For this lovely family, radon mitigation was one of their keys to a healthier life. After installation, they noticed an immediate improvement in their well-being, with fewer respiratory issues and a newfound sense of security in their radon-free home. They had their first radon mitigation system with us last year and wanted to install another one since they had built an extension for their home. 

Radon Mitigation and Crawlspace Sealing Transform an Older Home’s Air Quality and Comfort

After struggling for months with a nagging cough, a homeowner decided to investigate the air quality in her older home. Testing revealed elevated radon levels, especially near her bedroom. With a small basement, two deep crawlspaces, and cold floors, a comprehensive plan was set in motion. A three-point mitigation system was installed — two extraction points in the crawlspaces and one through the concrete slab. The slab-on-grade section, already vented, didn’t require additional work. Crawlspaces were sealed and insulated, addressing both radon and her chilly floors. Minor debris was removed with the help of dumpsters. Beyond radon reduction, cleaning the home’s ductwork brought noticeable improvements. Today, her home feels warmer, healthier, and finally provides the peace of mind she’d been hoping for.

A New Home, an Unexpected Risk as per Realtor

A recent homebuyer never expected radon to be an issue. During a routine home inspection, their realtor recommended a radon test, just to be safe. The results revealed elevated radon levels, putting their health at risk. Wanting to protect their family, they reached out to us for a professional radon mitigation system. Our team successfully reduced the radon to safe, breathable levels. Now, this homeowner enjoys their new space with peace of mind, knowing their family is safe from this invisible, cancer-causing gas. Their experience is a reminder that every home should be tested for radon.

This is an interesting project as the layout of the home was a reno (renovation). There is a thin utility strip across the center of the basement. Half is finished and the rest is crawlspace. If you go on the left side of the utility strip, the sump pit needs to be crawled to in order to seal it up. Not a super comfortable thing to have to do but is about 8-10 feet crawl. From the outside of the home, the exit hole will need to be on the shorted park of the home toward the porch. Mainly wanted protection from exposure because they're getting a radon mitigation system. Inside this relates to needing to exit somewhere in the crawl space, some concerns still needed a fix. We offered the homeowner a crawlspace encapsulation and will have this considered in the future!

This customer did a series of radon testing and bounced between 15-17 which triggered him wanting to get a mitigation system installed as soon as possible. He was very happy with the work and mentioned our lead techs were nice!
