Long Term Radon Test: This style of radon test offers a much longer period of testing (at least 91-days) so that homeowners can track their radon levels accurately for as long as to 1-year. This is beneficial for people who want to see how their radon levels fluctuate and can more accurately determine what kind of mitigation may be needed for the home. We do not recommend this kind of radon test for people in the middle of a real estate transaction (because of the time frame associated) but rather for planted homeowners concerned about their health and indoor air quality.
Charcoal Radon Test: This radon testing option is our most cost effective choice. It is a "do-it-yourself" test kit that can be set up at any time and sent out to the lab after 3-7 days of radon testing. The kit includes the test itself, shipping to the lab, and the analyzed test results from the lab that we send over to you. We do not recommend this test for real estate transactions because of the shipping and lab analysis time, but it definitely is a great option for new homeowners or homeowners who have never had a test before and would like to know if their home is safe.

Why is Radon Mitigation important in Eau Claire?
If your homes radon level is above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L it can be a serious risk to you and your families health. The EPA estimates that around 20,000 people a year die from lung cancer caused by high radon levels. Our radon mitigation systems are designed to efficiently and effectively remove radon from the home and are guaranteed to get the radon level below the EPA action level. The only way to find out if your home has high levels of radon gas is to utilize the radon test options listed above. Radon gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless so there is no other way to tell if you have a radon problem. The health effects of radon usually go unnoticed for years so even if you think that since you have been living in high radon for years and haven’t noticed any issues, that doesn’t mean you can’t reverse the effects on your lungs by installing a radon mitigation system in your home.

Radon Mitigation System Cost
All of our radon mitigation systems are custom built to fit the homeowners needs. Every home is unique, so to determine what your home may need we would need to ask you some simple questions to determine what kind of radon system we would need to install. A few examples of the questions we ask during our free phone estimates are:
1. Is the house for sale? - This helps us determine if you are working with a closing date so we can pick the right radon test option when we do the retest. 2 What was your initial test result for radon? Most customers who call us for radon mitigation have already had their home tested whether they did it themselves or got a home inspector to do it. By providing us with that number we can determine how much radon gas we need to mitigate from the home. 3. What year was the home built? We ask this, because we can get a pretty good if the home has a drain tile system if the home is build after a certain year. This isn’t perfect because some homes have it installed later on, but it gives us a good idea of how the home is built and what codes it adheres to. 4. Are there any gravel or dirt crawl spaces in the basement? If the homeowner answers yes to this question, we usually like to send someone out there to look at it, because those usually need to be sealed and we like to give our customers a good idea of what their options are and what they may have to pay for that. 5. Is the basement finished, unfinished, or a little bit of both? We like to start our systems in an unfinished part of the basement, so we ask this to get a better picture of how your home is laid out, and what style of radon mitigation system is right for you. 6. What kind of roofing does the home have? We ask this because some styles of radon mitigation penetrate through the roof to vent the radon gas. Most homes in Eau Claire have standard asphalt shingles and for that, our technicians can easily penetrate that pipe through the roof and fix the shingles around it. But if your home has a different style of shingles such as cedar or slate we may need to have a roofer come in 7. Is there any in floor heating in the basement? We need to ask this because we have to drill into the floor and do not want to risk drilling into one of those water pipes that heat the floor. If you do have in floor heating, our skilled radon technicians can use an infrared scanner to find and avoid those pipes. 8. Do you have a sump pump, and if so, is it a pedestal or submersible style pump? The reason we ask about your sump pump is, we need to seal that sump croc and the only style pump that that’s possible with is a submersible style sump pump. There are three main reasons we need to seal that sump croc and require a submersible sump pump.
