"A+ all around and HIGHLY recommend Brian and Sandy! From start to finish, professionalism all around. I had previously used another radon company in my prior home and was disappointed with the sloppy work of the installers and overall disappointing level of service. Brian came out to the house right on time, as scheduled. He proceeded to explain to me my installation options given a relatively tight area with limited choices to route the exhaust pipe. We decided on the most appealing spot and he explained how he would cut into the block wall to make a clean cut, and where he would drill into the floor to put the 4" pipe. Throughout the process he was extremely attentive and courteous - draping the workspace in a canvas dropcloth to protect against dust, using a shop-vac while drilling to keep the area clean, and overall just being a conscientous houseguest by removing his shoes inside, etc. From start to finish it took about 2 hours and the finished product looked fantastic. Do yourself a favor. Don't look anywhere else and give them a call. You won't be disappointed!"

"While researching radon mitigation companies Rich was always on point in calling me back and sending email. This is what was the deciding factor in choosing which company we picked. I also called Rich back after we found out the exterior foundation had lead paint. He said they would take precautions to contain the dust from drilling the concrete. The other prospective companies had no idea on how to deal with this scenario and never called back when they said they would. The workers showed up a half hour early which was great and finished in 2 hours. The workers were very professional and cleaned up like they were never there. I asked if they could put it a certain location that was more convenient for us. No questions asked and they agreed that it would be a good spot. They caulked all piping in the basement so the system could be more effective in mitigating the radon. After installation they went over the system and answered any questions that I had. They guarantee the system and to get the levels below 4. The price was reasonable compared to other quotes. I would highly recommend them no questions asked."

"The service provided was Excellent! The radon level is now safe!! Joh and his team agreed to instal the system on one of the coldest days of the year in early Jan because I was worried and didn't want to wait for better weather. They were punctual, professional and personable. Joh helped pick the location for the unit so that it would be functional but also uninstrusive in the basement and on the outside of the house. Except for the soft whirring sound you would never know the system was there. It blends in so well on the outside that it just looks like another drain spout. I couldn't be more pleased. I would highly recommend them to anyone that wants to lower the radon in their house to a safe level."

"John was great to work with. He was able to accommodate a quick turn around on an inspection, and his inspection was very thorough and helpful. John is very knowledgeable and was eager to explain everything. He went above and beyond to start radon tests early, and he was willing to stay as long as was necessary for the inspection itself. We received the inspection report promptly, just a day after the inspection. I would highly recommend the services of Citywide."

"Originally one of the names provided by my realtor, I check all names through Angies List and give preferences to those who are listed.  So, I reached out to George and talked with him about the new home we were purchasing.  We scheduled for him to come out to the house and perform a home inspection, radon test and pest inspection (which was subbed out).  It was a great experience. <br /> George took his time and pointed out the issues of the 1969 house.  We appreciated his patience with answering our questions and his thoroughness of the inspection.  The final report was provided that weekend (inspection was on a Friday). <br /> We would recommend George to our family and friends who need a quality home inspector. <br /> <br />"

"<p>Randy was absolutely excellent. This was our first home and I know nothing about houses. He walked me through and just taught me a ton, while checking everything. He just so clearly knows houses top to bottom and was super professional. He was super nice, it was like having a caring uncle who knows a ton about houses teaching you what's what. </p> <p>He arrived early, did not seem at all in any hurry to leave despite me having a ton of questions. I even asked him after the inspection for some recommendations of contractors to use for various services and he was happy to give me some names. </p> <p>Quality Home Inspections also had some very nice electronic communication (appointment confirmation, invoice, etc.) and I was able to pay ahead of time via his website. Made it very easy.</p> <p>Absolutely recommended this company.</p> <p>The price was actually $325 for the inspection, $125 for the radon which he did himself, and $60 for the wood-destroying pests which he sub-contracted through a pest company (who came while he was there and did a good job as well). </p> <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 />"

FAQs for radon gas testing projects in Pittsburgh, PA

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. The gas seeps through cracks in foundations and collects in basements and other low areas. Once you breathe it in, radioactive particles lodge in lung tissue and do long-term damage. Because you can’t see or smell radon, the EPA recommends testing your home every two years—and after major renovations—to keep your family safe.

Yes—every home should be tested. The EPA advises doing it at least every two years and any time you remodel, buy, or sell. On average, one in 15 houses nationwide sits above the recommended limit, and the only way to know where yours stands is a formal test. The equipment simply measures gas levels and won’t change your indoor environment, so the process is completely harmless.

Certified radon professionals—often home inspectors or dedicated radon mitigation contractors—handle testing. These radon testing professionals follow EPA protocols and use calibrated instruments to check levels throughout your house. Hiring a certified radon specialist means results you can trust for real estate deals, insurance requirements, and, most importantly, your family’s health.

Inspectors specialize in measuring radon gas levels, while licensed mitigation contractors design and install the systems that remove it. If your test comes back high, your inspector can point you to a qualified mitigation pro who will size and install the right fan, piping, or other equipment to bring levels down.

No—standard home air purifiers don’t touch radon. They’re built to trap dust and pollen, not radioactive gas. If testing shows high levels, you’ll need a dedicated mitigation system that vents the gas from beneath your home to the outdoors. Relying on a room purifier alone won’t keep your indoor air safe.

Opening a few windows in your home might dilute radon for a short time, but the gas seeps back in as soon as they’re closed. For a lasting fix, you’ll need a professional mitigation system—often a sub-slab depressurization fan—that pulls radon from beneath the foundation and safely vents it outside.
