Tim is a contractor so he is aware that having a radon mitigation system at home is a need. This is his 2nd property and the team needed to get the Iowa Department of Labor Registration to sign the proposal. The home has a small basement and needed to avoid a bumped out window with fan and exhaust, the client's replacing it and has to remove/replace some siding. It also had a small 6x6 crawlspace and an opening in the basement floor to seal with Cleanspace. We got the approval before anything else and the job was perfect!

This project will be a challenging one as a set of expectation. There is a super small portion of the basement that will need an extraction point and small slab that will need a horizontal extraction point that is towards under the stairs. The homeowner will start working from home so she needs all the protection she should get. The challenge was going to be the extraction point from outside the house. The technician will most likely be going to need to run a line through the crawl space hole and out through the far side of that. The good thing is that it is currently covered with clean space but is a tighter fit and uncomfortable. The homeowner didn't want much damage as it would cost her extra to repair and it no longer fits her budget. She was looking to see what the radon system could do before going down and encapsulation avenue. 

Will a Radon Mitigation System Appraise My Home's Value?

This client is preparing to sell their home, knew that high radon levels could attract potential buyers as per recent real estate articles. He knew he had radon but only made the decision today as it helps a property's image to be sold. He also had a home inspection, which advised the same thing. He requested a simple system since his home had an inaccessible crawlspace to begin with. The team installed the system on each side of the block wall in the basement, connected together to go out the patio. It has been proven that a radon mitigation system increases the home's value and attracting more offers.

Trusted Choice for Future-Proof Radon Protection

Sometimes the simplest installs carry the biggest potential. This radon mitigation system is a straightforward up-and-out design, with a soffit penetration as requested. While we weren’t the lowest bid, the homeowner chose us for our reputation, professionalism, and long-term value—something her family appreciated during a sensitive time. With the home currently in a trust and the basement potentially being finished in the future, the extraction point was strategically placed near the HVAC system. This offers flexibility in case the basement is ever divided into separate rooms.

We’re hopeful this project opens the door to helping more family members stay protected with professional radon mitigation.

This home radon levels measured over a whooping 50 pCi/L. I mean there are still higher levels out there, but can you imagine that amount of radon exposure daily? I guess not. The clients had a home monitor, and they barely checked it. When the time came, they heard the news about radon, they were so worried. They just moved in a month ago with a 10-month-old baby girl. This was a 5-point system with the radon fan out the north wall behind their A/C unit.
