"The service was for Radon Mitigation in our home that had higher than acceptable Radon levels. The work was professionally done, and care was taken to protect carpeting etc during their work. The crew updated us home owners as they did their work and asked permissions for needed modifications to the house. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for quality workmanship, congenial communication and moderate pricing."

"Our first radon result was 10.4, which was tested by another local company. We ordered a different test (a link on Athelon's website) to confirm the number, which was 7.7 (U.S. EPA acceptable level for indoor radon is <4.0 pCi/L). We had 3 companies review our situation and provide quotes. Athelon's quote was in the middle, about $100 more which was negligible. Dan Hylland was the only one who suggested an interior route could be an option through a closet, into the attic, and through the roof (vs venting it out at essentially ground level and then running the pipe up the side of the house and 18" above the roof, which would be an eyesore). However, on the day of installation, there were a ton of obstacles that prevented them from starting the internal route right away. But Dan was super thorough and did his due diligence to make the internal route work, which was totally worth it so we don't have a 4" pipe jetting out the side of our house and upward 18" beyond the roof. Athelon did a fantastic job and I would recommend them in a heartbeat."

"<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 />"

"First visit (1/27/15): I had contacted Tonna to check the flame sensor on my furnace.  the burner was cycling often.  During the first visit the technician confirmed my suspicion that the flame sensor was bad.  He also found that the drain for the exhaust fan was plugged and the burners were rusted (propane furnace).  He cleaned out the drain.  He also cleaned the flame sensor as best he could until he could come back with a new one.  He was very careful cleaning the drain to make sure water didn't spill on any electronics. <br /> Second visit (1/29/15): The technician installed the new burners and the new flame sensor. <br /> The labor seemed a bit excessive since he had to make two trips. <br />"

"I had some friends over late Friday evening and we were going to hit the hot tub.  Much to my dismay, removing the cover revealed a half-inch layer of ice instead of steamy, swirly goodness.  I did some basic checking: I looked in the panel and saw the breaker was tripped, tried to reset and it tripped again immediately.  So I went upstairs and removed the service disconnect from the hot tub, tried to flip the breaker again, and it still tripped immediately.  So I knew it was either a short in the wiring due to the extreme cold or a bad breaker. <br /> I searched for an electrician and found ES&S, called Rob for emergency service and eventually got someone sent out.  It was late on Friday when this started, and it was later still by the time the electrician showed up.  The man on site was great, he was helpful, thorough, and friendly.  We got the breaker out of the panel and tested it, getting it to set successfully out of the panel.  When it stayed set after being wired back in, we knew it was the breaker going bad and moved to replace it.  He put in a regular 50 amp and we went up to make sure the tub started. <br /> Of course, we had some frozen hoses by then, and the guy was good enough to lend me an extension cord and hang around for a  while as we put hairdryers and heaters under the hot tub to thaw things out and get it running again.  While we waited, he addressed some other minor issues around the house, and though he did leave before we got it working, my wife and I went to bed with a working hot tub at about 3 AM. <br /> I talked to Rob a few days later and scheduled another trip to replace the standard breaker they had left with a GFI model. They had no GFI's when they came out originally so this was an additional visit.  I also asked to go over the charges. He discussed callout, time-and-a-half for late night, the cost of the breaker itself, and the trip to install the GFI, and gave me an overall total of $440. <br />  The electrician showed up on time to replace the breaker again, and five minutes later was on his way.  This was about a week after the original event, but I now had a working, properly safe, hot tub again.  Another week or so goes by and I finally get the bill for $520 - almost 20% over what I had been quoted.   <br /> <br /> UPDATE: After my original review, Rob contacted me and after some discussion, we were able to reach a resolution. I have amended my review to reflect the additional services provided and the resolution on the billing.  We agreed to meet in the middle and based on some other estimates I received, the price is more fair than I initially believed.  I have to give Rob credit for reaching out after my original review posted, and I am glad we were able to reach a mutually acceptable resolution. We both had some challenges with this repair but based on how things ended up, I will use ES&S again as an electrical service provider."

"I am very pleased with them.  They did a very good job.  The drain tiles work awesome.  We had pretty heavy torrential rain and there was no drop in my basement at all.  They did a great job.  They are very friendly.  They communicate exactly what they are going to do.  They explain why the system is different then and what other systems are available and they were accurate when they said that.  They are always available.  They were very responsive."

FAQs for radon gas testing projects in Rochester, MN

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.
