"Radon Abatement services is a reliable dependable superb company. I have had an excellent experience from start to finish. Scheduling was easy and expeditious, service was professionally and very well done. Most importantly, Radon is gone with its in-house level reduced to almost its outside level. John Swett was very helpful and kindly answered all my emails and quickly addressed every concern I had. This project could not have been done better."

"Could not have been any better. The office was responsive on initial contact, promptly scheduled, Came out and gave a detailed estimate and discussed their plan with real project photos. Very thoughtful on Options and strategy where to run the piping in a 29 year old house with not easy access for piping run. Detailed info on radon provided. They also replaced and sealed the sump pump which the two other estimates did not even consider. The crew communicated in advance on job start time. Mike and Clayton arrived right on time and were extremely professional and considerate, COVID-19 precautions with masks at all times, and they were done in about 3 hours; (much faster than others which said 1.5 days!) Cleaned up thoroughly vacuum etc. and went over system with me in detail. Their truck was well maintained, orderly with every tool and pipe connector possible. I got three estimates on this job. They GMD were not the cheapest of the three but the ~10 percent premium was worth it and included sump pump replacement and independent inspector testing follow up. Others bidders were cheaper and or did not account for follow up testing and/or did not give me confidence In their solution or capability to choose the best solution not the easiest one or cut a hole in my roof! I don’t write up many reviews but this was an experience worth sharing. Highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed."

"Bob was on time, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He performed a thorough inspection of the home and conducted a radon test. He spent a lot of time talking with us and explaining his findings. He also helped us out after the inspection by providing information about building code and safety when the seller questioned if some of the requested repairs were required. <br /> I think he may be a bit more pricey than other inspection services (we paid $640 for inspection + radon test), but the value he provides is well worth the price. Would absolutely use him again in the future and recommend him without any reservations. Should also add that he accommodated our tight timeline and came out on a weekend with only a couple days notice. He's great! <br />"

"Robert was extremely thorough, knowledgable, kind, and helpful! He inspected my soon-to-be house above Maryland state code, testing every outlet and window in every room, identifying and finding tons of things I had not noticed myself. As part of the process, Robert took pictures of every part of the home he noticed with imperfections, and marked them with red taped dots. The same day he did the home inspection, Robert then used the pictures he'd taken and sent me a multi-page, super detailed report walking me through everything we'd learned about the house, and literally showing me what he was talking about in each picture by putting in and referencing pictures. He spent several hours doing the inspection because it's a large property with multiple floors and buildings on it, and was indispensable with the advice and knowledge he shared with me. He taught me how to replace my furnace filter, showed me how to extend my gutter system to get drainage further from my foundation, and even showed me how to use the new gas stove and taught me about what a convection oven does and how to paint my living room walls. Robert's above and beyond thorough and helpful, and will more than go the extra mile to make sure your home is perfect for me. I plan to keep coming back to him for future recommendations on both contractors for my new home he trusts, and advice on living in an older home. Since the super quick turnaround (same day!) for his report on my home, he also took the time to send me a ton of info following up on what he was teaching me about painting my own place to save money. You won't find a better guy!"

"I sent a text to Mitch late on Thanksgiving eve. Mitch responded early in the following morning and was available for the inspection the following day at my requested time despite this being the Thanksgiving weekend. Mitch arrived with his assistant on time and spent three full hours for all the inspections requested. He was professional and polite. He pulled me a few times during the inspection, showed what he found and explained in detail what could be the potential issues in the future. He covered everything that I wanted to focus on including Roof, Deck, Windows, HVAC, Mold, Termite, Radon and the overall house. I also received the general report and Radon report quickly and on time. I would recommend Mitch to any one who wants to have a thorough inspection of the house. He has good knowledge and experience and gives you an honest opinion of the house. His report also includes the details along with all the pictures and recommendations which will help you make a final decision."

"From start to finish I was very pleased with THE BUILDING INSPECTOR OF AMERICA.  I contacted Carol at their office who was very nice and was able to schedule my inspection during the first call.  She was able to give me a time, date and a cost of the inspection and radon test while I was on the phone.  She followed up with an email to confirm details.  Days before the inspection Carol emailed again to confirm the appointment.  I am very pleased with my interactions with the office staff.   <br /> <br /> The home inspection went very well.  Charlie was prompt and polite.  He is very detailed.  We discussed the process before we started. He told us a number of great resources, even telling us we can contact him when ever we have any questions in the future.   <br /> The inspection was very through.  We walked the perimeter of the house.  Charlie pointed out possible problems in and outside of the house.  Addressed a number of concerns he saw.  He was very meticulous.  He climbed in to the attic, and a very tiny crawl space to inspect as much of the house as he could.  The whole inspection took about 4 hours.   <br /> During the inspection Charlie answered all of our questions and even gave us a number of tips and ideas for making improvements to our future home.   <br /> The inspection report was delivered within 24 hours.  It was very detailed, and helped us negotiate a number of issued with the homeowners.   <br /> I would hire Charlie and THE BUILDING INSPECTOR OF AMERICA any day.   <br /> <br /> <br />"

FAQs for radon gas abatement projects in Sykesville, MD

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.
