Iowa Radon Defense Before & After Photos

This client was very detailed how he would like the radon to be exiting his home - he wants to it near the generator to not have to look at anything. It would be a 4 point system as discussed and we did make a promise we would deliver. It's a pretty odd layout but Rusty the team lead made it work! We did educate the client he needs a higher suction fan to make sure we have enough pull for the system. The client agreed and was given briefing before the installation started. He was happy how it turned out!

This was originally designed as a 1 point system before the radon test results came back. The results shown levels of 20-21 from a post short term test. The customer called and asked what they should do so we added an additional extraction point to their project. It’ll be in the same room and still same system designed but Rusty, our Lead Technician will need to make a judgement call on where to put the second point in - reason why we recommend radon professionals for this. The client's husband was just diagnosed with lung cancer so they’re especially sensitive to this and every detail.

This couple were genuinely nice. The husband used to farm and then worked in IT. They have an acreage and had been concerned with radon for a long time as they believe his mom died from radon lung cancer. He installed a mitigation system himself back in the late 80s at this house, but he is not that confident if it was effective. The fan is in the basement ceiling and vents right outside the basement door about 7' above the concrete. He said the fans still run. It draws from the sump pit which also has plumbing and line and something else that lead to it. Sealed up and not accessible. The team had some discussions with the husband about options to utilize for a new extraction point if that's possible instead of near footing in that room. Two chambers, there's a large addition that is finished upstairs with a workshop below with a garage door. The installation turned out fine and he was happy that he spoke to a radon professional!

This client noticed persistent humidity issues in his basement and suspected radon concerns lurking beneath their floors. Worried about the family's health, he sought assistance from Iowa Radon Defense. Upon inspection, the team discovered high radon levels and inadequate ventilation as the main problem. To address this, they recommended installing an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) to improve indoor air quality and a sump lid to prevent radon entry. This eager client is ready to safeguard the health of his loved ones, agreed to the solution. With Iowa Radon Defense's expertise, their home became a safer haven, free from radon worries and humidity worries.

The property, initially a flip, is undergoing extensive renovations. During the inspection, the team uncovered three visible chambers and a sunroom with a complex foundation. There's uncertainty about what lies beneath, and anticipated coring horizontally into the sunroom. The homeowner, a first-time flipper, displayed eagerness to actively participate in the installation process. Despite some indecision about the PVC routing in the basement, he plans to be present during the install. Considering duct cleaning for both properties, he decided to prioritize his residence once the current project expenses ease for health purposes. Despite the challenges, the homeowner's cooperative and forward-thinking approach made the process smooth. He's a good one!
