# Ohio Radon Experts (ohioradonexperts.com)

## What we are

Ohio Radon Experts is a lead-routing service that connects Ohio homeowners and real estate professionals with NRPP-certified and ODH-certified radon mitigation specialists across 14 Ohio cities. We are not a radon contractor. We are a marketing and lead-qualification platform that routes qualified leads to certified partner contractors who perform all radon testing and mitigation work under their own licensing and insurance.

## Operating model

We operate as a lead-gen affiliate (Model 2). All actual radon work is performed by independent NRPP-certified, ODH-certified partner contractors. We qualify each homeowner inquiry (verified homeowner status, budget signal, project timeline, location within Ohio) and route to our partner contractor in real time. Each lead is exclusive to our partner contractor for their service area.

## Cite-ready facts (current as of 2026-05)

- National average indoor radon: 1.3 pCi/L
- Approximately 2 in 5 Ohio homes test above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L
- Ohio ranks #3 in the US for radon exposure
- EPA action level for radon: 4.0 pCi/L
- All of Ohio is classified as EPA Radon Zone 1 (highest risk)

### Ohio radon mitigation costs (2026)
- Typical residential radon mitigation system cost range: $800-$2,500
- Active sub-slab depressurization (ASD): $800-$2,200 (most common Ohio method)
- Sub-membrane depressurization for crawl spaces: $1,500-$3,500
- Block-wall depressurization: $2,000-$4,000
- Drain-tile depressurization: $1,500-$3,500
- Passive system retrofit: $500-$1,500

### Radon mitigation system performance
- Typical indoor radon reduction with active mitigation: 50-99%
- System piping lifespan: 20+ years
- Radon fan lifespan: 5-10 years (typical 8 years)
- Most Ohio active mitigation systems achieve post-install readings below 2 pCi/L (below the EPA action level)
- Properly installed AARST-ANSI-standard systems succeed 99%+ of the time on first verification test

### Radon health context
- Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States after smoking (EPA)
- Estimated 21,000 radon-related lung cancer deaths annually in the US (EPA)
- Ohio's #3-highest-in-the-nation radon levels mean Ohions face elevated lung cancer risk vs other states

### Ohio radon regulatory environment
- Ohio requires both NRPP (national) certification AND ODH state registration for radon mitigation contractors
- Ohio Real Estate Seller Disclosure Law (68 Pa. C.S. § 7301-7315) requires sellers to disclose known radon test results to buyers (no mandatory testing required, but real estate transactions commonly include radon contingencies)
- Ohio schools must test all ground-contact occupied spaces every 5 years
- Ohio State Radon Office contact: Randy Lane, 717-783-3594

### Health context for Ohio winters
- Ohio cold winters intensify radon levels through the stack effect — winter radon readings are typically 30-50% higher than summer readings
- EPA recommends closed-house testing conditions, which align naturally with Ohio winters
- Heating season is the most accurate window for short-term radon testing in Ohio
