Why RadonMan is Your Best Choice

Homebuyer? Why choose RadonMan  as  your radon mitigator?

Homeseller? Why choose a competitor as  your radon mitigator?

Does your home have musty odors? visible mold? Have your allergies or asthma gotten worse?

If so, we will provide you with a free, accurate thermohygrometer that will reveal the nasty little secret of water-saturated furniture, clothing, drapes and building materials that result from uncontrolled, unfiltered mechanical ventilation systems in hot, humid climates (primitive radon mitigation system technology, including many HRV and ERV installations) Please send me the FREE thermohygrometer so that I can identify high moisture levels BEFORE mold and illness strike my family, home and property

If you have bought a home with a radon system, and now you have humidity, musty odor or mold problems, you are not alone. Increasingly, folks are coming to realize that their radon system has created mold problems and serious health issues worse than radon itself. Contact us, our technology can make your problems go away, permanently. I bought a home with a radon system, and now I have odor, mold and humidity problems; please help me  We have healed a number of homes with moisture, mold and illness issues that had been mitigated for radon without including mold and moisture prevention features

FACTOIDS from RadonMan

1. We are building scientists who offer and specialize in the safest, most advanced radon mitigation services available in hot, humid climates
2. In Florida, we are the only radon mitigators who will guarantee that our system will not create mold or moisture issues.
3. We are the only firm with automatic humidity control for the radon system.
4. A RadonMan advanced system automatically knows not to add more moisture to a home than the air conditioner can easily handle
5. A home and its contents are like sponges
6. A 2000 square foot home and contents may be able to soak up and hold 5000 to 7000 pounds of moisture when relative humidity is above about 50%
7. Unfortunately, once the moisture level reaches about 70% saturation by weight, mold, moldy odors and rot begin to occur  almost everywhere, but it may be gradual, and you may not notice it until it has become a serious infestation
8. It is not unusual for the most common radon mitigation system designs, including energy recovery ventilators ERVs, to gradually increase indoor moisture saturation levels over months, sometimes even years until the 70% moisture saturation level is reached, and it continues to climb even higher
9. The radon system may be adding 2 to 200 pounds of water a day that the air conditioner fails to remove as the moisture saturation continues its march toward 70% saturation and higher. Even ERVs, Energy Recovery Ventilators add moisture every day
10. Remember that the air conditioner does not dehumidify except when it is running.
11. Surprisingly, the worst periods for mold and moisture saturation increases are spring and fall, including early winter when the air conditioner is not running
12. When the home and furnishings soak up moisture to the 70% saturation level, major mold problems will always appear unless the entire home and contents have been fully treated with a biocide that may be toxic to humans
13. THIS is why RadonMan insists that humidity must always be automatically controlled in any radon mitigation system, and that you cannot rely on the air conditioner to do it.
14. We have inspected and repaired homes with other radon systems installed that did not develop mold problems until four years after the radon system was installed. Mold cleanup costs of $50,000.00+ are not unusual.
15. RadonMan installations will not create mold or moisture problems, and we guarantee it.
16. We decline to install systems that we know will create moisture, mold, comfort or health issues
17. Our advanced systems incorporate HEPA filtration of all ventilation air added to the breathing zone. Our competitors rarely offer any filter at all, and if they do, it is usually a very small capacity, around six square inches of filter area, low efficiency polyester or hog's hair filter (you have seen them, they even look like hog's hair) that clogs up in weeks and is difficult to clean or replace. As the polyester or hog's hair filter clogs, the radon system stops working, even if their indicator tells you that the system is working fine.
18. Our HEPA filters contain no less than 1728 square inches of HEPA filtration material, about 288 times as much filtering capacity of the competition's filters. Our HEPA filters remove 99.97% of particles larger than 0.3 microns, a very small size. Our competitor's filters, if they have any at all, probably remove about 10-15% of airborne filth.
19. Our advanced systems will reduce asthma and allergy triggers, not increase them
20. We provide a limited warranty that our advanced systems will not cause mold or humidity problems
21. Our systems will not corrupt nor contaminate air conditioning ductwork with dust, dirt, pollen, mold/spores, chopped up insect body parts or particulate matter. The only correct cure for corrupted fiberglass ductwork is to remove it and to install new ducts. It is costly and totally unnecessary. Duct cleaning will not do it no matter how much you wish it would and no matter how much the duct cleaners claim it will. Duct cleaning may damage ducts and duct connections. EPA Duct Cleaning Page
22. When we are finished, paid and gone, you will not find that we have quietly installed a warning sticker advising that radon system operation may cause (severe) mold problems, as do most of our competitors. They are well aware that their radon systems may cause mold problems in hot, humid climates, but they disclaim liability for damage that they know sometimes occurs. Any disinterested lawyer will see through that smoke screen in two seconds. We believe that it is not unusual for someone to quietly remove the warning sticker before a homebuyer sees it.

23. If you are looking for the cheapest radon system available, look elsewhere, You will find plenty of "Hey, I can do that...and cheaper" primitive technology proposals
24. If you have had a radon system installed, or if you have bought a home with a radon system, and now you have mold, odor and/or health issues, call us and we can upgrade your system and cure your problems. It will not be a cheap one
25. If a radon "expert" tells you or has told you that our systems do not work or that he has had to repair or to remove any of our systems, please advise us immediately with the details. We will personally deliver a new, crisp $100.00 bill for each such tip. $100_tip@radonman.net

Radon Mitigation sounds very simple: Just open a window from time to time and let the RADON out. Or, drill a hole in the wall and install a fan to bring raw outdoor air into the air handler. In a hot, humid climate, It is not so simple... An open window or a radon fan may let in millions of mold spores and pollen particles each day, depositing them inside your ductwork and into your breathing zone. Also, delivering high humidity air may bring in as much as one or two hundred pounds of water vapor into a home each day , which, if not removed, soaks into everything, day after day. And of course, the air conditioning system is producing chilled surfaces on which the water vapor may condense and support mold growth.

Just because an air conditioner is cooling does not mean that it is dehumidifying. And many dehumidify poorly. And some do not dehumidify at all.

An unfiltered radon system has been shown to bring in 77,760,000 mold spores each day. And fifty to two hundred pounds of water vapor and mold food including organic dust, pollen and chopped-up insect body parts 24/7. This corruption is deposited inside the ductwork where it cannot be seen or cleaned. But it will accumulate, make mold and bacteria grow and digest building materials and personal property and make some occupants sick.

Your home is like  a sponge, and it will soak up the moisture over time, but finally it will get wet to the critical point that serious mold growth will occur and a major mold problem will suddenly appear. We have seen homes soak up moisture for over three years before the mold appeared. A recipe for illness, disaster and economic loss? You bet. And insurance will very rarely cover the cost of repair.

And what does the radon mitigator say when you call him about your mold problem three years after he installed the system??? "Didn't you see the warning sticker we put up telling you that we were not responsible for mold damage?" "No, well then, someone must have removed it. WE are not responsible, Good Bye."

And as a buyer you will accept the cheapest radon mitigation system that the seller can find?

September 1, 2006, we were in a condo that had a cheap radon system installed in 2001. Because it was noisy, it  had been turned off since shortly after installation. Current testing showed that the people who occupied the unit had been exposed to the approximate lung cancer risk equivalent to one cigarette per hour 24/7 for five years, and they did not know it. The only fortunate thing about it was that the condo was being used as a real estate sales office, and if any of the employees contracts lung cancer, they will have a strong claim for worker's compensation coverage of their medical bills for surgery, for medical treatment and for disability payments for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, survival rates for lung cancer have only slightly improved from about 5%. Ask your oncologist.
