Let’s take care of your radon questions.

No. American Radon Systems specializes in mitigation. Illinois licenses testing and mitigation separately, and testing is handled by licensed measurement professionals. EPA also points out the conflict of interest when the same company tests a home and then sells the fix, so keeping the two apart is deliberate. Bill can help you understand a result and point you toward the right next step. If you already have elevated results, send them over with your address.

Because the home decides the system. The ranges are ours, from the work we do around here, so they are a real starting point. A single exact number without seeing the foundation would be a guess. Bill reviews the home, explains the plan, and states the price before install. No trip charge for the look.

If a fan we install fails during the first five years, we replace it at no cost to the homeowner. The service visit, labor, and replacement fan are all included. A replacement fan installed under warranty receives its own five-year term. Ordinary fan replacement outside warranty is $575, including the fan, the visit, the labor, and a new five-year term. No trip charge. Details, including transferability, are in your customer packet after install.

Yes. That is Bill’s cell. Call, text, or send a photo of your fan, manometer, or test result. It is not a call center.

Yes. American Radon Systems holds Illinois radon mitigation license RNM2018212. Anyone hired to perform radon mitigation in Illinois must be appropriately state licensed. Illinois exempts a person doing measurement or mitigation in the dwelling where that person resides. Measurement and mitigation are separate professional license categories; American Radon Systems provides mitigation, not testing.

American Radon Systems serves a focused area across Chicago’s south and southwest suburbs, including Tinley Park, Frankfort, Mokena, New Lenox, Manhattan, Orland Park, Orland Hills, Palos Park, Palos Heights, Oak Forest, Lemont, Homer Glen, Lockport, Crest Hill, and Shorewood.

Property address, your radon result if you have one, and any closing date or deadline. Photos of an existing fan or manometer help for repair calls. You can call or text Bill’s cell at (815) 370-9682 or use the contact form.

Bill answers calls Monday through Sunday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., at (815) 370-9682, which is his cell phone. Texts, photos, and the website form can be sent anytime, and Bill follows up. A clear photo of the fan, the U-tube gauge, or the test result is often the quickest way to start.

There is no trip charge. Bill usually needs to see the home before giving a real quote, because the foundation type, sump details, finished space, and pipe route decide the price. You get the price in writing before any work begins.

Yes, and in Illinois it is required. A licensed mitigation company must have your dated acceptance of a written proposal before it starts work. The proposal covers the license number, the scope of work, the estimated completion date, the maintenance you are responsible for, a firm installation price, the estimated annual operating cost, and either the conditions of a radon-reduction guarantee or a statement explaining why none is offered.

Check, Zelle, or Venmo. Credit cards work too. The card processor adds a 3% processing fee on credit card payments, and you see that fee before you pay.
