculately and the test results came back at 0.5 pCil/L. This pleased the lender and buyer and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Rhino Radon Services.

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the system and property layout.

The natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water can cause radon to appear in a home. The gas seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, walls, or floors, as well as through gaps around pipes or construction joints. Radon levels are influenced by soil composition, building materials, and ventilation. Poorly sealed or airtight homes can trap radon, allowing it to accumulate.

Abatement includes sealing entry points and venting with systems that reduce radon levels below recommended EPA limits. It is handled by certified professionals.
