Radon Mitigation in Homer Glen, Lockport, Crest Hill & Shorewood
Serving Homer Glen, Lockport, Crest Hill, and Shorewood with state-licensed radon mitigation, fan replacement, and existing-system work.
If your test came back high, call Bill or send your information over. He will look at the house, explain what makes sense, and our crew will handle the work cleanly if mitigation is needed.
Homer Glen, Lockport, Crest Hill, and Shorewood sit in our focused south and southwest suburban service footprint. Larger footprints, custom layouts, sump-based basements, and finished lower levels are common, so the plan usually comes down to foundation details, fan placement, and a pipe route that looks like it belongs.
Radon risk varies house to house regardless of how a home was built. The only way to know your level is to test it. When the number is elevated, mitigation is a well-understood fix.
Homes We Commonly See Around This Area
- Homer Glen homes with larger footprints and more custom layouts, where fan placement, discharge location, and quiet operation matter.
- Sump-based systems and finished basements common across Lockport, where the exterior fan location needs to be planned carefully.
- Crest Hill homes that often need the issue handled cleanly for a sale or refinance, with clear documentation when the transaction timeline is tight.
- Shorewood homes with practical basement and sump layouts, including newer construction with passive radon piping that may still need a fan.
What Bill Looks At When He Stops Out
- Foundation type and layout: basement, crawlspace, slab, or a mix.
- The sump: lid condition, pump access, and whether the pit is the right suction point.
- A pipe route that respects the exterior of the home and does not look slapped on.
- Any builder-installed passive piping worth activating instead of building from scratch.
- Fan and discharge placement you will not hear or trip over.
- The existing system, if there is one: fan sound, manometer, and whether repair, fan replacement, or relocation makes more sense.
Radon Mitigation and System Service
Most of our work in this area is radon mitigation system installation: a suction point at the slab or sump, a clean pipe run, a fan sized to the home, and a manometer so you can see it working.
Along with new mitigation installs, we handle fan replacement, manometer questions, existing system repairs, system relocation and rerouting, and passive radon pipe activation in newer homes when the existing route is usable. We service systems we did not originally install.
Established experience, local attention
American Radon Systems has installed more than 10,000 radon systems. Bill still evaluates each home before it is quoted, and the team brings nearly 25 years of combined mitigation experience to the work.

Radon Fan Replacement in This Area
A fan that becomes noticeably louder, rattles, grinds, hums, or sends vibration through the wall may be wearing out or may have another system issue that should be checked. A properly working radon fan is not perfectly silent. Most produce a soft, steady sound of air moving through the pipe. If the system becomes completely silent, check the U-tube manometer to see whether suction is still present. Uneven liquid levels usually indicate suction. If both sides are level with each other, the system is not showing suction. Radon fan replacement is a normal service call for us, including systems installed by another company. There is no separate trip charge, and Bill explains the repair or replacement price before work begins.
If the failed fan is one we installed and it is within the five-year warranty, the service visit, labor and replacement fan are included at no cost. Questions? Call or text Bill's cell at (815) 370-9682 and text a clear photo of the fan and the U-tube manometer if you have one. That number is Bill's cell phone.
Four Common Reasons Homeowners Call
- A test came back elevated.The next step is a mitigation system designed around your foundation. Bill looks first, then prices.
- The home already has a system, and something seems off.A fan that becomes noticeably louder, rattles, grinds, hums, or sends vibration through the wall may be wearing out or may have another system issue that should be checked. Uneven liquid levels usually indicate suction. If both sides are level with each other, the system is not showing suction. Call or text Bill's cell with a clear photo of the fan and manometer. Same-day or next-day service in most cases. Radon fan replacement is a normal service call for us, including systems installed by another company. There is no separate trip charge, and Bill explains the repair or replacement price before work begins.
- A newer home has a radon pipe but no fan.That is passive piping, often labeled Radon Reduction System in newer Illinois homes. Illinois has required radon-resistant new construction features in many jurisdictions since 2013; activation adds the fan when a later test is elevated. See official Illinois Radon Resistant Construction guidance for the rule details.
- You are buying or selling and radon is on the inspection report.Call early. Buyers can get a real quote during the inspection window. Sellers get more flexibility when radon is handled before it becomes last-minute closing pressure.

Common Questions
How fast can you get out for a closing deadline?
Usually within days. Most installs are completed in a single visit. Tell us the closing date up front and we will be straight with you about the schedule.
Our home is on a sump pump. Does that complicate mitigation?
No, it is one of the most common setups we see in Lockport, Crest Hill, and Shorewood. The sump pit is often the best suction point, and sealing the lid is a normal part of the job.
Do larger or more custom Homer Glen homes need a different approach?
The science is the same, but the routing details change. Larger footprints and custom layouts often need more attention to fan placement, discharge location, and keeping finished spaces undisturbed.
Our radon fan is making noise. Does that mean replacement?
A fan that becomes noticeably louder, rattles, grinds, hums, or sends vibration through the wall may be wearing out or may have another system issue that should be checked. A properly working radon fan is not perfectly silent. Most produce a soft, steady sound of air moving through the pipe. If the system becomes completely silent, check the U-tube manometer. If the columns are level with each other, the system is not showing suction. If the reading changes substantially from its usual mark or the fan sounds different, send Bill a clear photo of the fan and manometer. Call or text a clear photo of the fan and manometer to Bill's cell at (815) 370-9682. Same-day or next-day service in most cases. There is no separate trip charge, and Bill explains the repair or replacement price before work begins. If the failed fan is one we installed and it is within the five-year warranty, the service visit, labor and replacement fan are included at no cost.
Do you test for radon?
Call Bill with a testing question or a result. He will walk you through free or low-cost kit options when useful, and talk mitigation if the number is elevated. If your result is already in hand, send it over with your info.
