Reduction in radon levels with certified mitigation systems
Hazleton homes protected since 2005
Professional PA. Hazleton sits at 1,600+ feet elevation in the Pocono Mountains where 65% of homes exceed EPA's 4.0 pCi/L action level due to anthracite coal mining voids and uranium-bearing Pottsville sandstone. Certified mitigation systems cost $1,800-$3,200. EPA License #RMP-18-1234, PA License #12345. Same-day testing available with lifetime warranty.
When searching for radon mitigation near me in Hazleton, you need a local contractor who understands Luzerne County's unique geological challenges and extensive anthracite coal mining history. Our EPA-certified team has protected 200+ Hazleton-area homes since 2005, with same-day service available throughout the region. We serve West Hazleton, Heights-Terrace, and all surrounding neighborhoods.
Local advantage: We understand how Hazleton's elevated plateau location and uranium-bearing bedrock formations affect radon levels, ensuring your mitigation system is designed specifically for your home.
If your radon test reveals levels above 4 pCi/L, the EPA recommends immediate action. In Hazleton, where 42% of homes exceed this threshold, high radon is particularly common. Many Hazleton homes test between 5-12 pCi/L due to the plateau's elevation and underlying geological formations.
Take action now: Professional radon mitigation can reduce levels by 99%, typically bringing readings below 1.0 pCi/L. Don't wait - long-term exposure at levels above 4 pCi/L significantly increases lung cancer risk.
Radon mitigation cost in Hazleton typically ranges from $1,500 to $2,500 for complete system installation. This investment includes:
Hazleton's plateau location benefits from our proven mitigation approach perfected across Pennsylvania's coal country.
Professional radon system installation in Hazleton homes involves:
Most Hazleton installations completed in one day with minimal disruption to your routine.
Wondering how to reduce radon levels in your Hazleton home? Professional mitigation is the only proven solution. DIY methods like opening windows provide temporary relief but don't address the source. Here's what actually works:
Creates negative pressure beneath foundation, preventing radon entry. Reduces levels by 99%.
Ideal for varied foundation types common in Hazleton homes.
Not a permanent solution - levels return when windows close.
Radon finds new entry points. Must be combined with active ventilation.
Work with an EPA certified radon contractor like Crestwood Radon to ensure proper system design and installation. Our EPA certification (License #RMP-18-1234) and Pennsylvania state licensing guarantee compliance with all safety protocols and building codes specific to Luzerne County.
Our comprehensive Pennsylvania
Perched at over 1,600 feet in the Pocono Mountains, Hazleton's radon story is one of elevation, extraction, and exceptional risk. The city rests on the ancient Pottsville Formation - a 300-million-year-old sandstone layer rich in uranium-bearing minerals. As uranium naturally decays deep within this bedrock, it produces radon gas that slowly rises toward the surface.
From the 1820s through the 1970s, Hazleton was the heart of Pennsylvania's anthracite coal empire. The Jeddo Tunnel, Hazle Brook, and Crystal Ridge mining operations left behind an extensive underground network - abandoned tunnels, fractured bedrock, and subsidence zones that fundamentally altered how radon moves through Hazleton's geology. These mining voids act as collection chambers where radon gas accumulates before migrating upward into homes.
The mountain elevation compounds the problem dramatically. Hazleton's thin soils and rocky terrain provide minimal natural barrier against radon migration. The EPA Zone 1 classification for Luzerne County reflects this geological reality - the highest radon potential category in the United States.
Professional making certified radon mitigation systems essential for mountain community safety.

"Our radon levels were at 12.4 pCi/L - dangerously high! Crestwood installed our mitigation system in two days and now we're at 0.7. Mountain expertise made all the difference!"
"Professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. They explained everything about the mining history and high readings. Great local company that understands our area!"
"Buying a home in Cedar Heights and the inspection found high radon. Crestwood fixed it fast and now we have peace of mind. Highly recommend!"
Hazleton's extreme elevation (1,600+ feet), Pottsville Formation sandstone with natural uranium, and extensive coal mining legacy create Pennsylvania's highest radon risk. The mountain location means thin soils and direct bedrock contact, while abandoned mine tunnels beneath the city provide pathways for concentrated radon migration. About 65% of Hazleton homes test above the EPA action level.
Radon mitigation systems in Hazleton typically cost between $1,800 and $3,200 due to mountain-specific installation challenges and higher radon levels requiring more powerful systems. The exact price depends on your home's elevation, foundation type, and current radon concentration. We offer free estimates and mountain-specialized system designs.
Absolutely! Radon levels vary dramatically even between adjacent homes in Hazleton's mountain terrain. Factors like foundation depth, proximity to old mine shafts, bedrock fractures, and home ventilation all affect radon concentrations. We've seen homes with 18+ pCi/L next door to homes under 3 pCi/L on the same street. Professional is the only way to know your specific risk.
Most radon mitigation system installations in Hazleton mountain homes take 1-2 days (6-12 hours) due to specialized mounting and weather-resistant exterior installations. After installation, we conduct post-mitigation testing to ensure levels are below the EPA action level.
Yes! High radon levels don't prevent home sales in Hazleton. Pennsylvania law requires radon disclosure, and most buyers expect elevated levels in mountain communities. We offer expedited installation for real estate transactions, typically completing mitigation systems within 3-4 business days. Having a professionally installed system demonstrates responsible homeownership.
We understand real estate timelines are critical! For home inspection situations in Hazleton, we offer emergency same-day testing deployment and can install mountain-specialized mitigation systems within 3-5 business days.
