Radon-Rid is committed to protecting the health and safety of our customers and staff.

We have been answering phone and email messages, but we are unable to schedule appointments at this time.
Current COVID-19 Developments
As of today, Pennsylvania has 851 reported cases of COVID-19, with 252 of those in Philadelphia. According to Fox 29, Rachel Levine, the Pennsylvania Health Secretary, has said that the spike is due to new cases rather than expanded testing. The situation has prompted new restrictions in Pennsylvania counties.
Governor Wolf had previously ordered restrictions on schools, theaters, gyms and more in Montgomery County, and has now issued “stay at home” orders for Allegheny, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Monroe, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties.
Governor Wolf has stated, “I remain deeply concerned about this public health crisis and we must continue to take careful but critical steps now to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. We are issuing these orders because Pennsylvanians’ health and safety remain our highest priority.”
