Why shouldn't I hire a general handyman for radon work?
EPA guidance says homeowners should use a qualified radon service professional rather than a general handyman. Radon mitigation systems should be installed by a radon mitigation professional. A general home-inspection or remodeling license alone does not show radon expertise.
What standards should the installer follow?
The installer should follow EPA Radon Mitigation Standards or equivalent Kentucky state standards. Ask the pro which standard the work will meet. Get that answer in writing before you sign anything.
Where in the Lexington area can I look for a contractor?
Lexington-area radon businesses commonly serve Fayette County and surrounding counties such as Jessamine, Madison, Scott, and Woodford. You do not have to limit your search to city limits. Search within the wider local service area.
