Radon Contractors in Rockford, Illinois
Radon testing and mitigation system installation..
Rockford is northern Illinois's major city with extensive older housing stock and strong renovation demand.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into homes through foundation cracks, gaps, and porous concrete. It's the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, and the EPA recommends mitigation for any home testing at or above 4 pCi/L. Radon mitigation typically involves installing an active soil depressurization (ASD) system — a vent pipe and fan that draws radon from beneath the foundation slab and exhausts it above the roofline. Professional radon mitigation systems reduce levels by 80–99% and cost a fraction of what most homeowners expect. Testing is inexpensive and should be done in the lowest livable level of the home.
What to look for when hiring a radon contractor
- ✓Look for NRPP or NRSB certified radon measurement and mitigation professionals.
- ✓Ask about pre- and post-mitigation testing to verify the system achieves levels below 4 pCi/L.
- ✓Confirm the system includes a U-tube manometer or alarm to indicate fan operation.
- ✓Get a written warranty guaranteeing radon levels will remain below 4 pCi/L.
