Radon testing and mitigation protect your family from a colorless, odorless gas that can build up inside basements and living spaces. We measure your home’s levels with calibrated monitors and follow proven methods to reduce exposure. The result is healthier air and long‑term peace of mind. We serve Alliance, Canton, Massillon, and North Canton and the surrounding communities. To schedule, call 330-823-8461.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps through soil, cracks, sump pits, and foundation joints. Because you cannot see or smell it, the only way to know your level is to test. Our team places continuous radon monitors or approved short‑term devices in the lowest livable level and records results under closed‑building conditions for reliable, decision‑ready data.
Homeowners commonly test during real estate transactions, after finishing a basement, or when they want confidence that their indoor air is safe for long stays at home.
Long‑term exposure to elevated radon is a serious health risk. The EPA identifies radon as a leading cause of lung cancer for non‑smokers. Testing gives you facts. Mitigation reduces your exposure and supports healthier breathing, better sleep, and confidence in the air your family shares. If you are working on broader air improvements, explore our indoor air quality options to complement radon reduction.
If your test shows elevated levels, we design a mitigation system tailored to your home. Most homes benefit from sub‑slab depressurization, which gently pulls soil gases from beneath the foundation and vents them safely outdoors above the roofline. We seal accessible entry points, install a quiet in‑line fan, and route durable PVC piping with clean, professional workmanship.
Harding Heating and Cooling is state‑licensed by the Ohio Department of Health to perform radon testing and mitigation. That means your system is designed and installed by a qualified team that follows accepted standards and best practices. After installation, we provide a post‑mitigation test so you can see the improvement in writing.
Care tips: keep the fan powered at all times, check the U‑tube gauge monthly, and retest every two years or after major renovations. If you are also prepping for comfort upgrades, our air conditioning services and seasonal tune‑ups pair well with a healthy home plan.
Every property is different, so we match the solution to your structure. Traditional basements, split‑levels, and homes with finished lower levels often use a sub‑slab system with a sealed sump lid and neat piping to the exterior or attic. Crawl spaces may require specialized sealing and a venting approach that keeps the liner intact and durable for the long term.
We also handle unique situations. Block‑wall depressurization can help when hollow masonry acts as a radon pathway. Slab‑on‑grade additions may need separate suction points. When homes have multiple foundation types, we balance airflow across zones so one area does not backfeed another. We support:
In this region, many homes sit over glaciated soils and clay‑rich tills that can trap soil gases. Cold‑season stack effect and frequent pressure swings can pull radon inside through hairline cracks, sump crocks, and utility penetrations. Older homes with block foundations and newer, tighter envelopes alike can both see elevated readings, especially during long heating stretches.
Because winters are long and basements are common, proactive testing and right‑sized mitigation deliver consistent results season after season. **For expert Radon Testing & Mitigation across Northeast Ohio, trust Harding Heating and Cooling.**

Radon is a radioactive gas that moves from soil into homes through gaps in foundations and slabs. You cannot see or smell it. Testing shows your actual level so you can decide on next steps with confidence.
Test at least every two years, after major renovations, or after finishing a basement. If you have a mitigation system, keep the fan running and confirm performance with a follow-up test on the schedule we provide.
Many homeowners choose to act at or above the EPA’s recommended action level of 4.0 pCi/L. We review your results, discuss your goals, and design a right-sized system for your home.
Typical systems install in one day. The in-line fan hums quietly outdoors or in an attic, and we route piping to blend with your home. You will have a simple gauge to confirm the fan is working.
