Questions to ask before you book

  1. What test result triggers mitigation?
  2. Where will the pipe and fan be located?
  3. Is post-install testing included?
  4. What warranty covers the radon level and fan?

Keep the scope clean

Ask each company to price the same work, with materials, labor, access, cleanup, disposal, permits, and warranty separated. That makes the lowest quote easier to inspect and the highest quote easier to challenge.
