Updating this because Yelp had me in SF, CA....I am in Lockport, IL and have updated that in my profile - but not being reflected here. I have been a business owner for 30+ years and work with a lot of vendors and companies and I am not an easy grader. These guys were 100% amazing. They check all the boxes. Great communication - Check. (how many places these days can you contact the owner 12 hours per day by phone or text) Walk through for estimate - Check. Easy scheduling - Check. Very reasonable pricing - Check. They came out today and performed an amazing install. Attention to detail, work efficiently, cleaned up - it was 100% well done. I cannot recommend American Radon Systems enough. Yes, they were just that good!!! Thank you Bill and Jose - well done! read more

Great service. Highly recommended. Took roughly 4 hours. Our readings ranged from 7 on the second floor to over 10 in the basement. A few days after mitigation, levels were under 0.6, even in the corner of the basement farthest from the radon system. Under 0.2 upstairs. read more

American Radon Systems - Corner of Basement opposite Radon System. Previous level was over 10. - Environmental Abatement Near Me

I am not being hyperbolic when I say that this is the best company I have ever worked with for anything, ever. We tested for radon and though the level was not above 4.0 where the EPA would highly suggest (and probably enforce if they could) that a radon mitigation system be installed, it was reaching levels of 3.5 with overall averages of 2.5-2.7 and never going below 1.7 and this during the summer where radon levels measure lower than they do in winter months. Because there is no absolute safe level of radon exposure, and because we have an in-law living space in the basement where small children also spend a lot of time (their little developing lungs are even more vulnerable to radon exposure damage), we decided to get professional advice and were leaning toward installation of a reduction system. I tried reaching a company closer to our location, left several messages because they did not answer their calls, and sent a request for help on their website and no one ever contacted me. Finally I decided to call American Radon Systems. The owner, Bill, came to my home within hours of my first call. I was so relieved. He saw the readings I was getting on my radon monitor but did not try to sell me a thing because he wanted to make sure, first, that my older monitor was actually working correctly and recommended I purchase another reliable monitor because he was not wanting us to have to handle a non-existent issue. I appreciated that. We got the new monitor which was not very expensive and tested again. It was syncing up with the other one closely enough that we still decided to go through with the install. Bill is very knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and not pushy -- just straightforward, compassionate and easy-going. We scheduled 2 weeks out and continued to monitor. At one point we wondered if we were overreacting or if we should try other less expensive fixes like improving ventilation, looking for other leaks for radon entry, etc. because I misunderstood what he told me in our initial consultation and thought the procedure would be more invasive than it was, requiring cutting through remodeled spaces, etc., and contacted Bill on the very day the system was to be installed to communicate our reservations. He was so professional! He handled all of my concerns. They came to our home and were so courteous about taking care not to disrupt or dirty our space. They covered the floors, vacuumed all messes made, never left one speck of dirt or any garbage. Jose, the installation tech, was excellent, knowledgeable, diligent, efficient, and practically walked on cat's feet. We were afraid that the install on the outside of the house would be unsightly -- not at all. It blends right in. Anyway...I know this is long but I feel the entire process is important, and not just the final result. The final result: The radon system is basically silent and attractive. Our average radon levels are now measuring 0.8 and as I write this, the level is 0.6. The outside average is 0.4 so we're thrilled! Thank you, Bill and team. You're the best! read more

Bill who owns American Radon is a pure pleasure to work with. He came out to fix an issue with an encapsulated crawlspace I unfortunately hired another company to install. His prices was more than reasonable for the repairs. He put in a radon mitigation system to eliminate an odor coming up into the crawlspace. Did this too at a very reasonable price. Plus, he stands behind his work and is very accessible if you have questions, etc. I'd hire him again in a flash. read more

Bill and his team were great to work with. We recently bought a home and discovered radon levels were very high. We were able to negotiate with the buyers to provide a credit at closing to cover the cost, and Bill came out before we actually closed to scope out the project. He was quick to respond and very detailed. The day came for the work to be completed and it was smooth as can be. 5 stars for this group! read more

American Radon Systems - Environmental Abatement Near Me

American Radon Systems (ARS) did an excellent job all around, from the quote through to installation and clean up. We needed a new system installed after testing showed elevated levels in the basement. We received multiple quotes, but chose ARS based on positive reviews, excellent explanation, clear quotes, and direct, complete answers to all questions. I appreciate attention to detail, and Bill and his team delivered on that expectation. Bill was great getting the quote done, explaining all of the details, and answering all of my questions. Once we scheduled the work, Bill arrived on time (texted ahead to confirm exact time), and work progressed as we had discussed. No surprises in how things were installed, and everything was done well. Bill's team kept everything clean and neat (drop cloths, etc), and they cleaned up completely after the job was done. The quality of the work and materials met or surpassed all expectations. ARS did an excellent job quoting, installing, and finishing the job. I would highly recommend ARS! read more

American Radon Systems - Exterior view of the fan and pipe leading to the roof. - Environmental Abatement Near Me

Bill and his team at American Radon Systems did an incredible job on my mitigated system. Where other Radon companies looked at our home and saw a difficult install and either didn't reply back, or came up with solutions that likely wouldn't work (or be unsightly) Bill saw solutions and a path forward. They did an awesome, clean job on the install; you barely hear the system despite two suction points. They also rebuilt my deck where they needed to cut (which they didn't need to do), which really shows that they value doing quality work. But don't take my word for it! Take a look at the install, and the results well within the safe levels! While unrelated to the install, I personally found Bill to be a quality human being. I couldn't recommend this family owned business more! read more

See all

My place needed radon mitigation (something I didn't even know was a thing before learning I had elevated radon levels). American Radon Systems was able to give us a quote right away and even gave us some different options of how to install the mitigation system which was very helpful. Once we scheduled the installment, which they did within a week of providing the quote, my husband interacted with Bill who was very punctual, obviously knowledgeable, and very pleasant to work with. He was very respectful of the property and laid down floor covers and left the space as good as new. He even gave us some pointers for home-maintenance and practical ways to re-check radon levels. I highly recommend American Radon Systems for anyone needing any sort of radon mitigation or any other service they provide! read more

Bill did a fantastic job handling our radon mitigation. Our initial test came up at a very high level. Bill installed our radon mitigation system and is extremely thorough. We could not be happier or more grateful for his integrity, professionalism, and prompt response. We were also pleased that the person who retested our house told us, "You had Bill install your system?He's the best in the industry." That was great to hear, and after working with him, I have the highest confidence in Bill. I highly recommend American Radon Systems if you need this service! You will not be disappointed. read more

Techs were on time and very professional. The work is neat and clean. They hid the pipes up in the rafters in the basement so the ceiling can be finished by drop or flush panels. I'm very satisfied. No clean up on my part. Not a speck of dust. I highly recommend American Radon. Jack T in Shorewood read more

Bill and his team are super thorough and friendly! Confident in my new system installed in my brand new home. Family will be safe and sound!

The radon level in my basement tested slightly above EPA limits so I called for an estimate to fix the issue. Bill came out to my house and after inspecting our basement, he recommended we install a radon mitigation system. He explained everything that would be done, and he took the time to answer every question I had. The price was the best compared to other estimates I had received. The installation team showed up on time and left everything done and clean. I had the radon levels re-tested a few days later and the readings were well below EPA limits. They stood by their work just like they said they would. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again if I ever need help with any radon issue. Definitely recommend! read more

We recently had Bill install a Radon system at our home and it turned out great. We had a radon reading of 10 in our basement during inspection and the number was all the way down to 1.4 when we did our re-test after the system installation. As part of his system he uses a thicker white plastic in a crawlspace which ended up looking great and made us change our minds about additionally pouring concrete in our crawlspace, instead we are just going to leave the white plastic he installed. Pricing wise was not the cheapest option but Bill was up front about this when giving us a quote and in terms of quality we think it was worth the price especially now that we can remove pouring concrete from our to-do list. Would highly recommend Bill and his team to anyone needing a radon system installed. read more

From start to finish the whole process (quote, schedule & installation) was very convenient. They completed the installation of the system in a few hours with minimal disruption. I would recommend to anyone needing radon mitigation to go no further than contacting American Radon Systems. read more

American Radon Systems came as a recommendation when our house tested for elevated Radon levels in the basement. Bill came to the house to inspect what needed to be done. He provided an excellent solution based on the unique layout of our home and the price he quoted was fair. His crew, Mitch and Jose, showed up exactly when then said they would be to the house (on a Sunday no less). Their workmanship is top of line and when the work was done, they cleaned up and left the house as if they weren't even there. I would recommend American Radon Systems to anyone needing Radon mitigation work. Great people to work with. read more

Bill was quick to respond to my initial phone call . Needed system installed quickly due to sale of home , installed next week . They were professional while installing and I appreciated the runners they put down to keep wood floors clean. read more

Great company to work with! Bill was very knowledgeable. He walked through everything with me beforehand and gave me several options. Very responsive. I'd highly recommend. read more

Bill went above and beyond getting our radon down to very low levels. We bought a house that had high radon. A mitigation system was installed at the seller's expense but it was not pulling enough air to fully lower the radon levels. When we tried to contact the company that had installed the system they were unresponsive to multiple calls. Bill came out right away, assessed the issue, and was able to make a cheap fix when other companies were quoting us for a full system replacement. We wish the seller had used American Radon Systems from the beginning! Very satisfied and will happily use again should we need anything additional! read more

Bill did an amazing job on our radon mitigation system. My husband and I bought a house in New Lenox and it has a funky layout plan. He was able to put the system in flawlessly and have it be non intrusive outside or in our basement. He explained everything and was super great to work with. We couldn't recommend him more. Very affordable too. read more

Bill installed a radon mitigation system in our house last Friday. He was prompt, courteous, neat, and detailed. Before beginning work, he laid tarps across any first-floor surface he'd be carrying his equipment over to prevent dust and debris. After examining the area he'd be installing the mitigation system, he showed me where he'd be putting it, as well as pointed out a few small issues he'd noticed with our A/C units (excess noise, cables buried, and some settling of the dirt leading to potential for leaks in the basement) and some pointers on how to fix them. Upon completion, he showed me the system in working order, what I should check for regarding proper operation, and when to check. The bill was exactly as quoted and the work was done precisely on schedule. Overall, great experience! I'd recommend American Radon Systems to anyone! read more

American Radon Systems was a pleasure to work with and our expectations were met completely. Bill knows his business. He was on time, courteous and took great care to be neat and clean when working in our new home. Bill went the extra mile to trim back a tree, that I just couldn't get to, in order to make sure the installation was done properly. I highly recommend American Radon Systems for your mitigation needs! Thanks for everything Bill! read more

The owners of this business are great. We were selling our house a few months ago and the prospective buyers had a radon test done soon after signing the contract. With our luck, our house requires remediation and the buyers were insisting that this be done immediately which sent me into a panic. I called Bill from American Radon Systems on a Wednesday and he met me at the house within an hour. He was even willing to come on a Sunday to do the job since we were under a time crunch. I can't say enough good things about this company. Such professionalism by both Bill and Colleen and a very reasonable quote...much less than others were suggesting. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing radon remediation. They made the experience easy for me to get what needed to be done as painlessly as possible. read more

I would strongly recommend American Radon Systems to anyone needing radon mitigation services. All the work was performed impeccably, on schedule, and at the estimated price. Bill took great care to make sure the system was working properly and the job site cleaned up perfectly after the work was completed. read more

Bill and Colleen were an absolute breeze to work with. I had a bit of a crisis as we were trying to get clear to close on our new home and I needed an estimate on very short notice. Not only did Bill answer the phone and my questions right away, but he was able to come out the next day and get me a very fair, written estimate for the work. Scheduling the installation was also easy and Bill and his helper were there on time and got done in about 4-5 hrs. Bill was also great about finding a spot in my garage attic to install the fan and exhaust as I find the exterior appearance of some of these systems to be kind of unsightly. Overall they were very respectful and friendly and exceptionally clean. I only wish I could hire him for some other projects around the house! read more

We had a bad experience with another company that left us a little wary of anyone else. Bill was amazing. He came in and gave us a good estimate. Then he worked all day to make sure the system was put in well and looked great. He went above and beyond to get our system put in. Also, we have two dogs that were going nuts because he was there, he took the time to come say hi to them to get them to relax. He really was fantastic. Hopefully I won't need abatement in the future but if I do, he will be the only call I make. read more
