"From calling for info to getting booked, everything was clearly explained and we felt very prepared for the appointment. We were able to get booked just a few days after we called. Quoted price was about $1100, and we were happy to move forward with their quote versus others we called. Install was great. Nick arrived and got right to work, listened to concerns about placement, and walked me through everything as he was planning to go. Measured thrice, cut once! From beginning to end, with a few snags in the process due to stucco exterior and numerous utilities packed into the space he was working, he was done in just over 3 hours. Impressive work, and very professional. Guarantee to get numbers for radon below 4.0, and 5 year warranty for the fan. Ended up having to upgrade to a bigger fan due to the hard ground under the slab, and that made the price go up a bit, but still within our budget. Only complaint is that we weren't made aware that this was a possibility going into the appointment, but can't say we didn't want the upgrade--without it our system wouldn't have be adequate to mitigate. Happy so far with everything, and looking forward to the free test kit in a week to see how much better we are in readings. Finished basement means we'll be down there a lot, so we were very happy with how everything went so far, and look forward to living in a safer house thanks to SWAT!"

"I accepted a bid and work was scheduled for end of June. At the quote Justin told me the job would likely be done early. I was called and the job was pushed back a week. Then that date came, and they tried to push me to July 24. A parent had surgery that day and I told them that didn’t work. So they moved it up to July 10. July 8 & 9th two people told me I was still on the books. Day of the foreman called me and canceled the job. They again tried to push me to July 24th. After a 3rd cancellation I asked for my down payment back. They told me it’s not their fault. That the foreman was in the hospital with cancer. Then why was I told the day before I was good to go? And why did the foreman personally call me to cancel if he was hospitalized? I was then told by 3 different people I would not be charged the 10% cancellation. When my refund check came, they withheld the money. I called about it and left voicemails. All were ignored. Finally got someone on the phone who said he would look into it and call me back. That’s hadn’t happened. This company is a bunch of liars and crooks."

Installation and service of HVAC, plumbing and roofing systems throughout southern Minnesota. Over 40 technicians offer 24/7 emergency service through out our market area. Maintain offices Mankato, Minneapolis and Rochester, MN. Been a leading provider of HVAC and roofing services for over 100 years.
"The person who rated Schwickerts with a 5 star review because they make sure "the customer is satisfied" is obviously had a different experience than we did. They installed new roofs on our association townhomes and during installation, somehow dislodged several unit's furnace vents as well as someone's water heater vent. When Fall rolled around and furnaces were turned on, one customer had water dripping in her attic and down into her home. They came back several times. Couldn't find anything wrong. On third trip, the employees didn't bother looking in the attic; they simply cut holes in her ceiling and found what they said was a disconnected vent to her furnace. They told her she was lucky they found the problem, because the next step was going to be having to go up on her new roof and cut into it. Unfortunately, after they left, water continued to leak into her home. She could not allow the water to continue to damage her ceiling, so she had someone else look in the attic...and they discovered the furnace exhaust had been disconnected in more than one location, and the water heater vent had been disconnected as well. SCHWICKERT HAD THE NERVE TO SEND THIS PERSON A BILL FOR OVER $400 DOLLARS "INVESTIGATE THE CONDENSATION ISSUE" (TO CUT THE HOLES IN HER CEILING), EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY THEIR SHINGLING INSTALLATION CREW AND NOT CORRECTED. Their customer service for the issues WE HAD after installation was extremely POOR."

You can buy DIY radon test kits from a home improvement store and conduct radon testing, but these tests are often inaccurate. No matter the result, you should supplement DIY testing with professional radon detection and analysis. DIYers only have access to passive radon tests, which aren’t as reliable as active tests that professionals use. Plus, it’s very easy for DIYers to make mistakes during testing, leading to inaccurate results. If you’re moving into a new home, have concerns about radon, or are due for an updated test, hire a professional.
Radon testing costs depend on whether you hire a professional radon inspector or DIY test. You can expect to pay $150 to $800 to hire a local radon inspector, and home-testing kits range in price from $15 to $250 from home improvement stores. However, it’s best to trust a professional inspector with this task to ensure accurate results. Plus, if you have radon in your home, your testing company can develop a mitigation protocol to keep you and your family safe from the dangerous gas, so it’s well worth the money to hire a professional.
If radon is present in your home, you can expect to pay around $1,000 for a radon mitigation system or between $780 and $1,250 in most cases. The exact price will depend on the severity of the radon leak, home size, and the protocol the radon specialist develops to remove radon from your home and keep it out. Your foundation type will also affect your radon mitigation system cost, as unfinished basements will cost about $4,600 to seal and ventilate, while crawl spaces without a foundation slab may need extra encapsulation, costing $1,500 to $15,000.
Yes, radon testing is absolutely necessary if you suspect the presence of this hazardous gas, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends testing for all homes in the country. Radon is a pervasive natural gas that can leak through your home’s foundation and seep into the living areas. Unfortunately, the gas is highly carcinogenic and is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon testing is crucial for keeping you and your family safe from harm, so hire a radon mitigation specialist to test your home if you suspect its presence in your home.
In most states, radon testing companies don’t need to be licensed or certified by the state, but the companies that analyze the test results and develop radon mitigation protocols do. You should choose a radon testing company that suits your needs, but before hiring a mitigation specialist, check our state licensing tool to make sure the company is properly certified.
