Ask for Colin and Radon West. The guy is meticulous and clean. The install took about 6 hours, and the main hole was cored through my existing sump pump location and then I bought a new sump pump cover (with a pre-formed access hole for the piping) from them (everything looks neat and tidy). For testing they drilled 1 hole 1/2" diameter at most - under my stairs (but sometimes they like to do 3 or 4 holes depending on your house). He put some fill in the hole and you can't even really tell. If your basement is finished they can often pull up a bit of carpet and you don't even know they drilled a hole.
My understanding is since most newer houses have a good amount of gravel under them, these systems are incredibly effective with minimal effort.
