"My main beef is that I was not advised, nor really consulted, about my options as to WHERE the huge PVC pipe can go. As such, it was placed in the middle of the garage wall and I lost 10 inches of width on that side of the garage. Maybe if a pre-inspection had been done, it would have been different, but I feel that Larry should have advised me on the phone, BEFORE the day of installation, that I should think about where the pipe should go. I think the installers, also, should have given more consideration as to where it should go, and told me the advantages and disadvantages of a certain placement. A second concern is that the EPA recommends that the cracks in the basement floor be sealed AFTER the installation since the vacuum will suck good air thru the basement cracks. No mention of this recommendation was made. If Radon Detection and Control doesn't want to do this, that's fine, but at least advise me that it should be done."

"It was a very bad snow day...the roads were horrible...but Dan still came, from far away, too!  I felt so bad that he had to sit in traffic in the bad weather, but he didn't seem to mind.  This is my first time home purchase, and I wanted to do everything right.  I checked Angie's List against the realtor's list of home inspectors and liked how thorough Dan's services were represented on his website. <br />  Dan did a great job checking everything, and giving us valuable info and pointers along the way for all the devices and structures he was checking over.  We learned a lot.  The house didn't have very many issues that needed addressed, but the few that did, we were able to get corrected by the seller.  Some were issues that I never would have thought to be obvious, so his expertise and eye for detail were much appreciated!  Since there was so much snow and ice, he wasn't able to get on the roof, but he did his best in checking everything from the ground.   <br /> One of the things I liked best is that he took down the serial numbers of all the major home appliances, like the fridge, dishwasher, stove, HVAC units, water heater, etc., and plugs them into a database later on that supplies monthly updates on any recall or safety info that might pop up with that particular unit.  It's a great bonus that us first time homebuyers love. <br /> Overall, I was extremely please with Dan's professionalism, friendliness, and thoroughness.  Easy to tell he loves his job.  I would recommend his services to anyone. <br />"

FAQs for radon gas abatement projects in Punxsutawney, PA

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.
