GFS Radon does one thing: it gets radon out of North Shore basements. The Salem company installs mitigation systems and does radon testing for homes and commercial properties, and says it has 25 years of experience and holds certification in radon testing and mitigation. The record is small but uniformly strong — a 5.0 average across 12 Google ratings, seven written reviews running 2024 to 2026, and two separate Reddit recommendations from Lynn neighbours. In a December 2025 thread a homeowner reported going with GFS and being "Super happy with their work. Reasonable rates, that were clearly explained." What customers describe most is the numbers actually moving. An August 2025 reviewer with a complex basement floor had a multi-point suction system installed and watched radon drop from 7 to 0.9. A March 2024 customer saw levels fall from around 10 to below 2 within twelve hours of the install. A September 2025 reviewer confirmed the result independently against their own continuous monitor. The owner, Ryan, is named in nearly every review, and the follow-through gets its own praise. In a December 2025 account, a customer whose suction fan failed years after the original install said Ryan offered to come out the next day with a replacement. An October 2025 reviewer working a real-estate closing had him onsite within two days and followed up with both buyer and seller once the post-install test results were in — useful if you're mitigating against a purchase-and-sale deadline. And in an April 2026 review, a homeowner had him optimise a system a different company had installed for a previous owner and would not revisit. The licence and insurance claim comes from the company's own website with no number attached, so ask for the certificate and the radon-mitigation certification number before work starts. If you're on the North Shore with a hot basement — especially against a closing date — this is a specialist with a short but consistently good record and a demonstrated habit of standing behind old installs.
“FYI: We ended up going with GFS Radon. Super happy with their work. Reasonable rates, that were clearly explained, and was able to get the work done relatively quickly!”
“My parents just used GFS Radon and highly recommended them! They’re based in Salem https://gfsradon.com/”
Ryan was able to help further mitigate the radon levels in my house after SWAT refused to even attempt to look at it (the system was previously installed by them by a past owner). I highly recommend him for new systems or optimizing old ones, he was a pleasure to work with and did a great job.
Really fantastic. Did a professional initial installation. Then years later, there is an issue with the suction fan and Ryan offered to come out the next day to provide us with another fan. The mark of a great vendor is that they are there for you, years later👍
We have worked with Ryan who is an outstanding professional, He is responsible and caring, we highly recommend his services.
Ryan and his team at GFS did a great job handling a radon issue during a recent real estate transaction. Ryan was onsite within 2 days to assess the problem and quickly and professionally install a mitigation system. He followed up with both buyer and seller to ensure post-install test results were reviewed and that all parties were happy with the result. Would definitely use GFS in the future.
Ryan and his team did excellent work for us. We were concerned due to high radon levels in our basement indicated by a continuous monitor (Air Things). The radon system was installed quickly. It is very effective, confirmed by a radon test and our monitor. Highly recommended.
