Radon West

When I saw the following typo (or auto-correction) in Renata's email: ...
>Let me know if you anything Seuss with the attachments.
>Best,
>Renata

I knew I could only respond one way: ...
>I don’t like Radon in my house
>It must stay out just like a mouse
>So we will fix that really quick
>To pay your quote is what we pick

Not to be outdone, they replied: ....
>We’d like to thank you for choice
>With low radon, you will rejoice
>We presume you will want the best,
>We’ll prove to you that’s Radon West!

Saw the University of Calgary radon testing project a few years ago. Being British, and knowing that radon can be an issue with homes, ordered the puck with the thought that it would come back close to zero and no problem. It didn't. Came back around 220-ish. Decided that I needed to know more and bought a radon detector. Results were worse. 250 to 450 over various parts of the house. Got in touch with RadonWest and they sent out someone to have a look. They gave us options. Confirmed that the meter I had chosen was a good one (Corentium from AirThings) and we arranged for them to come in and do some mitigation work. The team were here a day. Very impressed with the work and the expertise. They explained what they were doing and why at every stage. Now we are waiting to see if this has done the trick. We know that we have a challenging house (2 sumps and a well inside the house) and the work done today might need a second kick, but fingers crossed. However, I do know that with RadonWest we will get rid of the radon, or at least to very acceptable levels, eventually.

With the most experience and professionalism of any Calgary area radon mitigation, the very informative and thorough premigitation review (by Renata) and then preanalysis and install and testing of the active sub-slab depressurization system (performed by Grant and colleague) is highly recommended for anyone concerned about high radon levels in their home or building. The install of a very quiet fan system has resulted on a drop from yearly average of around 195 (Bq/m3 as measured on Airthings Wave) to month average of 18 since install with closed house and some very cold days. 200 being the health Canada recommended level for immediate mitigation.
So very happy to have safe levels finally, but after 15 years exposure to these high levels we wish we had known about the risk and had Radon West install a system a lot earlier. At least now we have peace of mind that we are no longer breathing in this radioactive gas that is considered the primary cause of nonsmoking lung cancer.
Please test for Radon levels and get a migitation system if you have high levels. Radon West is the most knowledgeable and experienced company!

They were very professional and very informative. We are happy with the results and would recommend them to anyone wanting to check their radon levels in their home and/or have them do the radon mitigation.

We were very impressed with the level of knowledge, professionalism and work ethic of the team at Radon West. During the quote they took time to assess our house, explained the science behind radon and mitigation, and discussed what options were available to us. We felt confident going ahead with their services. The technicians were thorough, explained each step of what they were doing and cleaned up well after they were done. We're very pleased with how everything was installed and feel much safer living and breathing in our home.

Our radon test revealed very high levels. I requested estimates from 3 companies. Of these, Renatta from RadonWest was the most knowledgeable and the most clear and patient in her explanations. Costs for all 3 were similar so I opted to go with RadonWest. Preparation and installation by Grant and his partner surpassed all my expectations. They took time to carefully explain what needed to be done and how they'd go about it. They kept me posted during the install and ensured I understood the how and why. I was very impressed with their attitudes and their professionalism. I would highly recommend this company to anyone seeking a similar service.

The crew at Radon West did a fantastic job. Great communication throughout the process. Job was completed as per the original estimate. Installers went above and beyond to ensure the job was done right even though it took half a day longer than expected with a complicated sub slab and crawl space system.

We brought in RadonWest to fix a radon remediation install from a well know basement install business in Calgary. Our radon levels were extremely high, 10 times acceptable limits. After 8 months of struggle, in one day RadonWest identified the complexity through extensive testing, and then installed an appropriate remediation system (completely negating the previous install from other company). If you have radon, these are the folks to call. Do not bother with anyone else.

Overall, an amazing experience. We initially hired another company to install a radon fan in our new house. However, we were not seeing the results we had hoped for so (inital levels of over 1500 Bq/m3, after install radon levels were still averaging 150 Bq/m3). So we called Radon West. They helped identify the issue with the inital installation and developed a plan to fix it at minimal cost utilizing the system that was already in place. Radon West understood my urgency and came after hours to rectify the issue. Our levels are now down to 15 Bq/m3 or less! Thank you Radon West for all the calls and emails and prioritizing us to resolve our radon issue in a timely and cost efficient manner.

When I read all the reviews of Radon West I said to myself, these reviews are too good to be true. But they are not. I was truly impressed by the level of professionalism, knowledge and quality of work. Working with this company was a great experience. . I bought a Radon Eye and was shocked at the variability of the Radon Levels over a period of 2 months. We had peak levels over 600 Bq/m3. Our average reading was around 180. After our mitigation we are averaging 21 and our peak after one month is 37. I could not be happier. I would recommend this company to anyone that wanted to make sure their house had minimal radon levels. Matt Pavlik
