About North Shore Radon Mitigation

Straight up front: North Shore Radon Mitigation is a local referral service. We are not ourselves a radon contractor. When you call or send the form, we connect you with an independent, Illinois-licensed radon measurement or mitigation professional serving Northbrook, Glenview, Wilmette, and Evanston, and we may be compensated by the professionals we refer. You never pay us anything.

Why does this site exist? Because radon on the North Shore is a real, boring, fixable problem wrapped in confusing information. Cook County's zone map says "moderate" while nearly 30% of professionally tested county homes come back at or above the EPA action level. Most of the housing here predates every radon protection on the books. And the state's licensing system — the thing that actually protects homeowners — is buried in agency websites most people never see. We built this site to lay out the local facts plainly and to route the work to licensed pros who do it right.

What "licensed" means here, and how to check it

Illinois has licensed radon professionals since 1998 under the Radon Industry Licensing Act. A compliant mitigation install carries a tag on the vent pipe with the installer's name, phone number, and license number, and finishes with a verification test. Every professional we refer holds a current Illinois license, and we encourage you to verify any license — theirs or anyone else's — in the state's public lookup before hiring.

What you can expect

A prompt callback, a firm quote before any work starts, and no pressure. If your situation calls for something we don't cover — a free county test kit instead of a paid measurement, for instance — you'll hear that from us directly. A referral service that burns your trust once is worthless, so we don't.
