Certified Radon Mitigation Contractor

Radon mitigation in Michigan is not a regulated trade. Being radon certified only involves the company or individual to have completed NRPP or AARST training. After passing the exam on those courses they receive a certificate. Most radon companies in Michigan advertise these certificates but lack the proper licenses to work on your home. Since radon mitigation is not regulated by the State of Michigan, companies and individuals are required to follow the construction trade guidelines. In order to charge more than $600 these basic requirements are required.

              - Builder or Trade license

              - General liability insurance and workers compensation for employees

Being a homeowner can be frustrating at times when hiring a contractor. When looking for a certified radon mitigation company always ask for their business license number in Michigan. This number can easily be used to search LARA to verify the business is properly licensed through the State of Michigan. Second, make sure the contractor has the required insurance. Injuries to employees can happen at your home and the burden can fall on the homeowner if the company doesn’t have insurance.

Hiring a certified radon mitigation company with a builder or trade license also comes with many benefits. These companies have had the training to properly work on your home. There are many building codes that must be followed and some cities will require permits when radon systems are installed. Only licensed builders or trades professionals can get the required permits in Michigan. Radon mitigation is more than just running a pipe to the exterior of your home. Most jobs will require holes drilled though your basement slab, rim joist and sometimes your roof. Hiring true professionals is the only way to have a peace of mind when having a radon mitigation system installed.
