"Rubin and Brandon came out to install our system on 3/14. They were both on-time and professional throughout the installation. They worked quickly, were clean, did a great job explaining how it worked, and answered all of my questions. The system was competitively priced as well. I've worked with many contractors, and it's not common to get all of these from one company. My radon levels are close to 1/4 of what they were before within a week of the installation so I know it is working well."

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in the soil in Northern Illinois. It enters homes wherever the home is in contact with the ground. As we have improved insulation and worked to reduce energy costs in homes over the past 40 years, we have created an environment where radon concentrations have gone up since this gas is now trapped inside of the home. Most homeowners are unaware of the radon gas levels in their home and a very high percentage of homes in Northern Illinois need to be repaired. If you are a Real Estate Agent, you know that radon issues often occur after a purchase and sale agreement has been signed and before the closing. This frequently is a time when the schedule is tight and all parties are anxious to know about anything that might hold up the closing. And, since radon is a safety issue, it is much more likely to require resolution before the closing as opposed to simply an allowance at closing.

"We had the pleasure of working with Michael Gennett from MJG Home Inspections, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Michael is incredibly thorough—there wasn’t a single question he didn’t have a clear, informed answer to. He encouraged us to ask as many questions as we wanted during the inspection and made sure we fully understood what we were seeing, which gave us a ton of confidence going into the purchase. He’s clearly an expert in older Chicago homes, which often come with their own unique quirks and issues. Michael spotted things we never would have noticed and gave thoughtful, practical advice on each item. Even after the inspection, he remained responsive and available for follow-up questions—something we really appreciated. His inspection report was fantastic: incredibly detailed, well-organized, and easy to follow. We shared it with several contractors for estimates, and every single one commented on how thorough and professional it was. If you're looking for a reliable, meticulous inspector—especially for older homes in the Chicago area—look no further than MJG Home Inspections. Michael is truly top-tier."

"I've used Domicile Consulting for several homes, after initially finding the company on Angie's List. Dan Cullen is exceptionally knowledgeable, objective and insightful. Prices are reasonable and well worth the investment. Dan takes copious pictures and compiles them in a handy report with recommendations. Highly recommended."

FAQs for radon gas abatement projects in La Grange, 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.
