Radon Gas & Your Family's Health Near Harrisburg, Reading, Lancaster
How Radon Will Affect Your Household -- And How To Control It
Radon is a naturally occurring gas that is present in soil, water, and air all over the planet. When present in the earth or water around your home (or in the building materials that make up your home itself), it can lead to serious health risks to all inhabitants of the building.
Because radon is odorless, tasteless, and invisible, the only reliable way to detect it in your home is through reliable radon testing. If an unsafe level of radon is detected in your home, our specialists at M. Webster Construction, Inc. can install a customized radon mitigation system that can reduce your home's radon levels.

"Mike and his team had to come out 3-4 times til the problem was solved..."
Webster was my third attempt at mitigation, despite ONLY using firms listed by PA DEP Radon with certification in Lancaster. The first never returned emails or phone messages. The second promptly came for an estimate but after 2.5 hours said he would come back to finish up the estimate. He never did! Webster was the complete opposite of the typical problems in the service industry. Prompt, professional and cost-effective! If you expand into other areas of residential service and keep that quality alive, you will clean up.
