Radon Mitigation is common in Naples, Ft Myers, Bonita Springs, Estero, Cape Coral and Marco Island, Florida.  Thousands of homes have been tested for elevated radon levels and many have had radon mitigation systems installed.  "In some areas one out of two homes have elevated radon". Companies that perform radon testing or radon mitigation must be certified by the Florida Department of Health.  Since the FL DOH does not require companies to have insurance to get their radon certification, consumers should require proof that the company they hire has insurance.

Radon Mitigation

What should I look for in a radon mitigation contract?     FL DOH

 

http://www.doh.state.fl.us/environment/community/radon/radonFAQ.htm

You need to find out several things in addition to the total cost of mitigation including taxes and permit fees if applicable:

·         Do I need to pay a deposit?, when is the final payment due?

·         How much time is needed to complete the work

·         Contractor agreement to obtain necessary permit and follow building codes

·         Statement that contractor carries liability insurance and is bonded and insured

·         A guarantee that the contractor will be responsible for damages and clean-up after the job

·         Details of warranties, guarantees, optional features, including acceptable resulting radon levels

·         Are warranties transferable if you sell your home

·         Description of what is expected of the homeowner before the work begins

 

What are some of the standard radon mitigation system requirements?

 
Florida Department of Health

http://www.doh.state.fl.us/environment/community/radon/radonFAQ.htm

"There are some basic requirements that all radon reduction systems should meet:

 

·         A radon reduction system must be clearly and visibly labeled

·         A warning device must be visible in order to alert owner if system stops working properly.

·         A follow up test must be done by an independent contractor no earlier than 24 hours after the mitigation system is installed. "

"All businesses and individuals providing radon services in Florida must be certified by the Florida Department of Health."

South Florida Radon Study

 
"The Florida Department of Health is conducting a study, funded by a United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant, to investigate the causes of elevated radon levels in mid and high-rise multi-family residences in Lee and Collier Counties." "If you have any questions regarding this study, or would like additional information to assist you in reaching a decision about participation, please contact this office at 800-543-8279 or 850-245-4288"    http://www.doh.state.fl.us/Environment/community/radon/
