"I had a radon mitigation system installed on Wednesday. The reason I went with your company was because of Ashley. When she met with us to go over the results of our testing and propose a solution I was greatly impressed with her knowledge of the system she was proposing. I had a number of questions and received a couple of other quotes but I always came back to Ashley. And I'm glad I did. Then there was Luke. I couldn't have asked for a better installer. He totally explained what he was going to do and did it expertly. I had a number of things that I asked him to change in the garage and he gladly did it even though it meant it was going to take longer to do. The main change was redirecting the PVC line to come out on the opposite side of my garage roof. That meant he had to climb up on to my steep garage roof in almost darkness. He did a great job and I would highly recommend Lifetime to anyone contemplating a radon mitigation system"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is naturally present everywhere, it is impossible to avoid entirely. 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 action to reduce radon levels if your home's test results are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.

The lifespan of a radon mitigation system depends on the type of system and its maintenance. With proper care, a system can last for many decades. Passive systems tend to last longer as they have fewer components that require replacement. Active systems, which have more moving parts like fans, generally have a shorter lifespan. For instance, water filtration devices and active pressurization systems require more frequent maintenance. While the system as a whole is durable, the radon fan in an active system typically has a lifespan of 5 to 10 years and will need to be replaced. As long as the fan is working, the mitigation system should function correctly.

No, radon mitigation systems do not decrease home value or make a home harder to sell. In areas where homes experience similar radon exposure risks, a radon mitigation system is viewed as an improvement. Potential homebuyers often opt to buy a home with a radon mitigation system already installed to reduce the risk of cancer for their families.

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.

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