This customer was annoyed and had been complaining with the noise level of their old radon fan. Turns out the location they wanted was next to a bedroom. There is almost no insulation behind their siding, so if the pipe even comes close to the house, there is a vibration/noise. We explained to them how it was and was very disappointed with the previous mitigation company they worked with. We drafted a plan where the team managed to strap the pipe above the fan with J hooks to help with the noise. It was a nice experience since customer has knowledge in construction he had better hooks provided - he didn't ask for a discount either which was cool. Everything went well and he was happy!
