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.

Besides the radon pump and plumbing, Tommy did a great job installing a plastic membrane over our dirt crawlspace. The system lowered typical radon counts from 11 to 1, below 4 is considered healthy. The plastic membrane knocked down the humidity in the basement which helps an area prone to mold. He was on time, respectful and priced competitively.

We are in a new construction home and did a couple radon tests that came back ~20 pCi/L. We asked Atlantic Real Estate Services to install a Radon Mitigation system, which went really well! The latest test showed less than ~0.8 pCi/L.
* Scheduling - It was really easy with scheduling time for the initial walkthrough, a day to install the system, and follow up. Tommy worked around our schedule and always messaged shortly before arriving.
* Communication - He made sure we understood each step of the process and its purpose as he went along.
* Attention to Detail - He made it blend into the house aesthetics and even filled in a few spots the builder missed.
* Cost - It's within the range we expected for this type of system. And definitely worth the quality.
I would definitely recommend this company.

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.
