"I selected Advanced Radon Services, Inc. because Mr. Edwin Huff listened to my concerns the best of all firms quoted. In addition, Mr. Huff explained their system to me in detail. I had read a lot online and viewed numerous YouTube videos to have an appreciation for what Mr. Huff explained. I had purchased a continuous radon monitor. My average readings before the radon mitigation system was installed were 16.7 Pico curies. Afterwards, I’m averaging 0.40. I definitely recommend Advanced Radon Services, Inc."

"As a first time home buyer, I wanted to make sure that every step was covered in a way that I could understand the process and the impact of the inspection results. I was so relieved at having chosen Talon because they checked every box. Patient, professional, thorough, friendly, etc. He was able to explain everything in a way that saved me from buying a house that was not right for my family. I can't recommend them enough!"

"This company was wonderful...friendly, professional and we felt like they listened to our concerns and addressed the issue.  They installed a radon system in our basement, which required drilling into the foundation and installing an exhaust fan through the roof in our garage.  They showed up on the day/time they promised, worked quickly & efficiently.  They cleaned up after themselves.  We had a slight mishap w/ some drywall in the ceiling of our garage, during the exhaust fan installation...but they quickly called and drywall company and had it fixed at no extra charge to us.   <br /> They followed up, as promised, with the new radon testing and were timely getting us the results.   <br /> I've called a couple of times, since the installation, with questions about the monitor reading ... they were very professional both times.  Listened to my concerns and explained the readings to me - both times offering to come out if I felt that they should take a look at the system (which wasn't required).  So glad that we used Protect Environmental.  Our neighbors have since had radon systems installed and opted to go with a company that quoted them a lower price...but they have had poor customer service during and after the installation.  Protect Environmental was worth every penny! <br />"

"<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 />"

"Good experience: We purchased our home a few years ago and it was marketed as having a radon mitigation system though we weren't sure where it was. Decided to test in December 2016 and discovered that radon levels in our home were high. Apex attempted reasonable incremental steps without jumping to recommend an entirely new mitigation system and I appreciated that approach. They determined that the fan in our attic was actually set to reverse (!!) and recommended a new fan given the size of our home. Installation was quick. We tried that for a few weeks but the numbers remained high (I purchased a digital radon reader after those initial tests.) So Gerry and Nate returned to provide with me a quote on a new system after spending a lot of time hashing out the best placement, determining if the old system could be salvaged in any way, etc. Our big problem was that our basement was fully finished and they were sensitive to the fact that a new system would require cutting into our carpet, our drywall, and the side of the house. They sent their quote within 2 days and it was very reasonable. They began by attempting to remediate the old system but after some investigation, it appeared that the old radon mitigation system hadn't been a system at all - it was incomplete and in short, the house had no means of venting of radon - an unpleasant discovery. Gerry and Nate subsequently proceeded to install the new mitigation system. The new system took a long time (8 hrs) to install due to idiosyncracies in our home's layout and issues within the walls but they contended with all "surprises" and at the end of the day I had a new mitigation system. Within 36 hrs, my radon reading dropped from 17-18 to 0.8. It seems to work!!"

"How to hire a home inspector…step 1…research. Don’t just take their word for it…anything can be written on a website. Verify their licensing and professional memberships. Here are Larry McCaslin’s credentials: *InterNACHI Certified - [*** Link removed ***] *KY State Home Inspector License - [*** Link removed ***] *member KREIA - [*** Link removed ***] *NRPP Certified - [*** Link removed ***] *BBB Rating A+ - [*** Link removed ***] *Angie’s List Rating A - [*** Link removed ***] Step 2: ask if you can tag along. Several experts recommended following along as the inspector works. Larry welcomed me to walk around with him, and took the time to explain every question that I asked. I filled many pages of my notebook with information that will be vital when the time comes to have service done involving my electric, gas, water, or any other system in the house. We spent about 4 hours, inspecting my house from top to bottom. Step 3: how detailed will the report be? Larry provided an online report for me to download. It included every detail, with colored pictures, of every system we reviewed: Roofing, Exterior, Garage, Interiors, Structural Components, Plumbing System, Electrical System, HCAC, Insulation & Ventilation, and Built-In Kitchen Appliances. Each item was rated Inspected, Not Inspected, Not Present, or Repair/Replace, and included detailed recommendations. I was able to take this report to the individual contractors, and they understood precisely what correction needed to be made. Invaluable! Step 4: read other customers reviews. Step 5: hire Larry McCaslin!"

FAQs for radon gas abatement projects in Nicholasville, KY

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.
