Get matched with top radon gas abatement pros in Smyrna, DE

"John Carpenter did an excellent job of cleaning our dryer vent."

"It was a system that was needed to reduce radon in our basement"

"Extremely fast, professional & the best price out there. I’ve been having radon mitigation systems installed for 15 years and this was the best company I ever used"

"These guys were great. Courteous, responsive service from the first phone call. The inspectors were knowledgeable and thorough and not only answered all our questions but proactively offered their thoughts on what we were looking at. And al at a better price than others I spoke to."

"Because we anticipate moving to a CCRC soon, we wanted to get our house "in shape" so it could be easily sold; no glitches, like radon above 4.0 pCi/L, which we've known it was for many years. Recent long-term tests of cancer rates among people in homes with radon above 4.0 vs. those below 4.0 produced some surprising results: People in homes with LOWER than 4.0 had HIGHER incidents of lung cancer than those with radon ABOVE 4.0. But, of course, the EPA is intractable on the subject, so ignores such studies, forcing homeowners with >4.0 pCi/L to spend a fair amount of money to reduce it below the arbitrary 4.0 before they sell their house. We contacted two companies. The first offered by far the lowest price, but did so without anyone from the company coming to the house to see what would be involved. We have a poured-concrete basement with a French drain all the way around it. A French drain is great if you have water seeping through the walls because it allows the water to drain back into the ground. But it also provides a path for radon to enter the house, so it has to be closed. In addition, you would not want to leave the drain open because the remediation is done by an exhaust fan that pulls the radon from under the basement floor and discharges it above the roof. Leaving a French drain open could cause the exhaust fan to create a negative pressure in the house, thereby pulling cold air in the winter and hot air in the summer into the house. So it had to be closed. I asked the first company if their quote included sealing the French drain. Their response was that they could seal all cracks in the floor, but the responder didn't know about the drain. Two emails to them about that question were ignored. The second company was Reliable. Although their bid was higher, the company owner came to the house (on time!), inspected the basement thoroughly and explained in detail what they would do, which included sealing the French drain. They used our sump (we have no sump pump) as the radon extraction point. If you don't have a sump, they have to cut a hole in the floor. In order to seal the French drain, they give you the option of (a) moving everything away from the walls or (b) adding $100 to the estimate and they will move the stuff for you. We moved it ourselves. The job was finished in 4 hours and was beautifully done. The only "con": The cover that seals the sump was left with lots of PVC glue spilled on it and on the floor around it. Not a big deal, but it will require us to clean it up with solvents and paint the cover so it looks neat. We highly recommend this company. In our opinion, they're a perfect example of "you get what you pay for"."

"<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 />"

"<p>Greg came and provided us an estimate on a large job in our basement. He was the second estimate we received and price wise, close to the competitor.  We thought Greg was knowledgeable, not pushy, and provided us multiple options to tackle the large job as a whole or in sections in our basement. His team was prompt, professional and worked a long day.  When they left there was no evidence that they were there.  They were clean and not disruptive to the day.  We couldn't even tell where they had dug in the yard for the drainage.</p> <p>We had a very, very musty, damp basement,  and were finding mold growing on everything we stored in it.  We had a large dehumidifier down there, but it was running constantly and not helping the smell or dampness. We were skeptical when Greg said the dehumidifier he would install would take care of the problem, but within a day of it running the smell and dampness was immediately gone.  Our basement now is at a constant safe level of humidity and pleasantly odor free.  The dehumidifier is quiet and efficient.</p> <p>We will be hiring Kinetic basement in the future to continue our basement project.</p> <br />"

"Great from start to finish <br />"

"They were very nice & lovely to deal with but their estimates were off the charts. We found a much better price elsewhere."
