An airborne element that is both odorless and colorless like oxygen, Radon isn’t really as safe as you’d think. So, how is mitigating radon possible? Now, you may ask if there is a cause for concern breathing in something that you cannot see? While this may be true in...
Having a high radon gas reading at your home does not mean you cannot sell or have it rented. Numerous proven processes can lower radon gas levels, and make your home safe for people to live in. In addition to traditional radon remediation practices, there are a few...
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers and the second-leading cause of cigarette overall. As a naturally occurring radioactive gas, eliminating Radon is impossible but you can reduce Radon in the home. It is formed when either uranium, thorium, or...
Various reliable techniques exist for lowering radon levels in homes. Improvement in radon mitigation systems has come to the point that any home can be fixed by a certified radon inspector. It is estimated that 6% or one out of 15 homes nationally in the United...
Radon exposure imposes a risk of causing lung cancer. Although radon cannot be eliminated, having a lower radon level at home lowers the risk of having lung cancer. Radon level is measured in the air using the unit “picocuries of radon per liter of air,”...
A usual category of houses is called slab-on-grade. These are houses that do not have a basement or crawl space beneath them, but rather they were built on top of a concrete slab. This is a construction strategy applicable where the house is located on a bedrock or a...
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!

We had excellent experience with Atlantic Radon. Our house has several slabs and several structural complications that made it a non-standard case. We initially contacted a different company and were told that given our challenges, low levels of radon would not be guaranteed. Luckily, we then found Atlantic Radon. Tommy and Dan spent days studying the architectural drawings of our house to create a customized solution for us. The solution they came up with was creative and worked wonderfully. They spent extra time on designing a custom solution and extra time on installation. They also stand by their work and guarantee performance. We are super happy to have found Atlantic Radon!

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.

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.
