Job Stories

Bill and Sharon's son recently rejoined them in their family home, moving into the basement. Knowing their son would spend a significant amount of time there, the Papillion couple began to worry about radon levels in their basement. Sure enough, a test exposed high radon levels. With Bill's retirement right around the corner and Sharon's health history, the family decided radon mitigation was best for them all. Luckily, our team was able to install a single-suction mitigation system and reduce the Papillion home's radon levels significantly, making it safer for Bill, Sharon, and their son.  

Homeowners often find out about radon for the first time when their home is inspected as part of a sale or check-in from a housing authority group. For Sebrina and Arjan, it was a tribal council that tested their home and recommended radon mitigation. The Winnebago homeowners found relatively love levels, ranging from 4.1 pCi/L to 5p Ci/L, but wanted to lower them as much as possible. They were concerned about their children, whose bedrooms are in the basement.  We installed a simple, quiet, and aesthetic mitigation system to ease the Winnebago couple's radon level and their worry without waking their children or disrupting their home.

These were one of our delicate customers as the main reason they got a radon mitigation system is because part of the homeowner's lung has been removed. He is entirely sensitive to anything that can attack his respiratory system or as simple as his breathing. The wife is overly concerned about radon at home, so they had to test, the reading came out to 30 pCi/L which was not good. They immediately booked an installation in the closest possible time and date. The team found a room for 3 extraction points and the point starts between the lift station and stack in storage closet. Second point was from the closet going to the bathroom and third point will be from the other closet with the bathroom that has a floor drain. Before the team started everything was identified and explained to both homeowners and all sets of expectations were laid down. They agreed and gave the go signal and everything was smooth as silk! They also threw in an addition of Breathe EZ filter and duct cleaning for extra protection. 

Beth recently purchased her townhouse in Blair and is renovating the entire home. She had a Radon mitigation system in her prior home and knew that she didn't want the exhaust fan on the exterior of the house, so our team routed the exhaust piping through the garage and out the attic. She was pleased with the one extraction point radon system with interior aesthetic package. Afterward, she shared, "Lance and Cole were in and out very quickly; everything went great - it's always great to see them! They are very polite and cleaned up well -- Cole even brought in my mail for me as they arrived as well! Both Lance and Cole were great and very funny, and now the pipe placement and system are all much better than it was! Ashlynn was also so kind on the phone - I love her messages so much. Thanks so much!"

Josh did an amazing job. He was so friendly, made sure to ask questions and was so respectful of my home. He left my home cleaner then it was before he got here! Cannot recommend Radon Defense Midwest enough!

Radon Defense Midwest was contacted by concerned home owners in Omaha, NE regarding their radon levels. Upon inspection of the home, we had found muliple additions, creating multiple chambers. We also found that the ceiling and joists were made of concrete. We sat down with the homeowner who had concerns regarding the apperance of the system. Knowing the system would require multiple extraction points, we designed a system with 2 radon mitigation fans, and 6 extraction points. After install we sucessfully took the homeowner from a 14.2 PCI level, to a 2.3. Thank you for trusting Radon Defense Midwest with the health and saftey of your home.

This was a unique experience for our team. The client owns a hardware store and was hungover during his appointment and apologized for not feeling well. The inspection took quite a while, and he appreciated the thought the radon expert has put into the design and complimented the team a few times about how good they treat him. The client is in his 60s and his son lives in the basement, so he was really concerned about the cancer risk and overall indoor air quality. He was a nice enough guy that warmed up as time progressed. The installation was quick as it was a 2-chamber home. One extraction point as entering finished space along foundation wall, route through finished wall, second extraction point in storage room, route up along ceiling, exit through rim joist and route upside of house. Everything went well!

Andrew and Austin did a great job in this exterior install for our customers. They just moved into their new home and have 2 young children and they would like to spend more time in their basement living area. With the help of our crew and installing this mitigation system, it will allow this family to feel safe in their home knowing that their radon levels will be taken care of. Great job Austin and Andrew!!

Radon and its adverse health effects can have a profound impact on people's lives. New customers often share with us how their personal history and health concerns have motivated them to test for and eliminate radon in their homes. Mary Kay was one such customer. She's had some health issues and as she and her husband Dennis grow older eliminating radon has become a priority for them both. A test revealed the Omaha couple's radon level to be 11.3 pCi/L. Our team installed a mitigation system and a Breathe EZ Air Cleaner to help lower their level as quickly and effectively as possible. They also made sure that the couple understood how the system functions and were comfortable replacing their own Breathe EZ air filters to ensure that their system keeps them healthy for years to come.

Omaha homeowner Brooke cared deeply about her health. Unlike her diet and her workout schedule, Brooke didn't think much about her indoor air quality and its impact on her health. After finding out about the dangers of radon, however, she knew her home needed to be tested. Home health can have serious implications for personal health, though it's harder to see. Our team assessed the homeowner's needs and installed a mitigation system and Breathe EZ Air Filter so she doesn't have to worry that radon and unsafe indoor air is undermining her healthy lifestyle.
