"Schan did a great job, very professional. He came out to see what the job was before he gave me a quote. I have a huge crawl space which took some time but he stuck with it to finish it in one day. Now I can breathe easier knowing it's taking care of right. I highly recommend Clean Air Radon Systems."

"Installed radon mitigation system in basement. Pros: 1) reduced overall radon levels by about 75% 2) they did the work in extreme cold temps 3) done in about 4 hours Cons: 1) They arrived late (although they did call to let me know) 2) they did not wear boot covers or put down any floor protector when walking on my carpet 3) they set dirty toolboxes and caulk guns directly on carpet 4) exhaust pipe is too close to roof peak and can be seen from street view of house Overall, good job. I can live with seeing the pipe from the street. I would recommend based on the overall work."

"We needed a home inspection for a property in Chana IL.  This property is fenced and required the seller to to open the gates for us.  After I initially made an appointment with Mark to inspect it we were informed the seller could not be there and needed to change it to a Saturday.  Mark was able to find a way to fit us in.  He showed up early and was prepared to go to work right away.  Throughout the thorough inspection Mark pointed out anything of concern and explained what the issue was and what corrective action would need to be taken.  This was an older farm home and had more items that needed to be serviced than I originally thought.  Our inspection ended up taking much longer than expected due to type of home and some buildings on the property and Mark did not rush the inspection at all.  Anything we wanted to take a look at he was willing to give his opinion, take digital photos, and note in the comprehensive report we received via email.  We did have radon and mold inspections performed as well and the equipment he used was professional and had recent calibration.  With the depth of the inspection we have a good idea what we are up against with this home and it will help in asking the seller to provide a repair credit.  We would definitely recommend Mark Connely from Prospector to anyone.  We had just recently had an inspection done on another home and the inspector was slightly less expensive but did not document nearly as well or put anywhere near the effort into the inspection that Mark provided.  The saying you get what you pay for applies here and a home inspection is no place to cut a corner.  Hire Mark!"

"I was concerned with the other contractors we talked to because they required holes to be drilled in our basement concrete floor as well as pvc pipes being run all over our basement.  But with this system, the suction pipe went through our existing sump cover.  So we ended up with no dusty mess and no ugly pvc pipes on our home exterior because the fan sits in the interior. <br /> <br /> We were extremely satisfied with the solution - the radon levels are very low now - which is important because our kids play in the basement a lot."

FAQs for radon gas abatement projects in Cortland, IL

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.
