"I would highly recommend caution if you are thinking about hiring Drymaxx. We bought a new house and 4 nights later our basement flooded in a big storm. We were unable to find a local company as there was a huge number of people needing service. Drymaxx put together a team to come up from Ohio to Indiana and it seemed like such a blessing at the time. However, their work put us in a potentially terrible situation. Upon arrival the operations director put forth a plan to remove baseboards and drill holes in the drywall to ensure proper dry out. We had pulled up our carpet to collect the padding and Drymaxx did nothing to remediate it besides leaving it rolled up wet and putting a couple blowers on it. Unsurprisingly, it was still wet 4 days later and they told my wife to check with another company to see if it was salvageable. They also did not drill holes in the drywall per their plan. When my wife inquired about it specifically, they assured her it would dry out just fine. After they left my wife was able to find a local company with availability to come in a look at the carpet. They were shocked it was left like that and removed it as it was unsalvageable. They took moisture readings and found a 79% humidity reading in the main room and moisture in the drywall. They had to cut out at least a foot of drywall all around the basement. Once the drywall was off, my wife was able to see visibly wet framing in several areas. Upon contacting the operations director of Drymaxx and sending pictures, he simply expressed surprise the drywall was moist and offered no follow up whatsoever. Then we recieved a bill for $8000 with ridiculous pricing like $1000 for baseboard removal which was a one man job that might take 2-3 hrs at most. The company that cleaned up their mess did a similar amount of work and only charged $2000 for everything. Drymaxx wanted 4 times that even though they did a poor job that could have led to a serious mold problem. I contacted drymaxx several times to work out a solution but the most they would come down was to $5000. Still two and a half times what the other company charged to clean up terrible work. We are contesting the bill and would highly recommend not hiring drymaxx for your project."

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.
