Professional PA. Back Mountain geology and natural topography 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.
When searching for radon mitigation near me in Taylor, you need a local contractor who understands Lackawanna County's coal mining heritage. Our EPA-certified team has protected 95+ Taylor homes since 2005, with same-day service available throughout the borough. We serve all Taylor neighborhoods including Old Forge border areas.
Local advantage: We understand how Lackawanna County's extensive anthracite mining history affects radon levels throughout Taylor, 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 Taylor, where 39% of homes exceed this threshold, high radon is common in areas with coal mining history. Many Taylor homes test between 6-12 pCi/L due to underground geological factors.
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.

Our comprehensive Pennsylvania
Taylor sits in EPA Zone 1, the highest risk classification for radon exposure in Pennsylvania. Located in the Back Mountain region of Luzerne County, Taylor's geological foundation includes uranium-bearing rock formations from the ancient Lackawanna Formation. These Paleozoic-era sedimentary rocks contain naturally occurring uranium deposits that continuously decay, producing radon gas deep beneath Taylor homes.
The region's glacial till soils create a complex network of pathways for radon migration. During the last Ice Age, glaciers deposited layers of mixed sand, gravel, and clay across the Back Mountain area. These permeable glacial deposits, combined with fractured bedrock beneath Taylor, allow radon gas to travel efficiently from uranium-bearing rock formations. Radon moves through foundation cracks, sump pumps, floor drains, and utility penetrations, accumulating in basements and crawl spaces where families spend time.
Taylor's elevated terrain and natural topography compound radon risks. The rolling hills and valleys create pressure differentials that draw radon from soil into homes through foundation gaps. Combined with older home construction in many Taylor neighborhoods, these geological and structural factors create consistent radon exposure risks throughout the community.
Professional making certified radon mitigation systems essential for protecting family health throughout the Back Mountain region.
