Custom Radon Mitigation and Crawlspace Encapsulation Designed to Preserve Home Aesthetics and Air Quality

This project required multiple visits and careful planning, as the homeowners were highly particular about both aesthetics and performance. The final solution included two custom radon mitigation systems. The first system involved encapsulating a crawlspace and running a suction point through the rim joist into a sump on the opposite wall. Routing was planned carefully to preserve the home's appearance, with the discharge venting neatly over the eave. The second system was installed on the opposite side of the house after detailed discussions around pipe placement and existing waterproofing. Additional sealing was done around the basement perimeter, using grey caulking as requested. Despite the home's complex layout, the final system was designed to protect both the home's health and its visual appeal.

It started with an inaccessible crawlspace which became quite a burden for the team. Then, they came up with a work around and installed with a 1 sub slab extraction point. There were no issues at all. Client was happy how it turned out as they were planning this for a long time. They wanted to protect their home and family from the high radon exposure since they tested their home and came back with high radon levels.

Iowa Family Takes Preventive Action with Professional Radon Mitigation

Wanting to take proactive steps toward a healthier home, a family decided to invest in professional radon mitigation. They understood that reducing potential radon exposure is one of the preventive measures they could take to protect their household and improve indoor air quality. A professional radon mitigation system was installed to safely reduce radon levels and provide long-term protection. The family wanted to address the concern now rather than wait for a potential problem to become more serious.

Radon Mitigation and Testing in Earling, Iowa

This was a friendly client with a huge fluffy dog that welcomes the team upon arrival at the home. She has done a DIY radon test which resulted to 10 pCi/L and wanted to check her options to have a simple system that could protect her from exposure. She is also concerned about the welfare of her furbaby. The team has discussed options for the client and the installation would start from the closet then up and out or go up into the main level closet moving outside. The client is very flexible with either options handed out to her. 

This home's radon tests returned to elevated levels and the homeowner did not hesitate to get a radon mitigation system of her own. Her home is quite unique as it had a basement with a sub-basement. The lowest is unfinished. It was a smooth installation!
