In 2005, a European study and a North American study showed a direct link between lung cancer and radon exposure at home. These studies ended the debate about radon-related health problems as being mere occupational hazards. They established that being exposed to...
Every year, radon takes thousands of lives. It is estimated that 21,000 lung cancer deaths were due to prolonged radon exposure. According to the Surgeon General of the United States, radon is the second most common cause of lung cancer in the country. Radon is a...
Any house — old or new— could have a radon problem without the owners even knowing it. In fact, one in 15 homes across the country has a radon problem, with levels exceeding the safe limit of 4 pCi/L. If your area has a radon level that exceeds this limit, it’s of...
Are you selling a property in Anne Arundel County, Maryland? Don’t forget to schedule radon testing —and mitigation when necessary. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State of Maryland recommend having real estate properties for sale across the state to...
The real estate market in Annapolis and Severna Park, Maryland is very hot, with many residential properties often selling as soon as they are listed. Because of this, it’s understandable that many would want to close a deal and move into their new homes as quickly as...

We picked Atlantic Real Estate Services for a new sump pump and radon pump because Tommy the owner was the one who came to our house and did all the work. He was prompt and and reliable. His price was fair and all his work was excellent. We highly recommend him.

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.
