We just wanted to thank you not only for the great work you did with our sump pump but for also being one of the best contractors we have ever had the pleasure to work with. You were honest, open, nice, trustworthy and you didn't inflate your prices like others may have done with a couple who knew very little about sump pumps! Mike just said the other day that it was worth every penny! The sump pump turns on half as much as it used to and even when we are downstairs, it is so very quiet! We appreciate you and your work!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT RADON SOLUTIONS:
"Radon Solutions recently provided us with a solution to our radon problem. Andy provides a courteous and high quality service and provides you with a good understanding of the radon mitigation process. Our situation required a creative pipe routing solution. Andy worked with me to provide a cleanly routed system. Our radon levels were quite high at 18.6 pCi/L. After system installation, our level is 0.3 pCi/L - that's right, a reduction from 18.6 to just 0.3 pCi/L. Besides the obvious health risk benefit, this system provides our family of five with the peace of mind that our radon problem has been solved."
Tom Theobald, Mankato, MN
"We are extremely pleased. Our radon has gotten as low as 0.5. What a relief that we won't have to excavate the crawlspace. You left everything so neat that we wouldn't have even known you were here. I would and have already recommended you to others. I am so glad I picked you to do the job. You and your assistant were a pleasure."

It tested with an average level of 8.4, which is much higher than desired. After having the radon reduction system put into service, the average level dropped to 1.8, which is a very good level.
Radon Solutions was recommended to us for radon remediation work. We were pleased with this company. It took one day of work to have the system ready, and the two gentlemen that came to our home were both personable and thorough in their work. We would recommend Radon Solutions very highly. "
