"Short-term and long-term radon tests in the basement yielded readings of 5.6 and 5.1. Steve Daigle did an initial inspection and developed a sub-slab depressurization system to reduce the high radon level in the soil beneath the basement. The price for the system was fair - around the lower end of the averages. Steve did the work himself, except for the wiring of the fan motor to the house electrical system. The job took about 5 hours and went very smoothly. Three holes had to be made - one in the basement floor, one through the sill wall into the garage and one through the roof of the garage. All of the work was very clean and all debris was taken away. Steve was always checking to see if there were any questions before, during and after the installation and provided timely replies to any questions or issues. He also did the paperwork for the electrical permit. I was very pleased with Steve's work and the best part is that the post-mitigation radon test was a level of .5 - that's point five. <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 />"

"Dan performed air testing for Radon, and water testing for a wide variety of possible contaminants as part of pre-purchase building inspection. Responsiveness was fabulous, results were quick and very easy to understand, including very clear information on what the various EPA limits are for each item. The realtor said he's the best provider of this service he's ever seen, and he's been in the business for at least 10 years."

"We contacted Air and Water Quality, Inc, the Freeport office to give us a quote.  The salesman, Gregg, came out and checked out our basement to determine how the job was to be done.  He checked to see how the various water and venting pipes would have to be installed.  Our basement ceiling is very low and it was a chore to be able to snake the vent pipes through the crawl space.  He also checked to see if where the vent pipe was to be installed was far enough away from windows and propane tanks to be in code. Gregg went back to his office and drew up plans how this installation would have to be done. <br /> Air and Water gave us a quote of $5550 which was more than other companies I contacted but I was swayed by the brochure they gave me comparing their system (Clearadon aeration system) with other radon mitigation systems. This system was easier to maintain and appeared to have less wires and pumps hanging off it.  It looked more professional and safer. <br /> Just before the system was installed, the co-owner of the company stopped by to make sure everything was OK, this was a bit more complicated that some other jobs. <br /> We were not around when the actual work was done but everything looked like it was professionally done and the area was left clean. <br /> After running the system a day or so, I sent in the sample of water to the lab, from the testing kit that they left.  Testing was done as part of the price.  When the results came back they were lower but still high,  I contacted Air and Water and they went over a few common things that could cause that such as the switch for the exhaust fan being shut off.  I figured out what the problem was, I had moved a lever tht let in untreated water. Once I put the lever back and retested, again for no additional charge, the test came back as  less than150 pCi/L, prior to installation of the system the reading was over 10,000pCi/L. <br /> Overall I am very happy with Air and Water and their installation and system. <br />"

"We had Jeff perform an inspection of a home a few years ago. ....a home we were under contract to buy. But if turns out that house has radon, black mold, and needed thousands of dollars of other repairs, too. Jeff saved us from buying a lemon! <br />So, we asked him back to inspect another home, which we are buying now. And he performed his very efficient job. Now, we'll finally buy a new house!"

FAQs for radon gas abatement projects in Solon, ME

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.
