Badger State Radon

For Wisconsin Real Estate Agents and Home Inspectors

You are the person in the deal who sees the radon number first. When a transaction test comes back at or above 4.0 pCi/L, your buyer or seller has a contingency window measured in days and a question you have answered a hundred times: who can install a system before closing? This page exists so you have a standing answer. Badger State Radon is a free referral service that connects Wisconsin buyers, sellers, and homeowners with independent local radon mitigation professionals, statewide, usually the same day. We are not a contractor, we pay no referral fees and charge none, and your client is never obligated to hire anyone we introduce.

Why radon keeps landing on your inspection reports

Wisconsin is one of the more radon-prone states in the country. about one in 10 homes statewide tests above the EPA action level, 26 of the 72 counties in Wisconsin are EPA Radon Zone 1, and the southern tier runs highest: in some areas of Waukesha, Washington, and Dodge counties, WI DHS estimates as many as 60% of homes could have main-floor radon above EPA guidelines, per WI DHS. In much of the state a radon line on the inspection report is not the exception, it is the base rate. The EPA's Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide to Radon is the reference most agents hand to clients; our Wisconsin radon guide covers the state-specific picture.

What the quote does for your timeline

The fix itself is rarely the problem. An active sub-slab system is frequently a one-day install, and WI DHS estimates a contractor-installed system typically runs $1,000 to $2,000. The problem is the search: every day a client spends calling around is a day off the contingency. When you send a client to us, or submit the form for them with their permission, we connect them with an independent local radon professional who serves that county, so the quote, the install, and the confirming retest can fit inside the window. The transaction mechanics, disclosure under Wis. Stat. ch. 709, who pays, escrow options, are laid out on radon mitigation at a home sale, with buyer-side detail in the guide to a failed radon test during a home inspection and seller-side detail in selling a house with high radon.

What to send

Three facts get a useful quote on the first pass: the city or county, the closing or contingency date, and the test result. Add the foundation type if you know it, since basement, slab, and crawl space designs differ. Use the form below, or have the client call (608) 567-4439. There is nothing to sign up for and no account to create.

Where we draw the line

Two things we deliberately do not do. We do not vouch for any professional's credentials: Wisconsin has no radon license, NRPP and NRSB are voluntary, and your client should review qualifications directly. And we do not pay or accept referral fees with agents or inspectors; how we are paid is documented on how we make money. Both lines exist so that using us never puts you in the position of having endorsed a contractor you have not worked with.

Send a transaction our way

City or county, closing date, test result. Free, statewide, no obligation for you or your client.

When you submit this form, your information is shared with the independent local radon professional we send your request to, for the purpose of following up on your radon testing or mitigation request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you pay referral fees to agents or inspectors?

No. We pay nothing to agents or inspectors, and we charge nothing to you or your client. Our revenue comes from the independent radon professionals we connect consumers with, as described on our how-we-make-money page. That keeps the arrangement clean on your side: you are pointing a client to a free referral service, not participating in a fee.

Do you perform the mitigation work or employ the contractors?

Badger State Radon is a marketing and referral service operated by Compass Camper LLC, doing business as Compass Lead Group. We do not test, inspect, or install anything, we employ no contractors, and we hold no radon certification. The professionals we connect clients with are independent local businesses, and your client evaluates their qualifications and quotes directly.

Which parts of Wisconsin do you cover?

Statewide, anchored on Madison and Dane County and reaching across central and western Wisconsin, including Eau Claire, La Crosse, Wausau, Stevens Point, Janesville, and Fond du Lac. If a transaction is somewhere else in the state, send it anyway. The referral depends on which independent professionals serve that county.

Does Wisconsin license radon contractors?

No. Wisconsin does not license radon measurement or mitigation professionals, so it is an open market. The two voluntary national credentials are the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) and the National Radon Safety Board (NRSB). We never claim or imply a credential for anyone, and your client should review qualifications directly with the professional we send them to.

Is my client obligated to hire whoever we send them to?

No. The quote is free and carries no obligation. Your client compares the quote, the design, and the timeline themselves, and they can decline or get other bids. On a contingency clock the value we add is speed to a first qualified conversation, not exclusivity.
