Job Stories

This client had his home radon test return to a level of 10 which alarmed him so much that he immediately made a deposit for his own mitigation system. He is very concerned about the future effects of radon or if it's deemed poisonous at high levels. We definitely explained what he needs to know and set up a plan for his home. Everything went well. 

A Hidden Danger Beneath This client's ranch home, with its finished basement and dirt crawlspace, harbored an invisible threat: radon levels of 13. The only unfinished area was a small HVAC room, with no sump pit, just a wastewater grinder. The client, already facing a lung mass, needed swift action. Plans were made to install a sub-slab extraction point by the water heater, routing into the crawlspace. The joists could have worked for venting, but the insulation, held by chicken wire mesh, complicated things. Instead, two cores would be drilled through the foundation walls. The client would clear out debris beforehand, and we’d encapsulate the space, setting a second extraction point to vent through the soffit. Everything worked out as planned.

This client needed help as he was renovating his basement and tested for radon - his levels retuned 8! He was really worried and didn't want to pursue the construction until a radon mitigation system is installed. He will be using the basement as his utility and project room where he will be spending most of his time. There were no challenges faced in the installation process as there is a dedicated spot for the system initially. 

Nadine's levels tested in at 66 pCi/L in Feb and 58 pCi/L in March. She was very concerned with the extreme levels and understood what needed to happen to get those levels down below 4.0 pCi/L. Our team installed a system with three extraction points and afterward she shared with us, "Lance was very knowledgeable and helpful! They did a great job cleaning up, and I've already referred you to my son!"

Drake had been living in his house for over a decade, and now that he decided to move on, he had plans of putting his house on the market. As a responsible homeowner, Drake had his house inspected, and to his surprise, the radon level was way beyond the safe limit. Drake knew that this was a significant issue, and he needed to resolve it before putting the house on the market. He did a quick Google search, and Radon Defense Midwest popped up. He went through the website and read about their services and was convinced to give them a call.   He contacted the company and spoke to a friendly representative who explained the whole process to him.

Radon Defense Midwest was contacted by a commercial company in Minden, Nebraska. They were concerned with their employees health and saftey and noticing they were going to need our assistance in doing so. Shortly after we were contacted, our General Manager Anthony made a trip to Minden to visit with the concerned owners of the building and provide solutions on how we could help! We created and emplemented the process of providing the duct cleaning service to them as well as our BioEsque treatment which we both agreed was essential to make sure their health was our number one priority. Our lead duct cleaning expert Josh, went out the property and got right to work, he was able to tackle all vents, returns and ducting work throughout the building. During the follow up call with the directors of the building, they expressed how satisfied they were with the work, and were beyond happy they had chose Radon Defense Midwest to get the job done, and done right!

This was an easy install as the homeowner was working in the construction industry before, so he did the most work in drafting how the radon mitigation system installed in his home. The team committed to his request and started from his daughter's bedroom closet running through the floor joists above the drop ceiling. From the crawlspace it would go through the master bedroom and straight shot into his garage. Regardless of the garage not having a ceiling, the crawlspace was very workable. The homeowner insisted on removing the debris and having the ceiling tiles adjusted from the master bedroom to expedite the job. His levels returned 7 pCi/L so there was sense of urgency. Homeowner was really happy with how it turned out!
