Sources & Methodology

How we build listings

  • Credential data comes from public state and national lists, re-checked on a schedule. Each listing shows the date it was last checked.
  • Details like services, warranty length and posted prices come from the installer’s own website, with a link to the page.
  • If we couldn’t find something, we leave it blank. We never estimate an installer’s price.
  • RadonCosts is independent. Installers can’t pay to change their credential status or homeowner reports.
