Professional PA. Wyoming Valley geology and coal mining legacy 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 Wilkes-Barre, you need a local contractor who understands Wyoming Valley's unique geological challenges. Our EPA-certified team has protected over 500 Wilkes-Barre homes since 2005, with same-day service available throughout the area. We're just minutes away from Downtown, South Wilkes-Barre, Parsons, and all surrounding neighborhoods.
Local advantage: We understand how the anthracite coal mining legacy and uranium-bearing bedrock affect radon levels throughout Luzerne County, ensuring your mitigation system is designed specifically for Wilkes-Barre geology.
If your radon test reveals levels above 4 pCi/L, the EPA recommends immediate action. In Wilkes-Barre, where 45% of homes exceed this threshold, high radon is common but easily fixed. Many Wyoming Valley homes test between 6-15 pCi/L, which means significant exposure risk without mitigation.
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 Wilkes-Barre typically ranges from $1,500 to $2,500 for complete system installation. This investment includes:
Compare this one-time investment to the 21,000 annual radon-related lung cancer deaths nationwide - protecting your family is priceless.

Most Wilkes-Barre installations completed in one day with minimal disruption to your routine.
Wondering how to reduce radon levels in your Wyoming Valley 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 crawl spaces common in older Wilkes-Barre 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
Wilkes-Barre sits in EPA Zone 1, the highest risk classification for radon exposure in Pennsylvania. The Wyoming Valley's unique geological story began millions of years ago when ancient mountain-building forces created uranium-bearing rock formations throughout the region. This natural geological heritage means that radon - a radioactive decay product of uranium - is constantly being generated beneath Wilkes-Barre homes.
The valley's anthracite coal mining legacy adds another critical layer to the radon story. From the 1800s through the mid-1900s, extensive deep mining beneath Wilkes-Barre created vast underground networks. These mining voids and fractured bedrock now act as superhighways for radon gas migration. Where solid bedrock once blocked radon, mining operations created pathways that allow gas to travel from deep uranium deposits directly into home foundations.
The Wyoming Valley's bowl-like topography compounds the issue - radon gas accumulates in the valley basin rather than dispersing. This combination of uranium-rich geology, extensive mining disruption, and valley geography creates one of Pennsylvania's most significant radon risk areas.
