"Richard Songer was the tech who did the work. He was extremely fast worker, polite and took the time to answer any questions I had. Before he started the work my readings in the basement where in the low 20s. 24 hrs after he finished the work my readings where under 4."

"Comprehensive discussion of what will be done, included pictures, good discussion of the actual mechanism that removes the radon. Once scheduled the process was completed in about 3 hours - walked me through what was done. The final product looked just liked the pictures. Discussed maintenance before leaving. All went well and was pleased. Radon's now at healthy levels."

"Michael conducted a home inspection for us in Ames last week. Alison was able to schedule this quickly (within a week of the request). The inspection was thorough. I had conducted my own walk through beforehand, but missed many things that he was able to find, and then clearly explain to me. I appreciated his candor and thoughts on the seriousness of the issue as well as contractors who might be able to complete the repair. His report was completed the SAME day! This is now my reference document on items that I'll address over the next year. The inspection gave my wife and I the confidence to move ahead with the purchase. I highly recommend The Brickkicker!"

FAQs for radon gas abatement projects in Ames, IA

The only way to know whether your home or water supply contains radon is to schedule a professional test. A qualified radon inspector will collect samples, deliver lab-verified results, and explain the findings for $150 to $800. Once you know your exact levels, you and your radon mitigation pro can choose the right system and tackle the problem before it affects your family’s health.

Both roles tackle radon, but they focus on different steps. Inspectors test your home, interpret the results, and determine whether levels exceed EPA guidelines. Mitigation pros design and install the system that lowers those levels. Some companies do both, but the skills and equipment differ, so always verify that the person you hire is properly certified for the specific service you need.

Installing a mitigation unit fixes radon problems by reducing indoor gas levels to established safe standards. A system designed and installed by a mitigation expert, tailored to your home's specific layout and foundation, guarantees effective radon reduction. This expert installation ensures consistent performance over time while safeguarding your indoor air quality.

Open windows and doors do not reduce radon levels because they trigger a pressure imbalance that draws radon-laden air into your home. This practice fails to control radon concentration and can even worsen the issue. An active suction mitigation system provides a proven, safe, and effective solution to reliably reduce radon levels.

Radon mitigation systems generally last between 10 and 30 years, depending on system type and maintenance. Passive systems endure the longest because they have no moving parts, whereas active systems, which use a fan, require fan replacement every 5 to 10 years. System components, such as PVC pipes, seals, and fittings, can remain effective for decades when paired with periodic inspections and proper maintenance.

Radon mitigation systems consume between 300 and 3,000 kWh of electricity per year, depending on fan size and system design. On average, an active radon fan draws 100 to 300 watts continuously, which translates to roughly 876 kWh annually, and adds $30 to $300 to your energy bill each year. Choosing a high-efficiency fan and ensuring tight sealing around pipes helps minimize these ongoing costs.
