"We had the pleasure of working with Michael Gennett from MJG Home Inspections, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Michael is incredibly thorough—there wasn’t a single question he didn’t have a clear, informed answer to. He encouraged us to ask as many questions as we wanted during the inspection and made sure we fully understood what we were seeing, which gave us a ton of confidence going into the purchase. He’s clearly an expert in older Chicago homes, which often come with their own unique quirks and issues. Michael spotted things we never would have noticed and gave thoughtful, practical advice on each item. Even after the inspection, he remained responsive and available for follow-up questions—something we really appreciated. His inspection report was fantastic: incredibly detailed, well-organized, and easy to follow. We shared it with several contractors for estimates, and every single one commented on how thorough and professional it was. If you're looking for a reliable, meticulous inspector—especially for older homes in the Chicago area—look no further than MJG Home Inspections. Michael is truly top-tier."

"Rubin and Brandon came out to install our system on 3/14. They were both on-time and professional throughout the installation. They worked quickly, were clean, did a great job explaining how it worked, and answered all of my questions. The system was competitively priced as well. I've worked with many contractors, and it's not common to get all of these from one company. My radon levels are close to 1/4 of what they were before within a week of the installation so I know it is working well."

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in the soil in Northern Illinois. It enters homes wherever the home is in contact with the ground. As we have improved insulation and worked to reduce energy costs in homes over the past 40 years, we have created an environment where radon concentrations have gone up since this gas is now trapped inside of the home. Most homeowners are unaware of the radon gas levels in their home and a very high percentage of homes in Northern Illinois need to be repaired. If you are a Real Estate Agent, you know that radon issues often occur after a purchase and sale agreement has been signed and before the closing. This frequently is a time when the schedule is tight and all parties are anxious to know about anything that might hold up the closing. And, since radon is a safety issue, it is much more likely to require resolution before the closing as opposed to simply an allowance at closing.

FAQs for radon gas testing projects in Bloomingdale, IL

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. The gas seeps through cracks in foundations and collects in basements and other low areas. Once you breathe it in, radioactive particles lodge in lung tissue and do long-term damage. Because you can’t see or smell radon, the EPA recommends testing your home every two years—and after major renovations—to keep your family safe.

Yes—every home should be tested. The EPA advises doing it at least every two years and any time you remodel, buy, or sell. On average, one in 15 houses nationwide sits above the recommended limit, and the only way to know where yours stands is a formal test. The equipment simply measures gas levels and won’t change your indoor environment, so the process is completely harmless.

Certified radon professionals—often home inspectors or dedicated radon mitigation contractors—handle testing. These radon testing professionals follow EPA protocols and use calibrated instruments to check levels throughout your house. Hiring a certified radon specialist means results you can trust for real estate deals, insurance requirements, and, most importantly, your family’s health.

Inspectors specialize in measuring radon gas levels, while licensed mitigation contractors design and install the systems that remove it. If your test comes back high, your inspector can point you to a qualified mitigation pro who will size and install the right fan, piping, or other equipment to bring levels down.

No—standard home air purifiers don’t touch radon. They’re built to trap dust and pollen, not radioactive gas. If testing shows high levels, you’ll need a dedicated mitigation system that vents the gas from beneath your home to the outdoors. Relying on a room purifier alone won’t keep your indoor air safe.

Opening a few windows in your home might dilute radon for a short time, but the gas seeps back in as soon as they’re closed. For a lasting fix, you’ll need a professional mitigation system—often a sub-slab depressurization fan—that pulls radon from beneath the foundation and safely vents it outside.
