Radon Testing and Mitigation in Oakland County

Elevate Radon Defense provides professional radon services for homes, businesses, rental properties, and real estate transactions throughout Oakland County. Our team handles radon testing, property-specific mitigation, and inspections and repairs of existing systems, with clear explanations at every stage.

We serve homeowners, buyers, sellers, landlords, business owners, and property managers who need reliable information about indoor radon. The goal is to help you understand the measured level, the condition of any existing system, and the next step that fits the building.

Local Radon Services for Different Property Types

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can move from the soil into a building. Because it has no color, smell, or taste, testing is the only way to determine the indoor concentration.

A newer home is not automatically protected, and an older building is not automatically elevated. Foundation design, air movement, openings, additions, and other property conditions can affect how soil gas enters and accumulates.

Elevate Radon Defense offers three core services in Oakland County:



• Radon testing
• Radon mitigation
• Radon system service and repair

Radon Testing With Clear Results

Professional testing provides current information about the property. We select an appropriate measurement location, explain the testing conditions, and review the result with you after the measurement period.

Testing can be valuable during a home purchase or sale, before occupying a lower-level room, after major renovations, or when a property has never been measured. It is also recommended for homes with active or passive mitigation systems.

The EPA recommends fixing a home when the confirmed result is 4 pCi/L or higher. It also recommends considering action between 2 and 4 pCi/L.

Mitigation Designed Around the Building

A mitigation plan should reflect the structure rather than rely on a standard layout. Slabs, basements, crawl spaces, sump areas, additions, and multiple foundation sections may all affect system design.

Our team evaluates accessible conditions and discusses possible suction locations, piping routes, fan placement, discharge points, sealing needs, and service access.

After installation, post-mitigation testing helps determine whether the measured indoor level has been reduced. We also explain how to observe the system indicator and when future testing may be appropriate.

Existing System Inspection and Repair

A system may need service when the fan stops, operating noise changes, piping is damaged, seals deteriorate, or the pressure indicator no longer appears normal. Renovations and foundation work can also affect an older installation.

We review accessible components and explain any apparent issues. Depending on the findings, service may include fan replacement, pipe repair, resealing, warning-device review, or a recommendation for additional testing.

A manometer shows pressure within the piping, not the radon concentration inside the building. Michigan EGLE recommends retesting every two years, including in homes with active or passive systems.

Serving Communities Across Oakland County

Oakland County includes major employment centers, established neighborhoods, lake-oriented communities, rural areas, and expanding residential developments. That variety can create very different foundation layouts and service needs from one property to another.

Our team serves communities such as Troy, Rochester Hills, Royal Oak, Southfield, Farmington Hills, Novi, Pontiac, Waterford, Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, and surrounding areas. We adapt the testing or mitigation plan to the building instead of making assumptions based on the ZIP code.

Official county resources note that the area contains more than 1,400 lakes and numerous streams connected to six major watersheds. Places such as Independence Oaks, Addison Oaks, and other county parks are familiar local references, but local geography cannot predict the radon level in an individual home or business.

Our Service Process

1. Discuss the Reason for Service

Tell us whether the request involves a first-time test, a real estate transaction, an elevated result, an existing system concern, or a renovation. We review any information you already have.

2. Complete Testing or Evaluation

For testing, we place a device in an appropriate area and explain the required conditions. For mitigation or repair, we inspect accessible foundation areas, components, and installation options.

3. Explain the Result or Recommendation

We review the measured level, observed condition, or proposed system in plain language. You can ask questions before approving additional work.

4. Perform the Agreed Service

Our team completes the approved test, installation, or repair. We keep the work focused on the property and confirmed scope.

5. Plan for Follow-Up

Post-mitigation or post-repair testing may be recommended, along with future retesting.

Residential and Commercial Radon Support

Residential properties may include finished basements, walkout lower levels, crawl spaces, or additions built at different times. These conditions can influence testing locations and mitigation planning.

Commercial properties may have larger footprints, several occupied sections, or more complex mechanical operation. We work with owners and managers to develop a service approach based on the building’s layout and use.

Why Property Owners Choose Elevate Radon Defense

Elevate Radon Defense is operated by the same local ownership team behind Elevate Inspection Group. Our background in property evaluation supports a careful, educational approach to radon work.

• Residential and commercial service
• Testing, mitigation, and repair in one place
• Property-specific recommendations
• Clear result and system explanations
• Service for systems installed by other companies

Michigan does not separately license radon contractors. Property owners should ask providers about recognized credentials, work standards, system documentation, warranties, and follow-up testing before choosing a company.
