Iowa Radon Defense Before & After Photos

This project was virtually so the project specialist was not able to do an inspection and only able to see via Facetime what home looked like. Homeowner's husband had been dealing with lung issues recently and they are very concerned about radon levels as well as indoor air quality. They tested for radon and the levels were at a 5-6 but also have a crawlspace. The crawlspace was covered up with cardboard and heat tape so was not able to see inside it. The team was told that there was 2 feet of room to crawl in there as it was a deck conversion. The homeowner also requested to have this encapsulated for further protection. They also added a Breathe EZ for peace of mind. Everything went well!

This installation was a simple 1-point system where we can run the extraction point from the plumbing stack and route it over to where their jar events are venting out. The client also lets the team know that there's some pump was not working and was looking to just have us complete that when we sealed it up. She had a radon test and returned with high levels. She is concerned for her kids and family's well-being.

This was a virtual appointment due to the weather so the team has no idea what the house looks like. That being said this was pretty much a service call for the homeowner's radon fan only and nothing else. The homeowner told me that the fan had been making these weird and crazy noises on and off for the past year and it was finally time for him to get this taken care of. Should be pretty simple and straight to the point just replacing the piping and the old radon fan.

Protecting a Growing Family from Radon

The client had recently learned about radon from a friend and decided to test their home. To their surprise, the levels were well above the EPA’s recommended limit. Concerned about the long-term health effects, especially for their two young children, they decided to act immediately. They contacted a radon mitigation company to install a system. After the installation, follow-up tests confirmed radon levels were significantly reduced, providing the family with peace of mind. The client was relieved to know their home was now a safe place for their children to grow up.

The technician made a work around for this home as the crawlspace was really tight and the homeowner wanted a single point system. Gladly, there was a sump basin to start with into the soffit. This was discussed with the client and there was a need of drilling an additional hole for the system to fit, client wasn't happy about it but didn't have much of a choice as the draft discussed was not possible due to the truss being there in the attic. The situation was settled, and the client was happy on how it turned out!
