According to health reports and governmental data, radon is the second biggest cause of lung cancer after cigarettes. EPA data says that radon alone is responsible for around 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year. Radon is hard to detect without proper inspection, and...
At present, radon poisoning has no known cure or treatment. In the event of radon poisoning, it is imperative that you limit your exposure to radon to the greatest extent possible. To prevent further lung damage and other symptoms from worsening, it is important to...

Whether you’re a home buyer or a seller, there are some things to consider about radon testing. Radon is an inert gas that’s hard to detect on your own. Since it’s odorless, it’s nearly impossible to check for traces of radon at home. You need...
Are you planning to get your home tested for radon? Great! Radon is a radioactive gas present in the atmosphere that can get trapped in the house when there’s an opening in the foundation. And that’s where radon testing comes in. Keeping the radon levels...
Atlantic Radon was great. Dan Brodsky and Zack spent 2 days installing a radon mitigation system, sump pump and plastic membrane in my crawlspace. Nice clean job, respectful guys, a pleasure to have at my house. Radon is now below 0.5, which is well below the EPA 4.0 cutoff. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Tommy is a consummate professional, a straight shooter, and an excellent communicator. He and his team (Austin did a lot of the on-the-ground work) were extremely quick, clean, and efficient in the install, solving some small engineering challenges on the fly. I came to Tommy with a bunch of questions about the systems they use and the results we could expect (our house in Annapolis was below the EPA limit prior to mitigation, but we hoped to get lower) and he was clear, deliberative, and in no way trying to sell me something as he taught me bits of his trade.
I will recommend Atlantic Radon to anyone in the area in need of a radon test, radon mitigation, or sump-pump repair and maintenance, and would trust them in any project they were involved in. Tommy, who has experience doing home inspection, was overall really knowledgeable and helpful, and connected us with local contractors for other projects before we move in. I really couldn't have been more pleased.

I couldn't be more pleased with the radon mitigation services performed by Tommy Hughes, the owner of Atlantic Real Estate Services. He fully explained what he would do, came on time, did what he promised and left the work place clean. I highly recommend using his services.

I have already recommended Atlantic Real State Services for radon mitigation services to several friends. I live in a single-family home in Howard County contacted several companies. Tommy was the only one who demonstrated the knowledge and interest to answer all my questions and explain the mitigation process. Also, Tommy was honest with his estimate to layout the work that needed to be done to get the best result within my budget 😊 Other companies proposed doing additional work that would have not made a lot of different in the result but increase the project cost by a lot!
We are very happy with the system and the results. Tommy worked hard to make sure the system was installed as discussed and it visually blends with the outside of the house. I highly recommend this company!
