Radon Mitigation

If you have your home tested and our technicians find that there are high concentrations of radon gas present, there are a variety of solutions that we can help you implement to fix the problem.

While you may not know it, radon is a dangerous, cancer-causing, radioactive gas that could be lurking in your home. The scary thing about radon is that you can’t see, taste, or smell it, even when it’s present at higher concentrations.

What is Radon?

Radon forms naturally as a result of the decay of radioactive elements like uranium. This radioactive, odorless gas is present in soil and rocks. It can get indoors via air and water.

Continuous exposure to radon puts you and your family at risk of inhaling radon progeny, a product of radon breakdown. It could attach to small particles and dust, making it easy to inhale. The radiation from the exposure could cause damage to your DNA.

What is a Radon-Resistant Home?

A radon-resistant home ensures that you and your family won’t have to worry about radon exposure. Atlantic Real Estate Services offers a system that includes all essential elements of mitigating radon. You can be confident that every aspect of your home will be checked and protected from the harmful effects of radon.

Sealing and Caulking — openings in the foundation floor must be sealed to prevent gas entry from the soil.
Gas-Permeable Layer — if your home has slab-on-grade foundation or casement, a gas-permeable layer keeps the gas underneath the property and allows it to move freely. Properties with crawlspace foundations don’t need this layer.
Junction Box — often placed in the attic, this electric box makes it easier to install vent fans.
Plastic Sheeting — this is place over the gas-permeable layer to ensure that soil gas won’t enter your home. You can also put plastic sheeting on your crawlspace.
Vent Pipe — a vent pipe safely gets radon gas out of your home. It runs from the gas-permeable layer through the roof.

Why Should You Check for Radon?

There is no other way to find out if your home has high levels of radon but to test it. Radon testing and remediation are essential, especially if the property has never been checked. Furthermore, you should test for radon if you’re selling or buying a new property.

Any home can have an undetected radon problem — Old and new residential properties are at risk of radon exposure.
Your Health is at Stake — Exposure to radon and inhaling air with radon increases your risk of developing lung cancer. It’s estimated that about 21,000 lung cancer cases are related to radon exposure.
Experts recommend it — The United States Environmental Protection Agency recommends assessing residential properties for the presence of this harmful gas in indoor air. If you’re buying a new property, it’s best to ask the seller of their test results. If you’re selling, make sure to provide all necessary information pertaining to testing and your radon mitigation system to your buyers.

How to Check for Radon?

Short-term or long-term testing could be done to your home, depending on your needs. We could use passive and active devices in testing the levels of radon in your home.

Radon and Environmental Testing

A short-term test often runs between 2 and 90 days, depending on the type of testing device that your radon inspector will use. A long-term test would last for more than 90 days.

Between the two types of tests, the long-term test will be the one to show the property’s average annual radon level. It could also help confirm any results from short-term tests.

What to Do if Radon Levels in Your Home is High?

Should the results show high levels of radon in the property, take immediate action to fix the problem. If you’ve owned the house a while, it means you’ve been exposed to harmful gas for a long time. Your risk of lung cancer increases for every moment that you let pass.

Radon Mitigation

Radon mitigation is the process of reducing levels of the harmful gas in your property. Protect your family’s health by choosing certified radon technicians like Atlantic Real Estate Services to do the work for you. We provide a performance warranty to ensure that you’re getting the best radon mitigation system available.

Remember, when it comes to your family’s health, you shouldn’t take any risks.

Keep your home safe and your family healthy through a reliable radon mitigation system. Here at Atlantic Real Estate Services, we’ve made mitigating radon our business. We’re a team of certified radon inspectors and have years of experience in home inspection.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Atlantic was nearly $200 less than another estimate I received for a radon fan installation (I already had a passive system in my house). Had an appointment within a few days of calling. Austin was our tech. Very professional and great to work with. Did a great job. System is working perfectly. Highly recommend.

Excellent service! My personal RadonEye monitor detected an immediate drop in radon levels. Pressure gauge was installed on PVC pipe for visual confirmation now and in the future. Very happy with the results ;

Atlantic Radon (AR) was incredibly great to work with.

They installed a radon system in my home in SEPT 2022. AR was incredibly responsive to my calls and questions, and promptly scheduled me for installation. Pricing was also fair, based on the current market (and even beat many other companies).

They were onsite at 0800 and were done by 1200 the same day. The technician was incredibly polite, patient, and knowledgeable. They also use gutter downspout, which looks better than the standard PVC many others use. The fan equipment they use is incredibly quiet (I seriously don't even notice it running), and the install was clean.

I highly recommend them for your radon install!

Thomas and his associates did an amazing job installing our radon removal system. I highly recommend Atlantic Radon to everyone. They are the best and managed to accomplish what one of their competitors could not. Virtually no radon is detectable!

This company is outstanding. They would not stop until I was 100% satsified, and they answer every one of my million questions.

AtlanticRadon made something we had been dreading undertaking very easy and seamless. They installed a radon mitigation system and crawl-space vapor barrier, and worked with us to find the best placement for the systems. The job was carried out quickly and very professionally. I definitely recommend this company, and addressing any radon issue sooner than later. The peace of mind alone from knowing my family’s health is protected is worth the money.

Great company. Very responsive and professional. Scheduling was easy. Our radon levels were very high and are now easily under control. I highly recommend using Atlantic Radon and other companies should take note.

I had Atlantic Radon perform a 48 hour Radon house test and also replace my Radon circulation fan. They were on time, professional, friendly and took the time to answer all my many questions. I plan on having them back to replace a sump pump. I would highly recommend then them.

I used them for a radon system to be installed. They show up on time and was all very courteous.

I contacted Atlantic Radon about replacing a radon fan. They came out the next day to survey what the issue was and scheduled an appointment for the next day. Tommy informed me that the radon fan was out of compliance with state codes and would have to be moved to the attic from the basement. Tommy and Zack installed an electrical outlet in the attic before they installed the radon fan. As they removed the radon fan from the basement they found out that the sump pump needed to be replaced. Since they did not have a sump pump on the truck they returned 2 days latter and took care of that problem. Tommy and Zack were very professional, explained the process for both jobs, very polite and cleaned up the areas they were in. I would highly recommend them for any radon mitigation system work. Very affordable.

We hired Atlantic Radon to do mitigation work after finding high levels of radon in our Annapolis basement. Working with them was great!

Every member of this organization was an absolute professional! This is the business that I would continue to consult and hire for all my Radon testing and remediation needs! If you're a first-time buyer or landlord and need Radon remediation, Tommy's the guy!

If there were six stars, I'd give this business a 6. No one, and I mean no one, gives service and stands behind their work like these guys anymore. Our radon readings were off the charts: 23+. Tommy and his crew came out and installed a standard radon mitigation system, and it didn't get the job done. Tommy came back out and spent half a day evaluating our home to come up with additional steps. 2 fan upgrades, lots of new piping, at least 2-3 more home visits, and we're well below 4. At no time did he ask us for one additional dime. Hire these folks if you want to know what it's like to work with someone who really takes care of their customers.

I had a radon inspection done before moving into my home and the levels came back quite high. After Atlantic Radon worked their magic, the levels had fallen to almost 0! They completed the work quickly and right on the quoted estimate. They know their stuff, are very easy to work with, and I would highly recommend them for your radon mitigation needs!!

Dan Brodsky and his partner Zack did an amazing job figuring out our radon problem. They installed the system quickly and cleanly . Looks great and works amazingly. I was having high radon level readings in an upstairs bedroom and Dan kept coming back to our house and re testing with different types of equipment until he found the solution to the problem . Very very kind person , extremely easy to work with, does a great job all around, and really explains everything in detail before , during and after. I would only count on these guys for my radon issues. I never met Zack in person ( because I work a lot) but thank you also for all your work and help!

I expected to pay a lot more for my system and honestly these guys’ pricing is very very fair and reasonable and they will give you a discount also if your local to them which helped a lot !

Truely awesome guys and awesome company !
