In 2005, a European study and a North American study showed a direct link between lung cancer and radon exposure at home. These studies ended the debate about radon-related health problems as being mere occupational hazards. They established that being exposed to...

Any house — old or new— could have a radon problem without the owners even knowing it. In fact, one in 15 homes across the country has a radon problem, with levels exceeding the safe limit of 4 pCi/L. If your area has a radon level that exceeds this limit, it’s of...

I can't say enough about how great it was to work with Atlantic Radon. They were able to come out the same day I contacted them for an estimate, which was in line with the others I received. However, it was their service which sold me on them. They were friendly, prompt, and very understanding of our chaotic household, since we're in the middle of a move. They even offered to speak to our buyers if they had any questions after the fact. Can't recommend them enough for radon mitigation.

Atlantic's Tech, Daniel, was extremely thorough and professional. He wore shoe covers and double-masked when he came in, which I appreciated. Also, the original goal was to replace an old radon fan in my basement that was attached to a pipe coming out of my sump pump. He advised me that it made more sense to install the new fan in the attic in order to create negative pressure which was better in case of any issues in the piping. That made a lot of sense to me. He also left a nice pressure indicator on the pipe down in my basement so that I could see that the fan was working. Finally, he explained everything to me before he left. Terrific service.
Incidentally, my experience setting an appointment was terrific too. The owner of the business patiently explained what to expect, and was very friendly/non-pushy. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat.

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.
