Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced when uranium breaks down in soil and rock. It seeps into homes through foundation cracks, sump pits, and other openings, and because it has no smell or color, it can build up indoors without any warning signs.
The EPA ranks radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, which is why testing matters even in a home that looks and feels fine.
Central Ohio sits in an EPA Zone 1 area, which means the region has the highest potential for elevated indoor radon levels in the country. The bedrock and soil composition throughout the area allow radon gas to move more easily toward the surface and into homes through foundation cracks and sump pits, which is why testing is recommended regardless of a home's age or condition.

Radon has no smell, color, or taste, so a home can have elevated levels with no visible sign at all. The only reliable way to know is a professional radon test, which measures the actual concentration in your home and compares it to the EPA's action level of 4 pCi/L.
Most radon mitigation systems use a vent pipe and fan to draw radon gas from beneath the foundation and release it safely outside, above the roofline and away from windows and living spaces. The system is designed around your home's foundation type and the areas where testing shows the highest concentrations.
Most residential radon mitigation systems are installed in about one day, depending on the size of the property and the complexity of the foundation. We walk you through the expected timeline during your free quote.
Yes! So you can count on long-term protection after installation. We also provide emergency availability when needed.
Ohio does not have a state law requiring a radon test before a home sale, but most real estate contracts in Central Ohio include a radon test as part of the inspection period, and Ohio's disclosure laws require sellers to report known radon issues.
Because of this, a radon test is one of the most common steps buyers and agents request before closing.
This is negotiated on a case by case basis, but the cost most often falls on the seller when a test comes back above the EPA's action level. Some buyers agree to split the cost or take a credit at closing instead.
We work directly with agents and buyers on both sides to get a system installed fast enough to keep the transaction on schedule.
Most standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover the cost of a radon mitigation system, since radon is considered a known, preventable hazard rather than a covered peril. A few insurers offer optional riders or separate policies, so it's worth checking with your provider directly.
The EPA sets its action level at 4 pCi/L, and recommends taking steps to reduce radon at or above that number. There is no level of radon exposure that is completely risk free, so some homeowners choose to mitigate even when their results fall below 4 pCi/L.
We recommend a follow up test within a few days of installation to confirm the system is working, and then a retest every two years after that to make sure levels stay low over time.
