Professional PA. Pocono Plateau geology and anthracite coal basin contribute to elevated radon levels. Certified mitigation systems cost $1,500-$2,500. EPA License #RMP-18-1234, PA License #12345. Same-day testing available with lifetime warranty.
Searching for "radon mitigation near me" in Mountain Top? We're your local EPA-certified specialists serving Wright Township and surrounding Luzerne County areas. With 180+ Mountain Top families protected since 2005, we understand the unique radon challenges posed by elevated plateau geology and the anthracite coal basin. Our team responds quickly to Mountain Top calls, typically within 24 hours, providing radon mitigation Mountain Top services that reduce levels by 99%. Located in EPA Zone 1, Mountain Top requires experienced contractors who understand how uranium-bearing bedrock and mining history create persistent radon pathways.
The EPA action level is 4.0 pCi/L, yet 44% of Mountain Top homes test above this threshold. Typical readings range from 5-13 pCi/L due to Pocono Plateau geology and mining legacy. At 8 pCi/L (common in Wright Township), your lung cancer risk equals smoking half a pack daily. Testing reveals levels - don't assume your neighbor's results apply to you. Mountain Top's position at 1,800+ feet elevation combined with fractured bedrock means radon concentrations vary dramatically even between adjacent homes. Our 600-$2,700, varying by home size and foundation complexity. Most Wright Township homes require sub-slab depressurization systems with exterior routing. Price includes EPA-certified installation, post-mitigation testing, and lifetime warranty. Free estimates available - we assess your home's specific needs before quoting.
Professional installation takes 4-8 hours in most Mountain Top homes. We install sub-slab depressurization systems designed for plateau geology - a fan creates negative pressure beneath your foundation, venting radon safely above the roofline. Systems run 24/7 using minimal electricity (similar to a light bulb), continuously protecting your family.
Professional mitigation is the only EPA-recommended solution for reducing radon levels in Mountain Top's high-risk geology. Opening windows provides temporary reduction but wastes energy year-round. Our certified systems actively pull radon from beneath your foundation before it enters living spaces. Given Mountain Top's uranium-bearing bedrock and mining pathways, DIY approaches fail - EPA certification ensures systems handle local geological challenges. We guarantee levels below 4.0 pCi/L or we make it right.
As EPA certified radon contractors, we provide comprehensive testing and mitigation throughout Mountain Top. Our team holds EPA RMP certification and Pennsylvania state licensing - required for legal, warrantied work. We understand Wright Township's geology, typical foundation types, and optimal system placement for plateau terrain. Free radon testing (48-hour continuous monitoring) identifies your risk. If mitigation is needed, we design custom systems for your home's specific conditions.

Perched on the Pocono Plateau at an elevation over 1,800 feet, Mountain Top's geological foundation tells a story that began hundreds of millions of years ago. The region sits atop the northern anthracite coal basin, where uranium-bearing bedrock formations in the Llewellyn and Pottsville geological groups create ideal conditions for continuous radon generation.
The area's elevated plateau geography creates unique radon migration patterns. Unlike valley locations where radon can pool, Mountain Top's position at the edge of the Ridge and Valley Province means radon migrates upward through fractured bedrock and coal seams directly into home foundations. The region's extensive historical coal mining operations created additional pathways - abandoned mine tunnels and subsidence areas act as underground superhighways allowing radon gas to travel rapidly from deep uranium deposits to the surface.
The Pocono Plateau's bedrock composition includes uranium-rich Catskill Formation sandstones and shales that naturally produce radon through radioactive decay. Where these formations meet the anthracite coal measures, the combination creates some of Pennsylvania's highest natural radon potential. Professional coal basin geology, and uranium-bearing bedrock - explains why certified radon mitigation systems are essential for home safety throughout this EPA Zone 1 community.
