The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) action level for Radon is 4 pCi/L and has been the national standard since 1988. The EPA labels all levels of Radon from 4 pCi/L & above as "Fix Your Home" advising to look into radon mitigation services. Even if your home is above 2pCi/L, radon mitigation might be a wise decision. As of 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) set its threshold for radon mitigation at 2.7pCi/L. So when the need arises to "Fix your home", Mold Medics is your local licensed radon mitigation contractor who'll get the job done right.
The risk of cancer from radon exposure for non-smokers is equal to...*
For starters, you only need radon mitigation services when your home's radon levels are getting too high. As stated previously, the EPA action level is 4 pCi/L ¹ and the WHO set theirs to 2.7 pCi/L ². If radon levels remain at those high levels, they can start to pose serious health-related issues.
According to both the National Cancer Institute (NCI) ³ & the EPA ³, radon causes lung cancer in smokers and non-smokers alike. Radon represents a far smaller risk for lung cancer than Smoking, but it's still the second leading cause in the United States. Scientists estimate that 15,000 to 22,000 lung cancer deaths in the United States each year are related to radon.
For smokers, long-term radon exposure dramatically increases their risk of developing lung cancer. Fortunately, there's an easy way for homeowners to protect themselves and their families: have a professional radon tester check your home every five years. And when you discover your levels are high, work with a licensed radon mitigation specialist to reduce them down to safer levels. Don't wait; take preventative measures against these potential ill effects with our radon mitigation services today!
Equals the risk of dying in a car crash of 4 pCi/L
The risk of dying from a fall at 8 pCi/L
The risk of dying in a home fire at 10 pCi/L
The risk of drowning at 20 pCi/L
* If you are a smoker, your risk may be higher. Infographic comparison data was calculated using the CDC's & National Cancer Institute's 1999-2001 Reports.³
Customer Testimonials
I had Mold Medics come out for a mold issue and to clean my vents. The first day Thaddeus came out and worked non stop cleaning up my mold issue. The attention to details was outstanding and both guys were extremely nice. They told me two different guys were coming out the next day, and quite frankly I wanted Thaddeus to come back because the service was so great! But they showed up on time again, and did an amazing job cleaning my vents and explaining the process to me. For the air quality and safety of your home, I would not recommend anyone else.

Working with Mold Medics was wonderful. There is great communication throughout and Bryan did an amazing job removing and treating the mold in our bathroom. Highly recommend and would use in the future if needed.
Abigail Lo
We had a great experience with Mold Medics! They were easy to schedule with and reasonably priced. They were even all great with pets! The technician who did the removal, John, was fantastic. He was very thorough in his explanation of the services and in his work. He was easy to talk to and passionate about his work. He was also very mindful of my cats and ensuring they didn’t get out. Very trustworthy from all aspects. I had many patches/spots of visible mold all over the bathroom ceiling and it was sparkling white when he finished. He also cleaned off everything else in the bathroom including the walls, light fixtures and even the vent. Highly recommend!
Tricia Goetz
There’s a lot of conflicting information out there on how to handle mold remediation. Getting it done properly is not cheap, but working with mold medics has given me confidence that we’ve done the best we possibly can to keep our basement mold free. Thad patiently answered my millions of questions and the work team with Justin, Anthony, and Trevor were really hard workers and just lovely to work with.

When we moved furniture during spring cleaning my son found mold that came from our basement sewage pipe explosion. My service person was John and he explained the process very well. He was friendly, clean and professional. The results were excellent and no pressure selling. I recommend Moldmedics to anyone concerned with mold removal.

He was knowledgeable, kind, courteous and respectful our time. The work was down very quickly and in a very cost effective manner.

Nancy Bevilacqua
I would give Mold Medics 10 stars if I could. From the estimate to the job completion, they were professional, friendly, and extremely easy to work with. Ashley completed the estimate and explained the pricing. She worked within my budget to get the job done! The Mold Medic teams were fantastic to work with. Connor explained the process every step of the way. He was kind, considerate, and respectful of my pets. I would recommend this company, hands down, for mold eradication and duct cleaning.
Barbara Kolling
I had a smaller mold issue in my RV after a roof leak. After calling some “competitors” I was told the job was too small and couldn’t find anyone to help. Called Mold Medics and spoke with Ashley. She was very friendly and helpful on the phone and tried her best to help me out. She got me in the next day to take a look at it. Her and Kobe took care of the issue right there and then in the parking lot! Very knowledgeable and caring and worked with me on the price. Big job or small I would highly recommend you give Ashley and Mold Medics a call!
I wish I could give them 15 stars!! Ashley & her team were absolutely amazing start to finish!! We were having insulation (by another company) installed in our attics but they found mold. They recommended Mold Medics and Ashley came out THE SAME DAY!!!! By the end of that week they were here and taking care of our mold problem. Affordable, quick, & trustworthy!

Your Neighbors' Radon Level Isn't Your Own
In early 2022, we were curious if there was any credence to people who say "my neighbor recently test so I'm fine" or "my neighbor has a radon mitigation system, so it's lowering my radon levels too". So we embarked on a mission to assess the radon levels in multiple homes situated on the same street in Valencia, PA. These houses, built simultaneously using identical construction methods and builders, presented a unique opportunity to study the variability of radon levels.
What we discovered was startling. Out of the five homes we tested, four exceeded the radon action level. The readings ranged from 4.1 pCi/L to an alarming 15.9 pCi/L. The home with the lowest level, of 2.6 pCi/L, had a radon mitigation system installed and was located in the middle of the neighborhood. Clearly not helping to lower the other homes' levels. This study serves as a stark reminder that radon issues can vary drastically even among homes with a similar construction in close proximity and the importance of performing annual radon testing of your home.
How does radon get into your home?
Radon, a radioactive gas, is a potential problem in any home. It naturally comes from the decay of uranium in the soil. Since radon enters your home from the soil beneath it, a problem can arise no matter what style, age, location, or building materials of your home. The average radon levels in each state can be drastically different as well due to things like terrain, uranium content in the soil, and how porous surface rock formations are.
When entering your home, the highest level of concentration is normally found on the lowest level of your home. It enters as a gas through cracks in the floor, walls, foundation, hollow block walls, and sump pumps. Basements with no visible signs of cracks or openings also can have radon because radon can move easily through all gas-permeable materials.
Mold Medics is a licensed radon mitigation contractor, and certified by the DEP to install sub-slab depressurization radon mitigation systems into your home! This radon mitigation system uses PVC piping which runs from the sub-slab radon collection point to the fan that is mounted on the exterior of your home.
By creating a negative pressure under your home, it forms a radon collection point that is continually vented by the system. Radon gas is expelled from your home through the exterior stack that extends past your roof line. You can learn more about the process by looking at our Step by Step Infographic!
Schedule Radon Mitigation & Testing Services With Our Experts
Don't know if your home needs radon mitigation? According to the DEP, Pennsylvania has one of the most serious radon problems in the United States. On average 4 out of 10 houses in Pennsylvania have very high levels of Radon. It's easy to be caught unaware by your home's Radon levels, so it's important to get your home regularly checked by certified professionals.
It's also highly recommended to perform retests after any major home renovation, especially if they involve structural changes or foundation repairs. This also could include finishing your basement or adjustments to your HVAC system. This is so that you don't get caught unaware by an increase in your radon levels.
