We use certified laboratories and state-of-the-art equipment
This ensures accurate and reliable test results. Springfield is very inconsistent with respect to radon gas test results. EPA figures are derived from averaging all tests collected from this area, which is no guarantee for a specific property. There are sections of Springfield that consistently measure in the 12’s and above.
High Risk >4 pCi/L*
Moderate 2-4 pCi/L
Low Risk <2 pCi/L
*4 pico-curries per liter is the EPA limit

Radon gas can be reduced to below 4 pCi/L for under $1,000
Even in some of the worst cases. The procedure is simple. It’s about the same as installing a sump pump for water. A sump is installed with an air pump and 4″-6″ plastic pipe, which leads to the roof. Radon gas is trapped in the sump and pulled outside by the air pump. Radon remediation systems are rarely more complicated than this.
