Job Stories

The homeowners made a radon test and returned with levels of 11. The wife was pretty worried about radon and how the system would 'not blend in' with the aesthetic of their home. They called and we explained their options. They were very open and flexible on how we could route the system as they only requested a passive one. They just bought the house this year 2024, and the roof was already penetrated for this intent. 

The client spends most of his time in his basement and since it's winter, he is worried that his radon levels might be triggering. This home was a very simple job as we did not have challenges upon installation. 

Richard was a nice guy and bought the house about a year ago for his wife and kids. Another investment really. The house had an unusual odor coming from the walls. The team tested and returned with the levels of 9 and it was two chambers in a ranch house with an odd layout. It does not have a sump pit. The team planned a sub slab extraction point on both sides of block wall dividing house instead, core low to connect, route up in room where their guest was staying, take out back of house and core through wall. Richard agreed and he loved how it turned out!

It was a beautiful day in the middle of summer, and the Radon Defense Midwest team was out on a job. They were tasked with installing a new radon mitigation system in a nice lady's home, who had reached out to them for help.   The team arrived at the home and were greeted by the homeowner, a sweet and talkative lady. She welcomed the team with open arms and a warm smile, eager to get started on the project. As they began working, she chatted away, sharing her life stories with the team. It was clear that she was a social butterfly and had a lot to say. Throughout the installation, the homeowner was incredibly helpful, offering her extra hands whenever needed. She was very interested in the process and asked a lot of questions. The team was happy to explain everything to her and make sure she was fully informed about the work they were doing.   At lunchtime, the homeowner surprised the team with a delicious spread of sandwiches and snacks. It was a nice gesture, and the team appreciated the thoughtful gesture. The homeowner even sat down with them to chat while they ate, sharing more stories about her life. As they continued the installation, the team noticed that the homeowner's home was spotless. It was clear that she took pride in keeping her home neat and tidy. She explained that she wanted a radon mitigation system for her home because her brother had installed one and it had helped his breathing. She wanted to prioritize her health and make sure her home was safe.   Despite having an existing radon mitigation system, the homeowner was not happy with its design and structure. She had heard about Radon Defense Midwest and reached out to them for help. The team worked efficiently and effectively, making sure to address all of her concerns and ensure that the new system met all the necessary safety standards.   In the end, the homeowner was thrilled with the new radon mitigation system. She expressed her gratitude to the team, thanking them for their hard work and for improving her home's safety. The team was happy to have been able to help and grateful for the opportunity to meet such a kind and generous homeowner.

Sheila and her husband have lived in their home for over twenty years, but their connection to the house doesn't end there. Shelia's husband grew up in the house and the couple bought it from his parents. The Logan couple wants to stay in their family home forever. A 7.2 pCi/L reading from a radon test in 2015 shook that dream of keeping their family home. After radon mitigation, they now keep their house healthy with a Breathe EZ air cleaner. The Breathe EZ filters radon decay product, allergens, mold spores, airborne viruses and bacteria, airborne chemicals and smoke for better all-around indoor air quality and a healthier inhale.
