"We had a radon remediation installed by them in 2021. We've had to replace the fan 2x already- whereas the expected lifetime of a fan is 8-10 years."

"The guys came out within a day or two of my initial call and spent quite a bit of time explaining what they would do. They were patient and seemed very knowledgeable. Their solution involved routing the exhaust through the garage and garage attic and out the roof, which would be much more attractive and less subject to weather extremes than routing the exhaust pipe along the exterior of the house. After I gave them the go ahead, they were able to schedule the work within 1-2 weeks. They arrived on time and were very efficient, finishing a little earlier than I had expected. In addition to the radon remediation they patched a foundation crack for considerably less money than companies that specialize in foundation repair."

"I called David asking for a Radon test, within 45 minutes he arrived at my house. After he performed the test, we decided to have a unit installed. From start to finish David & his team was nothing but professional. I highly recommend David Cook Radon Services. 5 stars…Thanks again"

"Jim was very professional.  He emailed me and called me right back when I was trying to contact him for pricing/availability.  He came out to the house during the inspection, was early, and setup the equipment.  He told me that he had to turn the heat up to accommodate the readings and to ensure quality results.  Within 2 days he had a report emailed to us - as guaranteed/expected - and we were able to say that the house was at a low level for radon and passed with flying colors. <br />"

"Working with BRT on our home inspection and radon test was incredibly easy and very competitively priced. Dave was very easy to get a hold of and was able to schedule us quickly. He is very knowledgeable about homes and construction in general. He not only showed me certain issues with the house but also explained which items I could fix myself and where to buy the parts. He differentiated the items that couldn't be "DIY-ed" and offered to provide (didn't push) contacts for these items. The best value with BRT is the fact that they can couple a radon test with their home inspection. Most home inspectors sub-contract their radon tests with different companies. This not only adds time to your inspection (cutting into your inspection review period) but also costs a lot more money (I quoted 5 different home inspectors and BRT was the most competitive). To top it all off, Dave is a personable guy who is very easy to get along with and has plenty of experiences to share. I would highly recommend Dave and BRT to anyone getting a home inspection (especially if you're getting a radon test too)."

"Daniel was very professional and the most thorough and experienced inspector I've ever met. He sent me a very detailed report for the 1500 sq ft condo, which could easily be transformed into a punch list of action items for the seller. In addition, he was very responsive to any questions and even sent me a list of recommended contractors when asked."

"This is the second time we've used Mr. Lisse. He was first recommended to us by our realtor as "the guy he would use if he were buying a new house". Jeff performs a very thorough inspection of every part of the house. He invites the prospective homebuyer to follow along throughout the whole process as he points out every high and low point of the property. He takes many pictures during the process and delivers an incredibly detailed report outlining all potential concerns, along with his recommendations on how to best go about remedying them. He also works closely with another company that provides radon testing services and can arrange for that service (at an additional charge) to take place concurrently with the inspection. <br /> <br />I believe we may have received a repeat customer discount of around $50, so the price quoted above may be lower than what might be expected for new clients, but no matter the price, this is the guy you want to check things out for you before you invest your savings in a new home. <br /> <br />Highly recommended."

FAQs for radon gas abatement projects in Northbrook, 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.
