Radon Be Gone

What Radon Be Gone does

Radon Be Gone is the Columbus, OH operating brand of Protect Environmental, a privately-held indoor-environmental services firm. Founded in 2006, the company specializes in radon testing, mitigation system installation, and ongoing maintenance for residential properties across Central Ohio, and extends commercial radon testing, mitigation, OM&M (operations, maintenance, and monitoring), vapor intrusion services, and new-construction soil gas control on a nationwide basis. Core technology is soil depressurization — extraction of radon-laden sub-slab air via piping and fans with sealing of entry points — delivered as a customized system per property rather than a packaged product, and typically installed in one business day under a guarantee that post-mitigation levels measure below 4 pCi/L (the EPA action level) or are adjusted at no extra cost.

The business model is fundamentally field-service driven: licensed estimators visit properties for assessment and quote generation, then NRPP-certified technicians perform installations. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees set on a custom quote basis (the company itself flags being $150–$200 above some competitors), supplemented by crawl space encapsulation, sump pump replacement, and DIY test kit distribution via Radata.com. Financing is offered through GreenSky at 0% APR for 24 months, signaling intent to convert price-sensitive mitigation jobs. Go-to-market runs through the protectenvironmental.com website, a nationwide 877 phone line, ZIP-code-based radon risk search content, and American Lung Association co-branding for top-of-funnel awareness, with Google reviews (4.9 over 232 reviews) functioning as the primary mid-funnel trust signal.

Operationally, the firm employs 11–50 people, is led by General Manager Shad Evans at the 5220 Westerville Rd, Columbus location, and operates with no external disclosed funding. Its competitive position rests on local brand equity, certification-driven quality control, and a service portfolio that spans consumer, small business, and enterprise/builder channels — though technology itself is industry-standard rather than proprietary, and the company is explicitly local in residential scope while only nationally scaled in commercial.

Direct peers

• SWAT Environmental: National radon testing and mitigation franchise operating a comparable soil-depressurization install and test business across multiple U.S. regions; the most direct head-to-head competitor for residential radon mitigation.
• AARST (American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists) member firms (e.g., local NRPP-certified operators): The trade body through which most residential radon mitigation providers in Ohio are NRPP-certified; member-firm operators offer the same NRPP-certified testing and mitigation service to homeowners in overlapping Ohio/Columbus zip codes.
• Radon Measurement & Mitigation (regional Ohio operators): Regional radon testing and mitigation providers (including those listed through radon.com) that compete for the same Central Ohio residential and light-commercial mitigation work.

Emerging players

• EnviroSafe Environmental Solutions: Advisory and solutions provider with exposure to indoor air quality, radon awareness, and home environmental services; relevant as an adjacent player whose consumer base overlaps.
• Airthings: Consumer radon monitor hardware maker; complementary rather than head-to-head, but competes for the DIY testing step before a professional mitigation purchase decision is made.
• CleanSpace Environmental (crawl space encapsulation): Crawl space encapsulation specialist whose services overlap directly with Radon Be Gone's crawl-space encapsulation add-on; competes for the same retrofit job.
• ACR Homes / regional basement waterproofing & sump pump services: Basement waterproofing, sump pump, and crawl-space service providers; complement/compete for adjacent services (sump pump replacement, encapsulation) bundled into radon mitigation jobs.

Others

• Radata (DIY test kit partner): DIY radon test-kit provider already partnered with Protect Environmental/Radon Be Gone; comparable as an upstream channel in the radon testing funnel.

Broad incumbents

• Haley & Aldrich: Large environmental and geotechnical engineering firm with a dedicated vapor-intrusion practice; competes in the commercial vapor-intrusion measurement, mitigation, and OM&M segment that Radon Be Gone's commercial arm targets.
• Tetra Tech: Global environmental consulting firm with vapor-intrusion and indoor-air-quality practices; relevant competitive set for the commercial and new-construction radon/vapor intrusion work.
