Radon Testing and Remediation in Berks County

The cancer-causing gas, radon, has a strong presence in the United States, with Pennsylvania being among the states having high levels of radon. "Because of the state's geology, Pennsylvanians are at risk of exposure to high radon levels," said DEP Secretary Patrick McDonnell. About 40% of the homes in Pennsylvania are believed to have elevated levels of this deadly, radioactive, colorless, odorless gas. In Berks County, the average indoor radon levels, as determined by radon test results from Air Chek, Inc, is 10 pCi/L while the average national indoor radon level in the United States is 1.3 pCi/L. Hence, the increased necessity of radon testing and remediation in Berks County.

In Berks County as elsewhere, incorrect radon testing and ineffective remediation can lead to you living under a false impression of the radon levels in your home or office. Choosing an experienced firm that offers skilled professional services, is of vital importance. Go through our guide below to select the right firm offering radon testing and remediation in Berks County.

1. Try to get references of people with first-hand experience. This is the most trusted way of zeroing in on the firm that suits your needs. However, also do your research online.
2. Make sure the firm is insured and their Liability and Worker’s Compensation insurance certificates is not outdated and has the proper coverage.
3. On the pricing front, before hiring a firm that offers radon testing and remediation in Berks County, ensure the following:

• The radon contractor provides a firm price to test radon and install a radon mitigation system. An inability to do so may indicate a lack of experience.
• The rate offered by the firm is not unreasonably lower thanthe average market cost,  as it might stem from low paid or unlicensed technicians and low-quality parts. 
• The rate offered is not too high as it can indicate lack of experience, resulting in an unnecessarily high quote. 
• You sign a contract with the rates mentioned before hiring

4. Ensure the firm has relevant licensing. Although there is not one national licensing program that is mandatory, try to choose a firm that is certified by the NRPP. AARST-NRPP professionals adhere to ANSI American National Standards, and must undergo training, testing and continuing education to retain their certification.

5. Last but not the least, make sure the firm you shortlist offers warranties on the products they install and guarantee on the services they offer.
