To its owner, the farmhouse held an irreplaceable charm, and preserving its legacy became an utmost priority. The farmhouse's custodian, Mrs. Thompson, cherished the abode that had been a sanctuary for her family for decades. As time passed, however, concerns about the indoor air quality began to trouble her. Determined to protect the health and well-being of her loved ones, Mrs. Thompson embarked on a quest to create a haven of clean and rejuvenating air within her cherished farmhouse.   She sought out experts who understood her attachment to the old farmhouse and her desire for healthy indoor air. With their guidance, Mrs. Thompson obtained her very own state-of-the-art air purification system, designed to eliminate allergens, pollutants, and contaminants from the air she held so dear.   With careful precision, the system was installed, its components blending seamlessly with the farmhouse's rustic aesthetic. As the gentle hum of the air purifier filled the rooms, a sense of tranquility settled upon Mrs. Thompson. She knew that her beloved farmhouse would continue to be a sanctuary, now not only for cherished memories but also for the gift of pure, healthy air.

High Radon Levels in Elk Horn, Iowa Radon Mitigation in Elk Horn, Iowa   This client was concerned about her home as she didn't know how to do the radon test herself. She called us and asked for a free estimate. The team offered her a radon testing assistance and was relieved! The radon levels turned out to be 9.4 pCi/L which is really high. The home had a partially finished basement. The installation was a sub slab extraction point in the HVAC room along side the wall adjacent to the shelves. The system will exit the home through rim joist and route up and around soffit. Installation was a success!

This school's gym radon tested around 3 times for the owner to convince himself that it really needs to have a mitigation system. There's a system on the main school building and a second one that looks like it goes into the ground outside the storm shelter. The team decided to place the fan on the backside of the shelter and have it elevated closer to the roof. In that way it reaches the outlet for power. This was a challenge as it took a long to figure out how to arrange the structure of the system without adjusting any other infrastructure piping. Nevertheless, the installation was a success! Team never felt better!

Radon Mitigation in Aurelia, Iowa Randy and his wife recently bought house from his mom. The basement is about half finished. They did a radon test and returned with levels of 15 and scared of possible future health concerns. Installation started with an extraction point in concrete shower and second point 12' away along back wall. Connected two points below electrical panel and above faucet.

Everything went well!

When Steve's wife was diagnosed with lung cancer, the non-smoking couple was confident that it was radon-induced. A test of their Corning basement revealed an average radon level of 4.0 pCi/L. Though Iowa's average household radon level, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health, is 8.5 pCi/L, the national Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that all homes with a level at or above 4.0 pCi/L seek radon treatment. Unfortunately, radon mitigation can't reverse the health damage radon has caused, but it can eliminate future damage and safeguard recovery. Our team installed a suction-system with an exterior fan and economy sump pump to lower the couple's radon level and ensure they're breathing safe air. Best wishes to Steve and his family for a speedy and complete recovery.

When tree roots invade the sewage pipes it causes many problems, blockage, leaks, and horrendous odors. After fixing the root issue this homeowner was still stuck in the lingering sewage smell throughout their home. Each home we work in gets a custom plan to resolve all the customers' issues.  For this home, we installed a sub-slab mitigation system to move the air under the home out and an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) to bring in fresh conditioned air.  Within 5 minutes after the install, the odor was improving. “We had Tony as our salesperson, who did a fantastic job explaining the products and system design. Lance and Curt, CEO of the company, performed our install. Very satisfied so far! No sewer smells!”

After moving into their newly built home about a year ago, a couple discovered high radon levels during routine testing—readings hovered around 13 pCi/L. With plans to finish the lower level soon and grandkids frequently visiting, they knew mitigation was a priority. A custom radon system was installed to address the elevated levels before any additional construction began. By taking action early, they not only protected the health of their family but also set a strong foundation for a safe and comfortable future living space. With the peace of mind that their home’s air quality is now under control, they can move forward with finishing their lower level—and enjoy visits from their grandchildren without worry.

Radon Mitigation Saves the Day This client was undecided if they'll still get a radon mitigation system since they were planning to sell the home and move to another state. They did ask for a free quote last year and called us back this year for another. They were unsure if the money is worth the hassle. One time, a home inspector visited and advised them to get one otherwise their home would not be suitable for the modern market, state laws, and for health concerns of the potential new owner. Lo and behold, they asked competitors and they came back to us as they were happy with the 10-year warranty the system came along with!
