Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into homes from the soil underneath. You can't see it, smell it, or taste it. Long-term exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. after smoking, according to the EPA. Northeast Ohio sits in EPA Zone 1, the highest-risk zone, which is why testing matters here more than in most of the country.
Most single-family homes in Northeast Ohio fall in the $1,200 to $2,000 range for a complete mitigation system. Final pricing depends on your foundation type (slab, basement, crawl space), the system route, and whether anything in the basement needs to be worked around. We give you a fixed written quote before any work starts. No hidden fees.
Most installations are completed in a single day, usually 4 to 6 hours. We arrive, install the system, seal foundation entry points, mount the fan and manometer, and walk you through how it works before we leave. Larger or more complex homes occasionally need a second visit, but that is rare.
We cover seven Northeast Ohio counties: Cuyahoga, Summit, Lake, Lorain, Stark, Ashtabula, and Erie. That includes Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, Lakewood, Beachwood, Rocky River, Akron, Mentor, and most of the surrounding suburbs. Not sure if you're in our area?

The EPA's action level is 4.0 pCi/L (picocuries per liter); at or above this number, mitigation is recommended. The EPA also notes that no level of radon is fully "safe," and many health authorities suggest considering mitigation between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L as well. After mitigation, most homes drop below 1.0 pCi/L. Your post-install report shows the exact reading
