The largest radon measurement firms have many radon measurement devices.
They know which of the radon monitors measure high, and they know which ones measure low.
Guess which radon test devices they use when they test to find radon problem buildings to refer to their one "special buddy" in the radon mitigation business?
Guess which radon test devices they use when they test after radon mitigation has been performed by their "special buddy?"
Ask yourself "Why they would refer homeowners only to a single radon mitigator?"
Why would they make disparaging and outright condemnation statements about all radon mitigators except for their "special buddy?"
Why would they remain totally silent about the well known connection between serious mold problems and radon mitigation by mechanical ventilation and by Energy Recovery Ventilators when the connection is clearly proven? After all, they are also in the mold measurement business...and they claim to be radon and mold EXPERTS...
Aren't there any ethical constraints on such behavior by a mold and radon measurement firm or on a home inspection firm?
The truth is that there are ethical constraints, but they just get in the way of profitability in Naples, Florida.

Could it be because it may take months or even years for the mold to appear, and when it does, it can always be blamed on air conditioner failure and not on the true cause, the radon system installation? And homeowners almost never know any better?
But get this! There is a home inspection and radon testing firm in SW Florida who both tests for radon and then mitigates for radon when he finds it! And then, after he fixes it, he tests again to prove that he fixed it! His is one of the two biggest radon and mold testing firms in Naples, SW Florida!
Both of the biggest radon and mold testing firms in Naples, Florida refer their clients only to a single radon mitigation firm or only to themselves. And then they retest to prove that the radon has been reduced either by themselves or by their "special" buddy. Second or third party opinions are unwelcome. Witness that by the way they degrade all radon mitigators except for their "special buddy."
...And the underfunded State of Florida Radon Program in Tallahassee is understaffed and powerless to stop these remarkably arrogant and highly suspect behaviors.
