Radon in Lockport
Lockport tracks its county almost exactly. Our 14 October 2026 count from the IEMA layer gives Lockport 880 valid tests with no mitigation system on record, a 3.5 pCi/L median, and 45.1% at or above 4.0. Will County’s own set is 27,611 tests, the same 3.5 median, and 44.9%.
About nine of every twenty Lockport tests reached the action level. It is one of the most common home problems in town and one of the easiest to fix for good. Nothing about Lockport is unusual, which is exactly why a Lockport home should not assume it is the exception.
Your basement stays the way it is
If your home has a sump pit or a finished lower level, we work around both without tearing anything up. The sump keeps working the way it always has, and the drywall and trim stay where they are.
Working with American Radon Systems
A new system is usually scheduled within a week or two, and one visit covers most Lockport installs. We draw the radon out from under the home and vent it outside, so the gas goes out instead of in, and you go back to using the whole home. The system is quiet, and if you ever have a question later, you reach Bill, not a call center.
If your radon is still 4.0 or higher after we put the system in, we come back and fix it for free, and we pay for the follow-up test.

Lockport questions
We are selling our Lockport home and the buyer found radon. How soon can you get it done?
An Illinois-licensed measurement professional runs the contract test, and a radon result rarely holds up a sale. Tell Bill the closing date when you reach out, and you get the receipt and written warranty for the file at closing.
The Lockport median is 3.5. Do I fix a 3.5 result?
EPA says to consider a fix between 2 and 4 pCi/L and to fix at 4.0 or higher. A 3.5 in your own home is a judgment call, and Bill will tell you plainly what he would do in his own.
