About Radon Mitigation of York

Local radon know-how, house by house across York County

Dave Kessler runs Radon Mitigation of York out of the county he grew up in, and he's spent his career crawling through the crawlspaces and basements of the same neighborhoods he knows by name — Downtown York rowhomes near the Central Market House, the older stone-and-brick housing stock around West York and North York, and the newer builds out toward Spring Garden Township and Devers. York County sits on limestone and fractured bedrock terrain that's notorious for allowing soil gas to move freely into basements, and that geology doesn't care whether a house was built in 1920 or 2015. Dave's job is to read each house's foundation, soil, and airflow patterns and design a mitigation system that actually matches what's happening underneath it, not a one-size-fits-all pipe stuck in a slab.

What sets this business apart is that Dave still does the site visits himself. He'll walk your basement, check your foundation type — whether it's a sump crock, a slab, or a mix common in older Pinehurst and East York homes — and explain in plain language why radon levels tend to spike here once winter sets in and homes get sealed up tight against the cold, or why humid summer soil moisture can change how a system performs. He's tested and mitigated houses within sight of the York Fairgrounds, near Codorus State Park, and in the tighter lots around the Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center downtown, so he's seen how radon behaves differently block to block, not just county to county.

How it works

What to expect, start to finish

1

1. Initial Radon Test Review and Home Walkthrough

We start by looking at your radon test results and walking the property, whether it's a rowhome in Downtown York, a older stone-and-brick property in West York, or a newer build near Spring Garden Township. York County sits on limestone and fractured bedrock in many areas, which lets soil gas move more freely into basements and crawlspaces, so we check foundation type, sump pit location, crawlspace access, and any cracks or utility penetrations before recommending a system.

2

2. Upfront Quote and System Design

Based on the walkthrough, we design a sub-slab or sub-membrane depressurization system suited to your foundation. Homes in East York and North York with older poured basements often need a different pipe routing than the split-level and crawlspace homes common in Devers and Pinehurst. You get a clear, written quote before any work starts, no surprise add-ons.

3

3. Installation Day

Most installs take a single day. We core through the slab or seal the crawlspace membrane, run PVC piping vertically through an interior closet or up an exterior wall, and install a quiet inline fan. We seal all sump lids, floor cracks, and openings that could let soil gas bypass the system, which matters more here given York's cold winters that keep basements sealed up tight for months and can concentrate radon indoors.

4

4. Fan Startup and Pressure Check

Once the fan is running, we verify the system is pulling negative pressure under the slab or membrane using a manometer, and we walk you through the U-tube gauge so you can visually confirm the fan is working going forward.

5

5. Post-Mitigation Retest Guidance

We recommend a follow-up radon test 2-3 days after installation to confirm levels have dropped, and we're happy to point you toward test kits or short-term monitors so you have documented before-and-after numbers for your own records or for a home sale.

Why York County Homeowners Choose Us

Radon Mitigation Built for York's Housing Stock and Soil

From the older rowhomes near Downtown York to newer builds out toward Spring Garden Township, we've mitigated radon in just about every foundation type York County has to offer. Here's why homeowners from West York to Devers trust us with the job.

We Know York County's Foundations

Between the fieldstone basements common in North York and East York and the slab-on-grade homes near the York Fairgrounds, soil gas moves differently through every foundation type, and our system design reflects that.

Straightforward Scheduling

We're open Monday through Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm, so getting a mitigation system installed doesn't mean taking a week off work.

Systems Built for Real Pennsylvania Winters

Once the humid summers give way to cold winters, homes seal up tight and radon levels often climb. We route and insulate piping to keep systems performing when temperatures drop, not just when they're first installed.

Local to York, Not a Regional Call Center

We're not dispatched out of Harrisburg or Lancaster. We work Downtown York, Pinehurst, Spring Garden Township, and everywhere in between, and we know the local building patterns street by street.

Upfront, No-Surprise Quotes

You'll know the system design and total cost before we drill a single hole in the slab, whether it's a rowhome near Central Market House or a rancher out toward Codorus State Park.

Work You Can See and Verify

Every mitigation system we install is visible and testable. We'll walk you through the manometer reading and piping layout so you understand exactly what's keeping your air clean.

877-552-8556
+ How much does radon mitigation cost in York, PA?
Cost depends mostly on foundation type and how many pipe runs and penetrations are needed. A simple basement with one sump pit costs less than a home with a mixed basement/crawlspace footprint, which we see often in older East York and North York properties with additions. We give you a firm number after the walkthrough, not a phone estimate.
+ Is radon really a problem in York County?
Yes, York County's karst limestone geology and fractured bedrock create natural pathways for radon gas to move up from the soil into basements and crawlspaces. We see elevated readings in older homes near Downtown York and Spring Garden Township as well as newer construction, so foundation age isn't the only factor, soil and bedrock underneath the lot matter just as much.
+ How long does installation take?
Most single-family homes, including the rowhomes common near Central Market House and the split-levels around Pinehurst, take about a day from start to fan startup. Homes with multiple foundation types, like a basement plus a crawlspace addition, sometimes take a bit longer.
+ Will the system be noisy or visible from the street?
The fan itself runs quietly, and we route piping to be as unobtrusive as possible, often up through an interior closet or along the back of the house rather than the street-facing side, which matters in denser blocks around Downtown York and West York where curb appeal and HOA rules can be a concern.
+ Does winter weather affect radon levels or mitigation work?
York's cold winters mean homes stay closed up and heating systems run more, which tends to pull more soil gas indoors and can push radon readings higher from late fall through early spring. We install systems year-round, though sub-slab coring goes faster before the ground freezes solid.
+ Can you install a system before I sell my house?
Yes, this is common for closings on homes near Codorus State Park and throughout Spring Garden Township where buyers request a radon test as part of due diligence. We can turn around installation and provide the pressure readings and retest guidance you need to satisfy a purchase agreement contingency.
+ What are your hours if I need to schedule or ask questions?
We're available Monday through Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm. Call or reach out during those hours and we'll set up a walkthrough.
+ Do I need a mitigation system if my radon test is only slightly above the action level?
That's a conversation worth having in person. We'll look at your specific numbers, your foundation, and how the home is used, whether it's a full-time residence in North York or a property you're prepping to sell, and give you an honest recommendation rather than pushing a system you don't need.
