Radon Defense Midwest Before & After Photos

This homeowner with a tight crawl space was concerned about radon levels since they are not able to reach in. Radon Defense Midwest was able to install a custom radon mitigation system in the crawl space, reducing radon levels to safe levels throughout the home.

This was a big old farm house and when the team saw the home's structure, it was indeed a challenge installation a radon mitigation system or ERV. As they will need to core through the brick exterior, they will have also need to cut some ceiling out in various locations to run ERV ducts over the HVAC and interior walls. This was fully explained to the customer and they definitely agreed. The team made sure no further breaking will be needed and it will not be damaging the home's aesthetic. We have done proper crawlspace encapsulation and ERV installation for his basement. The basement wasn't really livable but since his dogs mostly stay there, he wants to get them protected from any radon exposure. Everything went well!

Is Radon Mitigation Effective?

Radon mitigation was the priority of this couple after they retired. They wanted to live a healthier life and made sure their home was clean from radioactive elements or toxins. They also availed a crawlspace encapsulation as they were aware critters were coming out of nowhere. They were very accommodating and nice. They did request to have the installation done in the living room. So the point of installation started from the living room corner going through the block wall and the exit point near the crawlspace opening on the north side. They were happy with the outcome!

This was a simple installation and the client found us through good reviews in Google. He wanted radon mitigation and duct cleaning on the spot along with paying for everything too. It was a 2-point system out the south wall west of the basement egress. The team ran the pipe outside the home to the west side where the radon fan will be located. The home was small and on a single level with good access to the crawlspace. Everything turned out fine and the client was really happy!

Upon doing a radon test, we discovered they had high radon levels. In effort to reduce the radon levels and create a healthier home, we encapsulated the crawlspace in Clarkson.
