Why Cronus is better
Cronus Radon Systems makes the installation process quick, easy, clean,
and we do it at the best price!
Because quality and results are our first priority, we use the best tools and the best parts available.
We exclusively use premium quality Fantech or Radonaway radon mitigation fans on all of our systems, and mitigation system specific, soft rubber LDVI vibration isolating fan couplers. Not the hardware store plumbing couplings that are typically used.
Better equipment means a better installation.
We a use wet diamond concrete coring machine, so that there’s no dust, and very little noise when we drill through concrete. It’s very delicate and precise, while being very fast at coring even a 12”+ stem wall with rebar reinforcement.
The standard mitigator tool is a rotary hammer, which is basically like it sounds, a spinning jackhammer. They’re really loud, make tons of dust, aren’t very fast, sound like your house is being torn down, and can’t go through steel rebar. Which means time wasted to cut the rebar (which can be a very difficult feat), and an ugly hole.
We use better equipment.
The benefits of cleanliness, time saved, and the health safety of our Techs more than make up for the equipment expense.
Our core equipment is clean, fast, delicate, and goes through rebar like butter.
It’s so dust free, that our Techs don’t even have to wear a respirator while drilling, and you don’t have to worry about a coating of dust throughout your house!
The time we can save doing something simple, like drilling a hole, allows more time dedicated to every other important aspect of your radon mitigation system installation.
When you talk with other companies ask them if they will guarantee levels below 4 pci/l, if they’re NRPP Certified, if they plan on using the proper approved materials, or if they have a lifetime warranty on the system.
There is really not much fundamental difference in the various methods that radon mitigation systems can be installed. If you pay a lot or a little does not change the basic scope of work that will be required to make the system work properly. There is nothing that can be that special, or parts that can be used, to justify a very expensive estimate.
Yes, thicker vapor barrier material will cost more, bigger fans cost more, multiple systems will cost more, more square footage usually will cost more, but there is nothing you’ll get out of paying an over the top premium.
We all use the same part distributors, and mitigation systems only work in so many ways. On the other hand, a very low estimate may skimp on quality of materials, aesthetics, and time they’re willing to invest if things don’t work right the first time, etc.
On the right are the two types of 4” PVC fitting sizes available. On the left is Schedule 20/35 (from a poorly installed, non performing system that we replaced), and on the right is Schedule 40. The thinner parts are not used because they’re better, they’re used because they’re cheap. They only cost about 1/3 the of the parts we use, and what is required for a radon mitigation system to meet AARST Standards.
If your radon mitigation system was installed with the weak parts on the left, it was not installed to Standard. It doesn’t mean that it’s not working, but it indicates that whoever installed it is not really concerned with how long your system lasts, and likely invested the least amount possible.
It’s likely not coincidental that most of the systems we have to replace are built with Schedule 35 pipe
We’ll match or beat any other reasonable offer! - And we only bill the first half of the invoice until we have confirmed radon levels below 4pci/l.
Plus, we’ll install a quality system (that looks good), built with quality AARST approved materials, a dedication to true low radon levels, and we’ll get it installed quickly.
Cronus Kills Radon!
For a radon mitigation company, it only seemed more than suiting to take the name of the Titan that destroys Ouranos. (Uranus -> Uranium )
If you know Greek Mythology, you know exactly what we’ll do about your radon problem!
