SWAT Radon Mitigation

SWAT Radon Mitigation works out of 141 Parker St in Maynard and is hired for one thing: getting radon out of Massachusetts basements. Customers who write about them describe a narrow, repeatable job — a quote by phone, a scheduled visit, a suction pipe and fan installed in one to three hours, and a follow-up reading. The track record on file runs from 2025 to 2026 and is deep for a single trade: 106 reviews across three sources, with Google publishing 4.9 stars from 129 ratings. The praise is unusually consistent about speed and tidiness — reviewers report appointments within the same week, technicians who call ahead, and cleanup that leaves the basement as they found it. Several give numbers rather than adjectives: one homeowner went from 8–12 pCi/L to 0.99, another from over 10 to 0.3 in a day, another from 9–12 to under 1. Named people recur across the reviews — Ken on the phone, and installers Jon, Josh, Chris, Rob, Connor and William — which is a sign of a stable crew rather than a rotating roster. What to ask about before booking is the guarantee and the follow-up. A 2026 reviewer whose post-install test rose said they were told the company makes no guarantee to a 3.9 reading and that a return visit would carry a $250 service fee. Two other 2026 reviewers describe a technician leaving without finishing — one adding that customer service would not discuss the job until it was paid in full. Those are three accounts inside a large, overwhelmingly positive set, but they are recent and specific, so get the target radon level, the retest process and the cost of a return visit in writing before work starts. Pricing is the other thing homeowners keep raising, and mostly in this company's favour: reviewers say the quote came in well under competitors, and a Reddit commenter in r/boston reported a completed job at about $1,800. Confirm the quote covers the electrical connection and any second suction point, since one reviewer noted they still needed separate electrical work.
