Radon Mitigation Reston, VA

Medical professionals agree that radon is a dangerous gas. Since it’s colorless and odorless, it often goes undetected for years. Studies show that radon gas is responsible for over 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year in the US. However, lung cancer caused by exposure to radon gas takes between 5 and 25 years to develop.

Having a radon mitigation system installed in your home can help protect your family from these health problems. Our Radon Defense experts are trained and experienced in handling elevated radon levels. We apply custom solutions to Reston, VA homes and have affordable and efficient radon mitigation services.

When do you need a radon mitigation system?

Radon mitigation solutions are preceded by radon testing either by a professional contractor or using radon test kits. If the radon tests show the indoor levels of radon are above 4 picocuries per liter, you need a radon mitigation system.

Although there’s no safe level of radon, the EPA recommends the installation of radon mitigation systems for 4 pCi/L levels. Depending on the mitigation system and the professional hired, the concentration of radon in your home can reduce by 99%.

How to choose a radon contractor

What to consider in a radon-reduction system

The radon reduction system for your home depends on several things, including:

The initial indoor radon levels
Cost of installation
The size of your home
Type of foundation

Living in a home with a radon mitigation system

Like a chimney or a furnace, radon reduction systems require occasional maintenance. If you install an active system (fan-powered), check on the warning device regularly to ensure everything’s fine.

Usually, fans last about five or more years and need replacement or repair. The cost of fan replacement varies depending on the material and labor needed. Speak to Radon Defense experts to find out how much the repairs would cost. We recommend retesting your home every two years to confirm low radon levels.

Side note: you should never turn the radon fan off since the system’s efficiency depends on it.

For HRV systems, the filter should be cleaned regularly and replaced twice a year. Moreover, the vent taking air outside should be inspected for debris constantly.

We chose Radon Defense because of its quick response and fair pricing. Linda presented all the options for the Radon mitigation system with photos and clear prices. The technicians were efficient on the installation and let me know the progress of their work. The look of the installed system blends seamlessly with my house. Overall the experience is great and I would recommend them to others in the future. - 9/07/2024

There are many companies that promise things and don't deliver. This is surely NOT one of them. They told me exactly what to expect and what they could do for me. Eric and Nicolas came out to my house. Expected it thoroughly and went right to work. Prior to them rectifying the issue, our radon levels were off the charts. Now our radon levels are almost non-existent. I had one concern after about four months of having the radon pump placed in our home. I called Radon Defense and Paul answered immediately. Unbeknownst to me, my concern wasn't a concern at all and my radon levels were fine. My issue was were addressed immediately and Paul assured me that Radon Defense will be with my and my family forevermore..... So refreshing. - 9/03/2024

The installation crew was great to work with and the installation looks very good. The radon levels measured the day after the work completed decreased. Hoping that trend will continue. - 8/20/2024

Would recommend Radon Defense. Eric, who came to visit - educated us on its operation and provided valuable homeowner tips. Additionally, Linda, the phone representative, is kind and attentive. - 8/13/2024

David O.

I highly recommend Radon Defense. From my first call through final installation of a radon mitigation system, they were professional, courteous, patient, and never high pressure. I had to get approval from my homeowner's association, which slowed things down for me, but Radon Defense worked with me and were ready to install the system as soon as I got approval. On the day of the installation, the crew was careful and did a very professional installation and cleaned up the work area. They then walked me through the system, explaining how everything works and what I should look out for to make sure it continues to operate. Communication was always clear and prompt with everyone I interacted with. - 8/03/2024

Linda C.

Prior to moving into our residence, we reached out Radon Defense to do a radon inspection. I am so glad we did because our radon levels were sky high. I contacted Linda and she was wonderful — super nice, responsive and knowledgeable. We ended up also getting a mitigation system installed by the company (they offer various styles depending on preference and price point). Eric and Nicholas assisted with that and they were timely and kept me informed on progress. I’ve had such a pleasant experience with this company, and Paul was super helpful when I had follow-up questions as well. You won’t be disappointed if you go with this company! - 8/03/2024

The Radon Defense team was amazing. Their service was professional, prompt, and made an immediate difference in our basement. They installed a system in our house that required relocating a passive pipe. Eric did an excellent job informing us about the process, installing the system, and educating us about how it worked. Linda effectively communicated with us, giving us estimates and arranging a roofer and electrician to complete the job. I would highly recommend Radon Defense! - 8/03/2024

Zach D.

My experience from start to finish was great. I called and spoke with Paul, he helped guide me on the phone with options. The crew that arrived took their time finding the best spot for it it to work and the most aesthetically appealing as well. I would highly recommend them. Thanks - 6/03/2024
