More detail

For a recent home purchase with a high test result, the recommended first-week sequence: (1) day 1, place the call and book the on-site assessment, (2) day 2-3, on-site assessment confirms scope and produces a fixed-price quote, (3) day 4-5, install (4-8 hours), (4) day 6-7, 48-hour post-install retest with continuous radon monitor. Total time investment from homeowner: about 30 minutes for the initial call, 30 minutes for the on-site assessment, no presence required during install or retest. Total cost: $1,200-$2,400 for typical Cincinnati basement, $1,800-$3,500 for crawl-space. Documentation produced: install warranty paperwork, manufacturer fan spec sheet, post-install verification report (closing-ready), and 12-month follow-up retest scheduled. If the home was purchased with a buyer's radon contingency that included a seller credit for mitigation, the contractor invoice satisfies that contingency. Cincinnati first-week sequence detail: day 1 phone consultation (10 minutes, free, foundation-type triage and price-range estimate). Day 2 on-site assessment (30 minutes, free, written fixed-price quote). Day 3-5 install (4-8 hours typical). Day 6-7 48-hour post-install verification monitor placement and retrieval. Total homeowner time investment: ~30 minutes of presence across the week. Total cost for typical Cincinnati basement: $1,200-$2,400 fixed.
