Recently, Airwiz Radon was tasked with enhancing an existing radon piping system in a home built in 1994. Armed with insights from a professional inspection report obtained during the home's purchase, the homeowners understood the importance of addressing radon levels promptly.

The house already had a radon piping system in place that was original to the construction. Recognizing the significance of this task, the homeowners turned to Airwiz Radon for their expertise.

This homeowner was monitoring the radon levels in his house with a radon monitor, which consistently read around 6 to 7 pCi/L.

Our task was to lower the radon levels to acceptable levels by installing a Sub-Slab Depressurization System to extract the radon gas from under the house.

It wasn't an easy job as the house was old with thick masonry walls that we had to core through in order to route the extraction pipes outside and vent the radon gas above the roofline.

We also had to core the concrete slab to create a point of extraction. Upon coring the floor, we had to dig an air pocket under the house, which was challenging because the house, built in the 1950s, had clay soil.

In the end, we were able to be achieve a beautifully installed radon mitigation system that is now lowering the levels to below 2.7 pCi/L, and the family is now breathing much safer air in their home.

On June 4, 2024, we received an urgent request for a radon measurement test in Gaithersburg, MD 20878.  A homeowner in the final stages of selling her house, was in desperate need of a radon measurement test to complete her real estate transaction. The deadline was fast approaching, and she  was running out of time.

She discovered our services through a referral from a friend, a previous customer who had praised our efficiency and professionalism. Knowing the importance of a timely test, we responded immediately and scheduled a same-day visit to set up the necessary equipment.

Upon arrival, we quickly assessed the situation and set up our state-of-the-art Continuous Radon Monitors (CRM) in the basement, where radon levels are typically the highest. The test required a minimum of 48 hours to ensure accurate results.

Over the next two days, our CRM equipment meticulously recorded the radon levels in the house knowing that any delay could potentially jeopardize the sale of her home.

As soon as the 48-hour testing period concluded, we returned to the home to retrieve the equipment and analyze the data. We timely compiled the findings into a comprehensive radon measurement report, ensuring it met all real estate transaction requirements.

The results showed that the radon levels were within safe limits, allowing her real estate transaction to proceed without any further complications; the pressure of the impending deadline had been lifted from her shoulders.

By providing timely and professional service, we were able to turn a potentially stressful situation into a smooth and successful experience.

This job not only highlighted our commitment to excellence but also reinforced our reputation as the go-to radon measurement service in Gaithersburg, MD.

With another happy customer, we continue to make a difference, one test at a time, ensuring the safety and satisfaction of homeowners and real estate professionals alike.

A customer from Silver Spring, MD, needed radon testing for a rental house to comply with Montgomery County's mandatory requirement starting July 1, 2023.

We were hired for this job thanks to a referral from another customer who was very satisfied with our service a few months earlier.

In Montgomery County, MD, landlords are required to begin testing their rentals, and this customer was somewhat uncertain about the process. We were glad to educate and explain that it's straightforward—all we needed were the renter's address and the landlord's information.

We promptly scheduled a suitable date for all parties involved and began the test on a Friday. The radon measurement process takes at least 48 hours, and we returned to pick up the equipment on Monday after 5pm to accomodate the tenant's work schedule.

The customer immediately received an AARST-compliant report, which they could forward to the county—job done. Since the radon levels at this property were low and below the EPA action level of 4 pCi/l, no further actions were necessary.

It was a pleasure to serve this landlord, who was also pleased with our high level of customer service and promptness.

This job was for a customer who had just bought a home and was concerned because the radon test resulted in high levels of radon.

According to her, she chose us because she liked the fact that we went to her house and gave her a thorough explanation of what we do and a firm price, whereas other companies only provided a starting price over the phone which could change when they actually visited the property.

We installed a mitigation system using the Sub-Slab Depressurization method, which extracts radon gas from under the house and exhausts it above the roofline. A unique challenge with this job was the fact that she doesn't have an unfinished area in her basement; the entire basement is finished. Therefore, we had to install the point of suction in the living area, requiring us to do a very clean and aesthetically pleasing construction. Additionally, there were lots of electrical wires that we had to be careful with, so we routed the pipe in a very skilled way.

The customer was very happy with the visual aspect of the job, the cleanliness afterward, and the new radon reading, which is now only 0.9 pCi/l.

We were called to address a radon gas problem in Rockville, MD, and the customer chose us over another contractor due to our more competitive price. The radon level before mitigation was 7.4 pCi/L.

The job presented some challenges due to limited space, requiring extensive planning before we could begin the radon mitigation system installation. Despite these difficulties, we successfully completed the installation with a great-looking and effective solution that resolved the radon issue in the house.

Although we used more supplies than usual for this job, we adhered to our initial estimate. We never upcharge; our estimates are always firm and transparent.

A customer in Bethesda, MD, called because his Radon Mitigation System was noisy and causing disturbances during quiet hours of the night.

We scheduled an inspection visit to assess the problem. During our visit, we determined that the system, installed by another company, was incorrectly installed and did not meet code requirements.

We repaired the system to bring it up to code and installed a new fan, as the old one was failing and improperly installed.

After the repairs, the customer inspected the newly fixed system for noise and expressed his satisfaction. The new system is significantly quieter than the previous one and now meets all code standards.

This home was newly built and already had the pipes for the radon mitigation system installed to meet code.

However, the builder is not required to complete and activate the system.

As per code and AARST/Indoor Environments Association guidelines, we activated this system.

The job entails an inspection and custom installation of an appropriate radon fan to extract gas from under the house. The fan must be installed in the attic or located outside the conditioned space of the house, as required by code.

Downstairs, where the pipe penetrates the concrete slab to create an extraction point, we installed a manometer to allow the customer to monitor the system pressure.

We received a request to inspect a house in Chevy Chase, MD, to assist the homeowners with an old radon mitigation system installed by another company.

Both the husband and wife were present to receive us. They took us downstairs to see the radon mitigation pipe, and we quickly realized they had a problem with the u-tube manometer that is part of the radon mitigation system.

The broken u-tube manometer is essential for every radon sub-slab depressurization system, as it allows the customer to monitor system operation by measuring the pressure inside the radon gas extraction pipe.

After a thorough inspection of the entire system, we concluded that the only issue they had was with the manometer, and we promptly replaced it at no additional cost to the customer.

Most homes have a sump pit, with or without a sump pump. Many people don't realize that this is a significant entry point for radon gas, and it needs to be covered and airtight sealed for a radon mitigation system to work effectively.

While installing a radon sub-slab depressurization system in Germantown, MD, we ensured that a new sump pit cover was installed to seal the foundation for the depressurization system to function properly.

We used a custom-cut plexiglass lid to cover the sump pit, allowing the homeowner to inspect the sump pit and pump as needed.

The customer had recently purchased their new home, only to discover high radon levels in the basement during a routine inspection.

After being called for an estimate, we conducted a thorough site assessment and quickly realized the installation would be challenging due to limited access for routing the radon pipe to the outside of the house.

Given the presence of a crawl space, we were able to route the pipe beneath the house, then run it up the exterior wall to safely discharge the radon above the roofline.

The installation was completed successfully. The radon mitigation system is highly effective and not only performs well but also has a clean, professional appearance.
