Michigan radon contractors: territory, leads, and how we work
Radon Connect routes homeowner requests across the Grand Rapids market, covering Kent and Ottawa counties in West Michigan — an EPA Zone 1 area where the state radon program urges every home to be tested.
Michigan does not license radon professionals at the state level, which shifts the vetting burden onto national certification and documented practice. We onboard on that basis rather than assuming a general trade license means anything for radon work.
Licensing expectations in Michigan
Michigan does not license radon professionals at the state level; the state radon program directs homeowners toward nationally certified professionals. We verify current NRPP or NRSB mitigation certification at onboarding, along with proof of insurance and a sample written scope of work. A Michigan builder or general contractor license does not qualify a business for radon mitigation referrals through this platform.
Territory exclusivity
Territories are assigned at the county level: Kent County covering Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood, Grandville and the surrounding communities, and Ottawa County covering Holland, Hudsonville, and Zeeland. A qualified homeowner request is shared with no more than three certified contractors covering that county, and roster size per territory is capped.
How homeowners are qualified before you hear from us
Requests reach you only after a homeowner completes a multi-step form: result band, transaction context, timeline, property type, foundation type, and property ZIP resolved deterministically against our West Michigan territories. Dispatch happens at or above 4 pCi/L, or between 2 and 4 inside an active transaction. Michigan addresses radon through the general Seller’s Disclosure Statement rather than a radon-specific statute, so most transaction requests originate from a buyer’s own inspection-period test.
Service area requirements
Claim only the counties you actually service. Grand Rapids historic districts — Heritage Hill in particular — produce design-led work on brick and stone foundations with finished basements, which is a different job from a Byron Center subdivision retrofit. If you specialize one way or the other, tell us at onboarding so routing matches capability. Lakeshore Ottawa County property adds crawl-space and seasonal-use work.
How to apply
Send your business name, NRPP or NRSB mitigation certification number, proof of insurance, a sample written scope of work, and the counties you serve through the contact page. We verify certification currency before routing anything. No application fee, no monthly charge, no purchased exclusivity — compensation is per referral, disclosed to homeowners site-wide.
Michigan markets
These are the Michigan markets currently routing homeowner requests. Territory assignments are made at the county level inside each market.
Michigan contractor questions
Michigan has no state radon license. How do you vet contractors?
Current NRPP or NRSB certification, which the state radon program points homeowners toward, plus insurance and a written scope of work naming suction points, routing, fan model, sealing, warranty, and a post-mitigation verification test. We check the documentation because the state does not.
Do you route lakeshore and seasonal property?
Yes, through the Ottawa County territory. Those requests often involve crawl-space foundations and intermittent occupancy, which changes both the design and the testing conversation. They are flagged by property and foundation type in the form so you know before you call.
Is territory exclusive?
Capped rather than exclusive — at most three certified contractors per county receive a qualified request. We will not sell sole rights to a county and we will not quote lead volume before a territory has produced any.
