"Radon mitigation isn't cheao, Especially if you are treating well water and basement air. Because we were doing both we got a discount. They showed up on time, worked quickly and performed final tests."

"We discovered that we had a radon reading of 11.4 ppm with an acceptable level of only 4.0 ppm. I joined Angie's List to find a qualified company in my area to learn what could be done. I chose A and R Environmental with a A rating based on several positive reviews. I called Aand R and spoke to a very knowledgeable young lady about where radon comes from, it's cancer effect on health issues and how to get rid of it. She explained in detail the mitigation process, the system itself and the cost of installation. That was on a Tuesday. An appointment was made for the following Thursday at 1:00 pm. The crew showed up on time and we decided on a location in the house to put the equipment. It took only three and a half hours start to finish. The system was installed, the house was cleaned of any debris and I was given a thorough explanation of the system and what to monitor. I can't say enough for Angie's List and the great people at A and R Environmental for their professionalism."

"Answered the phone themselves which was a huge plus. Very kind and professional, and called back promptly. Technician seemed very knowledgeable and was nice enough to explain what he was doing at each step. However, I do feel like I was completely ripped off by this company. I have since gotten estimates from 2 other local companies for the same work and it was half the price. Because of this I cannot recommend them nor would I hire again, which bothers me because at the time I would have said absolutely to both. Also told me not to drink my water until the chlorine is gone but could not provide me with any kind of test to tell when this had occurred."

"<p>it was superb! they easiest, hassle free Radon test in town, with extremely proficient people -- very knowledgeable and very people-friendly! they took their time to explain things on the phone to me before I committed. the test came back within 10 days or so -- via email. which is very convenient. it was very clear as it is, but I like talking through it and get advice. they were instantly available to discuss. they gave me future tips to keep on top of all things Radon related. </p> <p>I have to say that all this comes to be after 3 months of many back and forths with 3 other companies -- none of the other companies could be bothered to schedule a time, and those who did, never showed up.. many times over. I don't know why I was so patient with them and I wish had discovered Environmental Testing & Research Laboratories much sooner.</p> <p>Really highly recommend them!</p> <br />"

"The contact to engage we very simple - they have a fixed system price for air remediation - the system is effectively universal, with on;y minor changes that do not affect their pricing.  The were able to meet a aggressive schedule for installation, arrived on time, and completed the job in just under 3 hours.  The electrical connection (their sub) was made quickly, and they were done.  Set up the radon testing device to be left in place for 48-72 hours.  <br /> They offered two options - either they come and retrieve the test on Monday AM, or we close it up and send it out to the lab in an prepaid envelope that was provided. After a call on Monday morning,  to coordinate with Banner,  I opted for the latter, and sent it off.  Easy. <br /> Will wait for the test, but they do this frequently, so I expect that the process is successful by design. <br /> <br />"

"As a first time home buyer I had no idea what to expect. Margaret was fantastic. She was on the roof, in the attic, going out windows, etc...Margaret even found evidence that decades ago there was some sort of fire in the basement of the home I am buying. 1 day after the inspection I got a 64 page report with pictures of basically every part of the house. A couple days after that I got the radon numbers back. Margaret is the one to hire."

FAQs for radon gas testing projects in Ellington, CT

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.
