David Daniels - NRPP Certification # 115647-RMS 115659-RMP
David has been married to Lucy for 38 years. They have 5
children, ranging in ages from 22 to 37. He started Northeast
Wisconsin Radon Specialists in July of 2000.
Working for a local plumbing and heating company, he went
through classes to become nationally certified for radon mitigation.
The company he worked for decided to move to strictly commercial
projects, leaving David without a job. His boss Terry recommended
starting up a radon company, so he did, also getting certified for
testing. He landed his first install in September that year, then
quickly increased to 2 jobs a week. Some realty agents saw his work and
spread the word of his workmanship, helping his company to grow. The
next year he installed 186 systems.
The following year Chris Voight was hired to help install
systems. With both they installed 350 systems. The work area spread
outside of the northeast area. The company name was changed to Radon
Specialists of Wisconsin and an office in Milwaukee and Sun Prairie was
opened. During the last 5 years of ownership, he also designed and
built homes under Compassion Homes.
Before David sold his company to a national franchise in 2019,
they had installed 1500 systems that year. A non-compete agreement was
signed. David kept in touch with friends in the industry.
David was also a member of AARST, joining in 2003. Through his
reputation he was voted to the national board. In later years becoming
a VP and finally the national president.
Many agents continued to ask David to come back to install
systems. So, after the non-compete expired he decided to get back into
the Radon business with his son Ben as equal partners. The goal is to
build up the business again and hand over ownership completely to Ben
in a few years.

Ben Daniels - NRPP Certification # 107835-RMS 107835-RMP
Ben is single and lives in Neenah. After graduating high school,
he joined Radon Specialists of Wisconsin as a helper. After a learning
from David and the other skilled installers there, he became certified
for testing and mitigation.
After a few years of installing systems on his own, he moved to
Milwaukee with two other employees to expand the service area, working
independently and bringing even more success to the company. There he
gained even more experience working on older buildings of different
styles.
In 2019, Radon Specialists was sold. At the new company, he
worked closely with several builders to establish design and best
practices for radon-safe new construction. In several subdivisions from
De Pere to Oak Creek, every house has a radon system designed,
installed, and tested by him. He was also the troubleshooter sent to
ensure quality and figure out the most difficult installations. Ben
stayed on with the new owners until 2023.
Since then, Ben has worked with David on Compassion Homes, doing
various types of construction and finish work as well as installing the
radon systems.
In 2026, Ben and David are excited to begin a new company, work
for ourselves, and do what we do best.
