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.

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.
