FAQ
Everything You Asked About Radon
Do you offer radon testing?
We do not offer radon testing. We install and service radon mitigation systems. For a test, use a licensed Illinois radon measurement professional or a home test kit, then send us your result for a free quote.
How much does a radon mitigation system cost?
Most residential radon mitigation systems run $1,450–$2,500, depending on your foundation, the layout of your home, and where the system routes. We give a free, no-obligation estimate up front, no surprises. See what affects the price
How long does installation take?
Most systems are installed in about half a day, and you can stay home while we work. It can take a little longer for larger homes, bigger crawlspaces, or older homes that need multiple suction points or more complicated work, but most are still done within one day.
Will the system really lower my radon?
Yes, and we guarantee it. A properly designed sub-slab depressurization system routinely brings homes from double-digit radon levels down below the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. We recommend a follow-up test to confirm the result in writing, and if it isn’t below 4.0, we’ll come back and make it right.
Are you licensed and insured?
Absolutely. We’re a Licensed Radon Mitigation Specialist through the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA), license #RNM2020203, and fully insured. Radon mitigation in Illinois must be performed by a licensed professional.
My fan stopped working / my system is loud. Can you help?
Yes. We install, replace, and repair radon fans of every brand, even systems we didn’t install. A humming, rattling, or silent fan usually means it’s time for a replacement. See our radon fan service
Is radon really that common in Central Illinois?
Yes. IEMA has reported that nearly 40 percent of Illinois homes tested were above the EPA action level, and much of Central Illinois sits in Radon Zone 1, the highest-potential category.
Can radon come back after mitigation?
A properly designed, working system keeps radon low for years. The main thing to watch is the fan, if it fails, levels can rise, which is why systems include a manometer and why we offer fan replacement and service.
Do new homes have radon too?
Yes, radon has nothing to do with a home’s age. Newer, tightly sealed homes can actually trap radon more effectively. Every home should be tested.
