"I very rarely write endorsements, but in this case, my experience was so satisfying that I felt an obligation to share. I have no connection to Marty, other than hiring him and his company, I have not been paid or discounted to write this and I never would sell my opinion. I had massive amounts of water leaking into my finished basement during the July 2017 record rainfalls. It wasn't the first time to get some water, but this was way more than normal. Carpet smelled really bad. I was sneezing and couldn't spend more than a few minutes downstairs to do my laundry. I contacted 2 contractors listed on Home Advisor. Marty from ATI called first thing the next day. He rearranged his schedule to see the damage after I told him I was anxious to get it fixed asap. He arrived on time and texted before he arrived. Very professional. Highly qualified. I was impressed with his scientific knowledge of the problem. He was NOT selling me on his services, he explained how the damage occurred, how to clean it up and what would need to be done to fix it. He discovered potential asbestos tile underneath the soaked carpet. I told him to take it all out and remediate mold and asbestos. I chose to forgo the prior testing to expedite the repair. He gave me a quote on site and I gave him a down payment. He and his employee, Wyatt, arrived 10 days later and worked more than 12 hours that day in hazmat suits and masks. The amount of work needed was unbelievable. They sealed off the basement with plastic and put up notices of the hazards. They came back another day to complete outside drainage of gutters. I asked about some other asbestos abatement and Marty prepared a proposal for exactly what I requested. I didn't hesitate to sign another contract for the additional work based on the quality of their work. I'm extremely pleased with their work and the results. I could add so much more to this review for all the things they did above and beyond the contract. One thing they did was to help move an old commercial oven from the basement when a buyer showed up in the midst of their remediation work. I thought the pricing was reasonable. The other quote I received was from someone who outlined a completely bogus remediation using essential oils and a $1000 fan. The other contractor told me he would not be wearing the hazmat suits and masks. That contractor's proposal was close in price to ATI, but I am certain the outcome would have been horrible. I spent $3250 on the first remediation and will spend another $4000 on the second part of the remediation."

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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).

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.

No, air purifiers are not an effective way to reduce or remove radon. Radon is a radioactive, inert gas that cannot be filtered by standard air purifiers, which are designed to capture particulates like dust and mold. While an air purifier can improve indoor air quality by removing other pollutants, it should not be relied upon for radon. The only effective solution for high radon levels is a dedicated radon mitigation system.

The average radon mitigation system uses about 876 kWh of electricity per year, although the exact amount of electricity used will vary depending on the size of the radon fan. Once the system is installed, the annual increase to your energy bill could range from $30 to $300 per year, again depending on the size of the fan.

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.
