A Ranch, a Radon Surprise, and a Plan

After years of peaceful living on their scenic acreage, the homeowners were surprised to learn their ranch-style house was reading 12 pCi/L for radon. With four basement chambers, an old sump pit, and a sunroom crawlspace sitting on dirt, it was clear this home needed a customized solution.

The sump—unused but ready—became the first extraction point. The second would go 15 feet away under the porch slab. The third, tucked in a southwest storage closet. Two fans would carry the load: one exiting by the front AC unit, the other discreetly placed behind the home with access from a bedroom closet.

The family had weathered storms with buckets before. Now, with a sump pump, sealed slab, and fully designed radon system—peace of mind is back.

We have two options with the soffit and exhaust pipes. This customer preferred the external exhaust fan with a soffit penetration aesthetic and roof boot in McCook, NE.

This client of ours was planning to sell their home recognized that radon mitigation would improve its marketability and ensure a successful sale. They do believe in due time all homes in the United States will require a radon mitigation system as part of a safety measure in home inspections. The installation went well and they were really happy on the team cleaned up afterwards.

The client is a real estate agent and is selling her own house. She is aiming to close the home as a sale that is contingent upon getting levels below 4 and she already has a potential buyer. Levels are 19 with this 3-chambered home. It has two large rooms that are slab on grade, then basement. It has no sump pit. The installation will start from the HVAC room as the sub slab extraction point is found there. She will talk to another agent but was wanting this done much sooner and said the buyers are moving from out of state and demanded a post test below 4 prior to moving in. We made it work! She was really happy!

This homeowner really wanted a radon mitigation system but was challenged with the budget as a whole amount. Our team presented some options for her such us our flexible payment plans. She was very happy about it and now she has her own radon mitigation system without breaking the bank!
