In a quiet rural setting sits a newer grey home, recently flagged for elevated radon levels. The homeowner, facing serious health challenges; couldn't risk prolonged exposure. With an unfinished basement, our team designed a radon mitigation system focused on both effectiveness and simplicity. The plan: install the extraction point directly in the sump, unless interior drain tile is found, in which case the back corner offers a more discreet pipe route. A fan will be placed at the back corner of the home, blending function and curb appeal. The techs will seal floor cracks as needed to reduce radon entry and, unless their local electrician steps in, we’ll handle the electrical as part of the install. The GPS may not pinpoint the exact house, but once you spot the grey exterior, you’ll know you're in the right place; ready to protect another family from the dangers of radon gas.

Radon testing revealed levels of 17.5 pCi/L in this home, well above safe limits and requiring professional radon mitigation. With a complex roofline and a cluttered basement, careful planning was key. After coordinating cleanup before installation and duct cleaning, our radon contractor designed a two-point sub-slab extraction system in the back room, spaced 12 feet apart for effective radon reduction. The system connects high and exits through the side of the home using coring, meeting clearance requirements from windows and rooflines. We also sealed the sump pit and installed a 20x25 Breathe Easy air cleaner to improve indoor air quality and reduce radon exposure symptoms.

For this returning customer in Bennet, Nebraska, our team performed a radon fan replacement to keep their system running efficiently. The existing exterior pipe was installed tightly against the house, so some adjustments were needed to fit the new fan properly. This quick update ensures continued radon reduction and safe indoor air quality for the homeowner. Note that radon testing was still done before starting the replacement process.
