Safeguarding Your Home From Radon in Kalamazoo Michigan

Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that poses a significant risk in homes and buildings throughout Kalamazoo Michigan. In Kalamazoo, where radon levels can vary, testing and having a radon mitigation system installed can be vital to the quality of the indoor air you are breathing in your home. The EPA has said that (1) pCi/L of radon in your home is equivalent to smoking 2.5 cigarettes a day. This is why it is extremely important to choose a radon mitigation company that is not only has the proper licensing and certifications but has the expertise and ability to get your radon levels as low as possible. 

 

With that said what are a few things the typical homeowner should consider when looking for a quality radon mitigation company in Kalamazoo, MI? First, Kalamazoo homeowners should look for a company that is licensed with the state of Michigan and fully insured. Michigan requires that all companies providing services such as alterations or construction need to have at a minimum a Michigan Contractors license or Michigan Builder's License. There are a lot of contractors out there that do not carry a state license and this could be problematic down the road. Second, be sure to use a radon mitigation company that is NRPP certified in both mitigation and measurement of radon. These are not mandatory in the state of Michigan, but I would highly recommend using a radon mitigation company that is certified and follows the proper guidelines. Third, use a company that has good solid reviews, has a professional website detailing all or a majority of the work they have completed. Look for consistency in the work photos as some companies use photos of work not even completed by their own team. Reviews and prior successes are important when choosing a radon reduction company as it shows proven commitment to a job well done. Fourth, when looking into radon mitigation contractors be sure to use a radon contractor or company that comes to your house prior to any work to inspect and provide a full proposal. There are a lot of radon companies that service the Kalamazoo Michigan and surrounding areas that only give bids over the phone. These companies are just trying to provide the lowest price and likely not guaranteeing the lowest possible radon levels. They also may miss details that aren't communicated or known during a phone call and will have to upsell or not complete the job as needed. Lastly, look for a quality driven radon company that is interested in lowering your levels as low as possible. These companies likely will not compete on price, but will always talk about lower radon levels, good quality indoor air quality, and good warranties covering their work. Use a company that has multiple solutions and ways of eliminating additional risk.
