Radon Mitigation Beloit WIBeloit, WI has an EPA assigned Radon Zone of 1. Which means Beloit is located in a high-risk area of the country as the radon zone of 1 predicts an average indoor radon screening level greater than 4 pCi/L. Homes with an average of 4.0 pCi/L or above should absolutely install a radon mitigation system, because according to the EPA, long term exposure at 4.0 PcI/L is the equivalent of smoking 8 cigarettes a day or receiving 200 chest x rays a year.

Radon is known to cause lung cancer, in fact it is the leading cause of lung cancer among non smokers. We have been in business for over 21 years helping homeowners mitigate the dangerous radon gas from their homes, and we take pride in making the process as easy and painless as possible.

Radon Testing Beloit WIThe first step in the radon mitigation process is to test the radon levels in the basement in order to determine whether or not a mitigation system is necessary. We offer a variety of testing options, each with their own benefits.
Here are a few of the options that we offer for radon testing in Beloit: DIY Charcoal Testing: This radon testing option is sent to the homeowner to set up on their own, and takes 3-5 days to complete. The test is then sent back to our lab to be analyzed and we can provide results via email. This is a good test for homeowners who are not in the process of selling and want to take the first step in the radon mitigation process. |

Short Term Digital Testing: This radon testing option is set up by one of our certified technicians in your basement and only takes 48 hours to complete. The results are instant once we come back to pick up the device. We strongly recommend this testing option for real estate transactions and homeowners who don’t want to set up a test themselves.
Long Term Radon Tracking: This testing option is most commonly used in the winter to get long term averages of radon present in the home. These tests run for a minimum of 90 days.
During testing for any of the devices, windows and doors should be closed as much as possible. Air conditioners can be run, but not ones that draw outside air in directly like window air conditioners.

Garage Style Systems:
One style of system that we like to offer homeowners is through the garage. For this style of system the PVC piping runs from an unfinished are in your basement, up the basement wall, through the rim joist and into your garage. The radon fan is placed inside of the garage and the piping extends up and through your roof. The benefits of this system include:
Aesthetics: With a garage system, the PVC piping and fan cannot be seen from anywhere on the exterior of your home, the only thing you will see from the exterior is a small vent stack on the roof similar to any other plumbing vent stack you have up there already.
Price: Many homeowners have outlets inside of their garage that we can utilize to plug in the radon fan. If we can plug the fan into an existing outlet within 6 feet of the fan we do not need to bring our master electrician out to pull the right permits for that, and you will save about $300.
Fan Life: With the fan housed inside of the garage, it is protected from the elements and usually lasts a lot longer. This means the chances of needing a fan replacement after our industry leading 7 year fan warranty are lessened.

Radon Mitigation Companies Near Beloit WI
When it comes to choosing the right company to install a radon mitigation system in your home, there are a few big factors to consider.
Here are some questions to ask yourself before deciding on the right company:
How long has the company been in business?
We see a lot of new radon companies go out of business fairly quickly, leaving you with nobody to service the system under warranty. Also, even if they stay in business, many of these new companies only have a couple employees and do not have time to do maintenance on a system already installed, so they may ignore you if something goes wrong. We have been in the radon mitigation business for over 21 years and have 11 employees ready to help you before, during, and after installation.
Do they offer free digital retesting after the installation is complete?
Our company offers free, digital retesting for every real-estate transaction. This ensures that you will be getting your results back ultra fast so you can move forward with the closing on your home.
Are they pulling the right electrical permits to get the work completed?
Unfortunately many radon mitigation companies are doing their own electrical work without pulling any permits. This poses many issues such as liability, failed home inspections, and cost. Most municipalities have hefty fines for such actions.
Are they following proper radon mitigation standards?
Why risk having an uncertified mitigator come out to install your system? We have had to fix numerous systems from homeowners who chose to go with someone who improperly installed their radon system and it usually ends up costing them way more than they thought they would save by going with a cheaper option. Home inspectors will notice when the system isn’t to code, so make sure you go with a certified mitigator.
Do they have a fair guarantee?
We guarantee that your radon levels will be below the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L after the installation of our radon mitigation system if the home has a drain-tile system. If the home does not have a drain-tile system, we still guarantee the results, just not necessarily at the initial installation pricing. If for any reason your results come back higher than the EPA action level, we would come back out free of charge to resolve the issue.
Are you getting the entire story?
Many radon contractors will lure you in with a low “one size fits all” price to get you to book with them. But then they find out that the system may not be as easy as they expected and will drop extra pricing on you without ever letting you know. We are always transparent with our pricing and will always let you know if there will be any added costs before we do the install.
