Radon Mitigation Before & After Photos

The homeowner was indeed nice and is working as a middle or high school teacher. It was hectic when the team showed up as his two sons needed to leave for practice. The wife was there briefly since they were trusting in what the team needed to do. The technicians had a challenge with their sump lid as it was stuck due to a mix of dirt and concrete. They had a work around to drill holes to perforate the pit liner walls. The system was installed in the garage.

How to Live with Radon? 

This client lives in very old farm house with an unfinished basement used for storage and it was full of cobwebs. We did advise her that it's not healthy keeping it that way. She requested a radon test before starting anything returned with a level of 6.2 in her basement and shocked as she has never tested before. She was feeling nauseous the past few weeks so it bothered her that it might be the high radon levels. She got a free estimate and the team saw that the home had an inaccessible crawlspace on one side, the other side has a garage that is now a finished living space. She had a small porch with conditioned air is slab on grade on front of house. The slab appears to be in good condition and no major cracks. The installation will be a sub slab extraction point on back corner of basement, second point horizontally to pull from old garage, exit house via rim joist, install muffler and route up. She was happy with this decision and will contact us back for duct cleaning!

They were fine locking in the project to enable cost savings. There is a small utility room downstairs which connects to the basement and that is where they want the system placed. This will be an interior system and we'll go up to the garage. It almost looks like the garage was at it on as it is a separate area and does not go flush with the back side of the house. It will be pretty easy to route any PVC in the Attic crawl space of the garage over to the back side of it so you cannot see it from the roadside. The homeowner did mention that there was a possibility in the future of them adding to their bedroom which would mean that we would have to push that exit point of the roof as far as we can. Everything worked out as to how the client requested.

The client was very approachable and suggested a lot. He has a good idea of where the system will go so the team made it happen for him. The crawlspace was a challenge since it's inaccessible. It has an old window for an access point. The team installed a single point system and made it work regardless of the challenge in crawlspace. Client was really happy!

The clients were a nice, retired couple. They invested in this ranch house as their retirement home with a fully finished basement near the lake. Before moving in, they had to test for radon as they have been seeing the need everywhere, especially with elderly... It turned out the levels were high! They called in for Iowa Radon Defense as they don't want to ruin this beautiful summer home and the memories they want to make. The radon mitigation system was a sump pit with no pump. The team utilized the pit for extraction and perforated holes in the side. They had an L-shaped crawlspace, so it was a bit of a challenge. Everything was well done, and they liked it.
