"It went great. I highly recommend them. They were a pleasure to deal with. The person that came out for the estimate answered all of my questions. The estimate was fair. The work was done on schedule and with no problem. At completion, everything was explained to me. I used their electrician which worked out fine. After completion the radon test showed that my level was now undetectable."

"We hired PureTech to advise us on a real estate inspection that included a radon test. That test came back over the safety threshold. After meeting with Zach C, he advised us to make some repairs in the basement and to schedule a retest. We did and the results speak for themselves; the levels came back well into the safe zone. I couldn't be more pleased with the recommendations made by PureTech and Zach C specifically. Saved us a bundle in what could have been a nightmare, and now the sale of our home can proceed. Thank you PureTech!"

"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).

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.

Your radon fan needs to operate 24/7 to be effective. The only time the fan isn't operating is during its replacement. Radon levels in the home can increase within hours if the fan stops working or something obstructs the stack vent. Fortunately, radon systems require no downtime maintenance between fan changes.

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.

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.
