Job Stories

Marla was passionate about her quilt-making business and spent most of her days in the basement of her home where she had set up her workspace. One day, she stumbled upon Radon Defense's website and learned about the risks of radon gas. She realized that she and her employees had been breathing in radon gas for years and decided that she needed to take action. She contacted Radon Defense Midwest and they sent a team to test her home for radon gas. The results showed that the radon levels were high in the basement where she spent most of her time. The team recommended an active passive radon mitigation system to ensure her safety and protection. She was relieved to hear that the installation process would not take too long and the team was very professional and efficient. Within a few days, the system was installed, and Marla could breathe easier knowing that she and her employees were now protected from the harmful effects of radon gas.

This 4-chamber home was radon tested and came out to be with 8.7 pCi/L on levels -- which is really high. It was an average duplex home and the area used to have brick floor but the homeowners decided to remove it and replaced it with gravel, plastic and concrete. It had an accessible crawlspace to work on and sump pit. We routed the installation plan into the crawlspace for second point and put the radon fan on the south side of home next to the downspout. The homeowner is very detail-oriented so we were really careful explaining every little bit of detail he needs to know. Same goes, they were satisfied how the radon mitigation system installation turned out! We hope you like farm fresh eggs because they were so generous in giving the team some, yummy!

Radon Gas Remediation for Big Home in Friend, Nebraska 15 years ago the homeowners used plastic to line the crawl space to prevent soil gas intrusion. Found out that the covering is in major disrepair and will need to be removed. Educated homeowners about this and they agreed. The team will encapsulate the 2 areas on the east side of the home along with the crawlspace. It will be a 4-point system as the home is quite large. Three points in the crawl spaces where existing system is run. Plus one point under or next to the stairs. The area under the stairs is tight and will need to be encapsulated. The radon fan was replaced with a better one and the clients requested to keep the old. Everything went well and homeowners are happy!

This client needed help as he was renovating his basement and tested for radon - his levels retuned 8! He was really worried and didn't want to pursue the construction until a radon mitigation system is installed. He will be using the basement as his utility and project room where he will be spending most of his time. There were no challenges faced in the installation process as there is a dedicated spot for the system initially. 

This client is one amazing son. He cares a lot for his mother -- main reason why he got a radon mitigation system installed. His elderly mother lives in his home.

Dave has big plans for his house in Staplehurst, Nebraska. He takes pride in having a clean, safe, reliable house and hopes to pass the house on to his kids. With this in mind, the Staplehurst homeowner was looking to increase the house's value with radon mitigation. A test revealed radon levels of 14.3 pCi/L and it became clear that radon mitigation would not only raise the house's value, but make it far safer.  Our team worked closely with Dave to ensure that the system didn't interrupt the house's organization or decrease its value. Dave's plan for his house's legacy is in safe hands with a discrete and effective radon mitigation system.

Larry loved tinkering in his garage, but lately, the air hung heavy with fumes and moisture. Winter brought a chilling experience, while summer felt like a sauna. He suspected the culprit was the unfinished crawlspace beneath. After researching solutions, Larry contacted Radon Defense Midwest. The team explained how encapsulating the crawlspace would eliminate moisture and installing an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) in the garage would provide fresh, filtered air year-round. Larry pictured a comfortable haven for his projects, free of drafts and fumes – finally, a perfect garage or vehicle space, all year long.
