The Radon Mitigation Process

Choosing the right radon mitigation contractor is a critical decision. As a fully-licensed radon mitigation company in the state of Illinois & Indiana, PROFESSIONAL RADON SYSTEMS stands out for its professional approach, strong reputation, and commitment to clear communication. We pride ourselves on our dedication to keeping your homes and businesses safe from radon. However, please note, in adherence to Illinois state law, we maintain ethical practices by ensuring that the same company does not conduct both radon mitigation and pre/post-mitigation testing to avoid conflicts of interest. This distinction helps ensure unbiased results, demonstrating our commitment to your health and safety above all else. Trust PROFESSIONAL RADON SYSTEMS for your radon mitigation needs.

Our License and Certifications

Once you’ve selected PROFESSIONAL RADON SYSTEMS for your radon mitigation we will begin with a “quote request.”

Our quoting process includes collecting information about you and your property. This information can be collected over the phone. Once we have a completed quote request form, we arrange an onsite inspection.

NOTE: If your radon mitigation is associated with a real estate transaction, it is important to provide us with your target closing date so we can prioritize our schedule to ensure mitigation is completed before the closing.

Once an onsite inspection is completed, we combine our findings with the information provided to produce a comprehensive radon mitigation system proposal. The proposal must be approved, by the owner of the property, prior to scheduling your mitigation service. Mitigation proposals are promptly emailed to prevent delays. A proposal is typically delivered within one business day after the onsite inspection.

Once we have the approval to proceed, we will schedule your mitigation project. If you have an impending real estate closing, we will expedite your installation to help ensure you meet your target date.

A typical radon mitigation system is installed within a day, depending on various factors. Occasionally, more complex installations may take 2 or more days. That information will be provided at the proposal stage.

Before PROFESSIONAL RADON SYSTEMS technicians arrive to install the radon mitigation system, it is important to clear the workspace(s) so our technicians have unencumbered access and ample room to implement the system, with crawl space areas included. Note: All crawl spaces must be completely cleared.

You or a designated adult must be onsite to provide access to our mitigation technicians. PROFESSIONAL RADON SYSTEMS technicians will make multiple trips, in and out of the house throughout the day. If you have pets or small children, you should arrange to keep them safe and away from workspaces.

Once the system is installed and validated to be working as intended, technicians will review the system and how it works with you. They will provide instructions for monitoring the system and show you the location of the system’s performance meter called a manometer.

Lastly, technicians will remove any debris, job site materials, and tools from the site. While every attempt is made to leave the area spotless you may find slight dust remnants.

Payment in full is expected upon completion of installation.

After your mitigation system has been running for a full 24 hours, it is recommended you have the property re-tested.

PROFESSIONAL RADON SYSTEMS mitigation equipment carries a 5-year warranty on both material and labor. This warranty is also transferrable should the home be sold during the warranty period.

NOTE: Not all contractors offer the same warranty. This is another way PROFESSIONAL RADON SYSTEMS stands out above the rest.

Properties should be re-tested for radon gas every two years or any time significant changes are made to the property including a new roof, new windows, HVAC system changes, or after any remodeling or home additions. Such changes can impact the performance of the radon mitigation system.
