01 / Know what you're breathing
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It forms as uranium in soil and rock breaks down, and it rises through the ground into homes through cracks, sump pits (the holes where basement pumps remove groundwater), and gaps around pipes. You can't see it, smell it, or taste it.
South-central Pennsylvania sits on geology that produces some of the highest radon levels in the country. Long-term exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer in people who have never smoked. The only way to know your level is to test.
The good news is that radon is fixable. A properly designed mitigation system reduces levels dramatically, usually within a day of installation, and keeps them low for years. In York County, 97 percent of follow up tests reported to the state after mitigation came in below the action level.

York County sits in EPA Radon Zone 1, the highest-potential category in the country. Testing and mitigation are available across the county, from the city to the Maryland line.

09 / Good questions
Straight answers to what York homeowners ask us most. Anything else, just ask.
All questionsThe EPA recommends fixing your home at 4.0 pCi/L (picocuries per liter, the unit radon is measured in) or above, and suggests considering it between 2.0 and 4.0. There is no level known to be completely safe, so lower is always better. We'll tell you exactly where your home sits.
Most short-term tests run 48 hours to a week. We place a continuous radon monitor, which gives an hour-by-hour reading, and you get the written result the day we pick it up. Long-term tests are available if you want a full-season picture.
Radon systems reported to the Pennsylvania DEP from York County had a median cost of $1,190 in 2025, and most homes pay $800 to $2,500. Your price depends on your foundation type, the size of the slab and where the pipe can run. After a short site visit you get a written price, and the post mitigation test is included. The estimate is free and there is no obligation. See radon mitigation costs in York, PA.
The fan is about as loud as a refrigerator and lives outside or in the attic. We route the pipe along a side or rear wall, keep the run straight and plumb, and seal every penetration. Most neighbors never notice it.
Yes. Buyers in York County routinely ask for a radon test, and a home with a mitigation system and a passing post-test removes a common reason for a deal to stall. We do real estate transaction tests with the fast turnaround an agreement of sale needs.
Usually one working day. The system starts reducing radon as soon as the fan is running, and we schedule the follow-up test a few days later to confirm the new level.
