"The one they did in 2007 has held up, but the one they did in 2013 has not held up. They put a lifetime guarantee on their work, so they are going to fix it. They do excellent work."

"This company is great to work with. They did some mold testing on parents’ home and did excellent work. They also did some work on my home. They replaced a water heater and bathroom fans. He was easy to get a hold of, personable and come over right away."

".Greg was very professional from the beginning of the process to its conclusion of the project, answering several questions via e-mail which works so much better for us .  The team was on time and left very little to clean up and were extremely careful to not leave a mess. One concern we had was that we were getting a musty smell which made us think mold could be a threat to our health.  The encapsulation completely eliminated the odor and has put our minds at ease regarding any future possible mold concerns.  The only thing we would add is that the finished surface is is a only so smooth as it went over pea gravel and a plastic screen-like base.  It does't appear that this will be an issue for us as we move things in and out for storage, but it might others.  Overall, we are very happy!

"The team showed up at 8am on time and immediately got to work. They were very friendly and did not hesitate to ask questions regarding an old sprinkler system in the yard. They had to remove part of a hedge, but only removed the minimum amount needed to bury the drain pipe. The window well replacement is beautiful. They even replaced the drain at the bottom without asking. Overall, Scott and his team did a phenomenal job. I would totally hire them again."

"Chuck asked all the right questions before giving a quote and gave us multiple options to address the problem leaks. His serviceman, Josh, was courteous and professional, clean and efficient. They filled two basement cracks with the injection sealant and we are pleased with the results. I would use them again.

FAQs for radon gas abatement projects in Highwood, 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.
