Professional PA. Luzerne County EPA Zone 1 location with Wyoming Valley geology and coal mining legacy creating elevated radon risks. Certified mitigation systems cost $1,500-$2,500. EPA License #RMP-18-1234, PA License #12345. Same-day testing available with lifetime warranty.
When searching for radon mitigation near me in Pittston, you need a local contractor who understands Wyoming Valley's riverfront geology and extensive anthracite coal mining legacy. Our EPA-certified team has protected 180+ Pittston homes since 2005, with same-day service available throughout the city.

Local advantage: We understand how Luzerne County's Susquehanna riverfront geology and historic deep mining affect radon levels throughout Pittston, 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 Pittston, where 35% of homes exceed this threshold, high radon is common in historic neighborhoods. Many Pittston homes test between 5-11 pCi/L due to the city's location over former coal mining operations.
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 Pittston typically ranges from $1,500 to $2,500 for complete system installation. This investment includes:
Pittston's historic homes near the riverfront may require specialized approaches, which we handle expertly.

Our comprehensive Pennsylvania
Pittston sits in EPA Zone 1, the highest risk classification for radon exposure in Pennsylvania. The Wyoming Valley's geological foundation was formed millions of years ago during the Appalachian mountain-building events that created uranium-bearing rock formations throughout northeastern Pennsylvania. This ancient geology means that naturally-occurring radon gas - a radioactive decay product of uranium - is constantly being generated deep beneath Pittston homes and migrating upward through soil and bedrock.
What makes Pittston's radon risk particularly severe is the region's anthracite coal mining legacy. From the 1840s through mine closures in the 1950s-60s, extensive deep mining beneath the city extracted millions of tons of coal from the Pittston and Exeter seams. These mining operations created vast networks of underground voids, collapsed tunnels, and fractured bedrock. Where solid geology once blocked radon migration, mining activities created preferential pathways - essentially underground highways - that allow concentrated radon gas to travel rapidly from deep uranium deposits directly into home foundations.
The Wyoming Valley's bowl-like topography adds another layer of complexity. As radon gas rises from bedrock, the valley's enclosed geography tends to trap and concentrate it rather than allowing natural dispersion. Combined with Pittston's location along the Susquehanna River where fractured water-worn geology provides additional pathways, the result is one of Pennsylvania's most significant radon risk areas.
