You got a number back. It was over 4.0 pCi/L. Now the deal clock is ticking, or your family is asking what 5.2 pCi/L actually means. Either way, you need a straight answer and a permanent fix — not a sales pitch. Radon Eliminator is Ohio's licensed radon authority (Ohio Mitigation License RC202) and we install code-compliant Radon Mitigation Meigs OH systems on a real-estate timeline, not a contractor's calendar.

Meigs County sits in Ohio's Appalachian foothills, and the geology here — fractured shale, limestone bedrock, and clay-heavy soils along the Ohio River basin — is exactly the kind of substrate that pushes radon levels above the EPA action threshold. The EPA places much of southeastern Ohio in Zone 2, meaning indoor radon averages between 2 and 4 pCi/L, with plenty of homes testing far higher. We've seen 12+ pCi/L readings in Pomeroy basements and 8 pCi/L readings in newer crawlspace builds outside Middleport. The fix is the same: a properly engineered active soil depressurization (ASD) system, installed right the first time.

• Ohio-licensed (RC202) — we lead with our license number because Ohio law requires it, and most competitors bury theirs.
• EPA-aligned testing — closed-house protocol, 48-hour minimum, NRPP-certified devices.
• Closing-deadline turnaround — test today, mitigate this week, re-test before your closing date.
• Permanent code-compliant systems — not a fan swap. Sealed, sloped, exhausted above the eave per ANSI/AARST standards.
• Multi-vertical proof — schools, apartment complexes, and commercial buildings across Ohio trust our work. Your basement is the easy version.

We're a full-scope radon company — not a handyman with a fan. Every Meigs County property is different, and our scope reflects that. Here's what we deliver:

Continuous radon monitors (CRMs) deployed under closed-house conditions for 48 hours, with hourly readings, tamper detection, and a signed report your title company and inspector will accept. Pricing is published — no surprise invoices. This is the test buyers' agents request before closing in Pomeroy, Middleport, Racine, Rutland, and Tuppers Plains.

The gold-standard fix. We core through the slab, excavate a suction pit, seal cracks and the sump, and install a sealed PVC riser to a continuous-duty radon fan that exhausts above the roofline. Every system includes a U-tube manometer so the homeowner — and the next homeowner — can verify it's working at a glance.

Plenty of older Meigs farmhouses and river-bottom homes sit on dirt or partial crawlspaces. We install 6–20 mil reinforced vapor barrier, sealed perimeter, and a sub-membrane suction system. It also solves the moisture and musty-smell problem most owners have been ignoring for years.

Ohio Department of Health requires radon testing in licensed schools and childcare facilities. Apartment owners and commercial landlords carry liability when readings exceed 4.0 pCi/L. We design and install multi-point ASD systems sized for square footage, slab configuration, and HVAC interaction — with stamped documentation for your records.

One of the most common concerns we hear: "I don't want a white pipe on the front of my house." We route through garages, interior chases, and rear elevations whenever feasible. Your curb appeal stays intact, and so does your resale value.

Most Meigs County jobs follow the same fast lane. Here's how we collapse the timeline without cutting corners.

Tell us your reading, your foundation type (basement, slab, crawl), and your closing date. We quote within the call. No "we'll get back to you." No bait-and-switch.

A licensed RC202 technician walks the property, identifies sub-slab communication points, plans the riser route, and confirms fan sizing. This is also when we finalize aesthetic routing.

Slab core, suction pit, sealing, riser, fan, electrical, manometer, exterior termination. Most single-family Meigs homes are done in 4–8 hours. We clean up like we were never there.

EPA protocol requires a confirmation test after install. We deploy a CRM for 48 hours and deliver a signed report under 4.0 pCi/L — the document your buyer's agent and lender need to close.

You receive an installation packet with system specs, warranty terms, fan model and replacement schedule, and the post-mitigation test result. This packet transfers to future owners — a real selling point on resale.

Meigs County's radon profile is shaped by Appalachian geology. The Devonian and Mississippian shales beneath Pomeroy, Middleport, Racine, Syracuse, and Rutland naturally release radon as uranium decays. Add a tight, well-insulated modern home — or an older home with a fieldstone foundation — and that gas accumulates indoors. We routinely see elevated readings in:

• Pomeroy — older riverfront homes with stone basements and limited drainage.
• Middleport — slab-on-grade ranches where slab cracks become primary entry points.
• Rutland and Tuppers Plains — rural homes on well water, where radon can also enter through aerated water (rare but worth testing).
• Racine and Syracuse — mixed crawlspace/basement homes that benefit from combined encapsulation and ASD.
• Reedsville and Long Bottom — newer builds with sealed sub-slabs that trap gas without a passive vent.

We also serve the surrounding region — Athens, Gallia, and Vinton counties — and we know Ohio Revised Code disclosure requirements cold. If you're selling, you'll need to disclose known radon levels. A clean post-mitigation report flips that disclosure from a deal-killer into a selling point.

We publish honest ranges because guessing isn't a strategy:

• Standard basement ASD system: typically $1,200–$1,800 installed.
• Slab-on-grade or finished-basement system: $1,500–$2,400 depending on routing complexity.
• Crawlspace encapsulation + ASD: $2,500–$4,500 depending on square footage and membrane spec.
• Pre- or post-mitigation radon test: $145–$195 with signed report.
• Commercial / multi-family: custom quote after site visit.

Financing is available, and we coordinate directly with title companies when mitigation is being paid out of seller proceeds at closing.
