Radon questions Boca Raton homeowners actually ask us.
Fifteen years, 10,000 homes, and thousands of conversations later — here are the answers we give every day.
What is radon and why should Boca Raton homeowners care?+
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas produced by the natural decay of uranium in soil and rock. It's the #1 cause of lung cancer in non-smokers per the EPA. Boca Raton's porous limestone bedrock and slab-on-grade construction make testing important for every home in Palm Beach County.
Is radon really a problem in Florida?+
Yes. While the EPA's national map shows Florida in Zone 3 (lowest predicted risk), thousands of individual Florida homes — including many in Boca Raton — test above the 4.0 pCi/L action level. Predicted risk and actual measurement are very different things; testing is the only way to know.
How much does radon testing cost in Boca Raton?+
Our short-term residential test starts at $149. Real estate transaction tests with expedited turnaround and licensed chain-of-custody are $199. Commercial and multi-unit pricing is quoted per project.
How much does radon mitigation cost?+
Most single-family Boca Raton homes fall between $1,295 and $2,495 for a complete mitigation system installation, including post-mitigation verification testing. Larger or complex layouts may cost more. We give written flat-rate quotes with no surprise fees.
How long does mitigation installation take?+
Most residential installs are completed in 4–6 hours. You don't need to leave the home, and there's no interior demolition.
Is radon mitigation guaranteed to work?+
Yes. Every system we install is guaranteed to reduce your radon level below 4.0 pCi/L, verified by an independent post-mitigation test. If it doesn't, we adjust the system at no cost until it does.
How loud is a radon mitigation fan?+
Whisper quiet — typically 35–45 dB at the exterior, roughly the sound of a modern refrigerator. Fans mount on the exterior of your home and are barely audible from inside.
How much electricity does the system use?+
The typical radon fan draws 60–90 watts continuously — under $8/month on FPL rates. It runs 24/7 for the life of the system.
How long does a radon mitigation system last?+
The pipe network lasts indefinitely. The fan typically runs 15–20 years in South Florida conditions. Our systems carry a lifetime workmanship warranty and a 5-year manufacturer warranty on the fan.
Do I need to retest after mitigation?+
Yes. EPA and ANSI/AARST guidelines recommend a post-mitigation test within 24 hours to 30 days of activation, and every 24 months thereafter. Post-mitigation testing is included with every install we perform.
Will radon mitigation affect my home's resale value?+
Positively. A documented, working radon mitigation system is a selling feature — it signals that the home has been proactively cared for. Homes with elevated radon and no mitigation often lose deals or require last-minute credits.
Do you offer financing?+
Yes. We offer 0% APR for 12 months and low-fixed-rate plans up to 84 months through GreenSky® and Synchrony. Soft credit check to qualify. Payments start at $59/month for a typical mitigation system.
Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes. Florida Radon Business License #RB-1234, Certified Building Contractor #CBC1258997, $2M general liability, workers' comp, and NRPP & NRSB certified for both measurement and mitigation.
What areas do you serve?+
Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Highland Beach, Deerfield Beach, Parkland, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, and the surrounding Palm Beach and Broward County communities.
Do you handle commercial radon projects?+
Yes. Our commercial team handles multifamily, schools, hotels, medical, and Class A/B office properties under ANSI/AARST MALB and MAMF protocols.
