Radon Mitigation - Pella, IA

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!

High Radon Levels in Pella, Iowa

This is an interesting layout as homeowner has elevated radon levels so needed two points in their utility room. The closet is where homeowner would like us to talk the interior system in. Piping will most likely go through the right-hand side of the closet - she agreed with that. Looked the access in the garage and there is room for us to come up through the ceiling but there is plywood on the left-hand side when looking up in the attic. We are going to need to core through that plywood through the small Eve section of the house to vent it up and around the roof line. Everything was done perfectly and set of expectations were met with the homeowner.

Reliable Radon Installation Contractor

This family was hesitant to get a radon mitigation system installed as they lived a little far from Central Iowa. Then again, the team wanted to provide an extra mile this holiday season and took the booking. Everything was discussed and the proper set of expectation was provided. The client was happy on how the process was smoothly delivered from start to finish. They had radon levels around 9.0 pCi/L and now down to almost 90% -- 1.3 pCi/L!

Radon Remediation in Newton, Iowa

This is a very straightforward on point system that will be going out of the sump in the bedroom downstairs. It will be running from the something out through the corner of the home along the gutter line. There is an existing discharge that has a small rectangular cut out in the ceiling right where our line will be in the homeowner said that if we needed to make the hole a little larger than she does not have a problem with that in order for us to work properly. She said that they were looking to be moving out of the house within a year or two anyway, she needed the radon mitigation for home value appraisal and made sure she was safe either way.

Radon Mitigation - Charles City, IA

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!
