Get matched with top radon gas testers in Peculiar, MO

"I recently purchased a foreclosure which tested with elevated levels of Radon during the home inspection. There were some companies that offered significantly less expensive solutions, but not impressed as their bids provided no information and would have been out the basement and up the side of the home which does not look very nice. Midwest Radom came out and we found a route out the basement, through the garage up through unfinished attic space, and out the roof which allowed the exit pipe to come out the roof on the backside of the home. This was actually decided upon during the initial install when we discovered the original solution presented by the estimator was not workable. They were not going to put firestop collars because I live in MO and "that is not required by code" even though I had discussed it with the owner when I first called, because I had done my homework and learned they are important and asked for them. They were going to charge more, but ended up honoring their original offer which I appreciate and feel is reasonable for some 4" PVC pipe, 2 X 2 plastic sheet, 4" radon fan, vacuum gauge, 2 fire collars, and 1 roof penetration flashing with 3-4 hours of labor with 2 technicians. They had to do a penetration from the basement to the garage and from the garage to the attic space. They pulled from an existing outlet for power for the fan and a final penetration out the roof. It took 2 trips to complete the work because it was raining or snowing the first trip they made. They charged $1005.00 for the job and took less than 4 hours to complete. They also performed a follow-up test which showed a decrease in Radon levels in the safe range. I highly recommend Midwest Radon because their price was fair for a good job done to my expectations based on industry best practices which are higher than what the state of Missouri presently requires."

"Job well done. Very professional and excellent quality."

"Paul was a very thorough and diligent inspector. He actually worked with us on a tight deadline to fit us in at the last minute. He explained all issues clearly and really put our minds at ease during this stressful process. I would highly recommend Varsity Home Inspections, and Paul to anyone!"

"The process started immediately. They came right away. They tested the surrounding areas for water and found reasonable amounts under the kitchen sink and little to no water in the basement. They set up a dehumidifier under the sink for one night, cut a hole in the bottom of the sink cabinet, and continued for two more nights. They then decreed that the sink area was good and wanted to proceed with plans that would cut a large hole in the basement to test for further water damage. We said no. Other than asking to sign an unexplained form that just highlighted the signature part and not the contents of the contract, there was no written explanation of plans, steps, and pricing. I felt like I was in a hospital where you were asked to take action in of emergency with no specific indication of cost. When I stopped the process to share concerns about cost, I was told it was too late for insurance to cover it, and that they had a 5-star rating. They gave me a verbal estimate of 1,500-5k."

"Wish I could leave 0 stars. Save yourself the headache and DO NOT HIRE this company to do your home inspections! Michael missed over 4 major natural gas leaks in an outdated gas line as well as major bathroom plumbing issues. Bathroom now needs work because of old galvanized plumbing that is mixed with copper and PVC leaking into crawlspace. Michael reported that all plumbing was copper and indeed there was not any galvanized plumbing. False! Repairs exceed over $8,000+ worth of parts and labor for both of these projects. Even though this was a major bargaining/repair oversight prior to closing, it could have been much, much worse. Me, my friends and/or family could have been severely injured in an explosion. Someone could have even died from this negligence! When I called a plumber to check out gas smells, there were leaks so bad the soap bubble tests looked like something out of a science fiction tale. There was absolutely no apology or attempt to apologize or to correct the situation. Metro Inspection could have said something like, "We are so sorry. What can WE do to make this right!?" Most companies do everything they can to help their customer. That didn't happen. They simple ignore me and contacted me only when I mentioned I would be leaving behind negative reviews. When Mike contacted me, he said things like, "You [and your realtor] knew I was not going down in the crawlspace, the gas leaks weren't there before there happened after the inspection, and we are not responsible for this because you know that we checked." At least two of the gas leaks occurred outside of the crawl space, actually in the garage, something that was lazily and neglectfully overlooked. They leaks weren't even in the crawl space as Mike argued. Customer service doesn't exist with this company and they simply blamed me and my realtor instead of correcting the problem. I feel rotten, upset, and extremely disheartened after the phone call. I requested that the gas line be paid ($3,900!) as well as a refund as a result of this company's incompetence and negligence. I requested that Metro Inspection contact the warranty service and the plumber to HELP ME OUT and get this sorted out as the warranty is only paying $500 of this bill, supposedly. This didn't happen either. No one helped me. To boot, when I requested a refund from Metro Property Inspection, they sent me a bunch of paperwork with legal jargon on it saying things like omitting liability in order to receive my refund back. That won't be happening. I am planning on holding them responsible. Absolutely abhorrent, vile, and repulsive business practices from this company. I have never in my life been blamed as a customer for a company's oversight. A major gas leak and it's the customer's fault?! Save yourself the nightmare these people will put you through and DO NOT HIRE THEM! I am a full-time educator and I have been dealing with this for months now when I come home. **Go someplace else whatever you do!! DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!**"

"I was amazed at how great their systems worked, using mats and suction, and commercial dehumidifiers, we did not have to have our wood floors restained. They were awesome!! Cole was a great lead as well."
