Tips for Competitive Pricing
Offer tiered packages (e.g., basic, standard, premium).
Include warranties or follow-up testing to add value.
Bundle services (e.g., testing + mitigation) for convenience.
Educate clients on the health risks of radon to justify your pricing.
Why Insurance Matters for Pricing
When pricing your radon mitigation services, it’s essential to factor in the cost of business insurance. Radon mitigation involves working in homes and commercial buildings, modifying structures, and handling health-related risks. That’s why having the right insurance coverage is not just smart—it’s necessary.
Here are the key types of insurance you should consider:
General Liability Insurance – Protects your business from claims related to property damage or bodily injury caused during your work.
Commercial Auto Insurance – Covers vehicles used for transporting equipment, materials, or employees to job sites.
Commercial Property Insurance – Safeguards your office, warehouse, or storage space against fire, theft, or natural disasters.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance – Required in most states if you have employees; it covers medical expenses and lost wages due to work-related injuries.
Equipment Insurance – Protects your radon fans, diagnostic tools, and other gear from damage or theft.
At Wexford Insurance, we specialize in helping radon mitigation businesses find tailored coverage through our radon mitigation insurance program. We work with carriers who understand the environmental services industry, so you get protection that fits your business—not a generic policy.
