"You can have complet confidence that Radon Specialists will produce the desired result. Our radon long term average went from 7 pc/L to 0.4 pc/ L. We are very relieved. The workmanship of the mitigation system is professional grade and the process was completely unobtrusive."

"If you have a radon problem, then Tyler is your man. He demonstrated excellent technical expertise and did a beautiful job installing our radon mitigation system. And he did it at a very fair price. I am more than pleased. I could not recommend him any more highly."

"<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 />"

"The home inspection was conducted on a house we had just placed under contract. Our Realtor highly suggested having the inspection done and recommended Realty Inspection Group. We obtained a quote in advance for the inspection and found the cost to be quite reasonable ($460 including a Radon test and cash discount) considering the various aspects and required knowledge base involved. We had prepared ourselves by researching what should be included in a home inspection on the internet and had even printed out a checklist to make sure everything was covered. We didn't need our checklist though as it was quickly apparent that Jason, a former home construction company owner, knew his trade well. Jason was punctual and very pleasant, taking the time to answer any questions we had and to discuss any preliminary findings. We were only aware of a couple of potential problems before he started. During his extensive three hour inspection he identified almost a dozen issues that needed to be repaired or replaced! Among other things, Jason inspected the roof, chimney, fireplace, attic, gas furnace, ducts, windows, doors, lights, home exterior, deck, patio, plumbing, floors, interior walls, appliances, outlets, electrical grounding system, and even took a breaker panel apart to inspect the back side of one breaker that had exhibited some charred wiring! The day after the inspection we received a thorough and very professional 14 page report with photos that documented all discrepancies found. Jason reminded us that while he had inspected the home initially, he was always there should we need any further assistance or have any other questions concerning the house as long as we owned it. He has already assured us he will participate in the final walk through to assure all issues were properly resolved at no additional fee. We were extremely pleased with Jason and the services provided and consider the money well spent. We highly recommend Realty Inspection Group to all."

"While I appreciated Mr. Crockett personally coming out to provide a quote to fix a leaking sink, inoperable gas fireplace starter and broken attic stairs, I really felt the quote was really high so I called around and ended up getting everything fixed for 50% the quote provided...The quote received also had additional "potential" costs indicated... after observing the repairs conducted, I conclude that the quote provided was not accurate in price or work that was actually needed...Sink simply needed some tightening, but I was quoted replacing pipes and entire fixtures....I would not use this company again if in need of similar services. Your mileage may vary, just seems a little overpriced to me. <br />"

"The report I was given was thorough and accurate. It was exactly what I needed to make an informed decision on the house I was purchasing. If not for them I would have missed a ton of things that needed to be done asap. I would have lost so much money after purchase. Also having the mold test and radon tests done gave me peace of mind. The house had mold! Glad I had it tested."

FAQs for radon gas abatement projects in Salem, VA

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.
