A Client's Radon Dilemma Meeting Judy and her boyfriend Ron was lively. Despite being elderly, they were full of questions and stories, curious about every detail of the radon mitigation plan. Their basement, with levels of 17, felt damp and musty, while readings upstairs ranged from 5 to 7. Health concerns loomed large. The basement, half finished, had a small sump pit, and the sump pump shared space with a toilet and floor drain. Plans included adding plexiglass and two extraction points: one in the corner and another near the drain. To minimize noise, the vent would exit near the bathroom, away from Judy’s bedroom. With Judy’s severe allergies, the team also offered options of filtration with Breathe EZ regardiless of their numerous air purification units. They were happy about that option and had it installed.   

Joyce Davia contacted NRD Midwest concerned about a pipe that was leaking possibly from the roof boot of her radon mitigation system. When the NRD Midwest technitians checked it out, they discovered that the roof boot was not the cause of the leak, but instead it seemed to be from the fittings. The technitians rebuilt the piping from the moisture guard on up, and reinforced the fittings, making sure to tighten the fernco couplers extra tight. They even poured water in the discharge to test it: No leaks! Joyce shared afterward, "They did a fine job, and cleaned up well after the work was finished. Both men seemed knowledgeable and were very receptive to what I wanted to relay about the situation."

The client is a real estate agent and is selling her own house. She is aiming to close the home as a sale that is contingent upon getting levels below 4 and she already has a potential buyer. Levels are 19 with this 3-chambered home. It has two large rooms that are slab on grade, then basement. It has no sump pit. The installation will start from the HVAC room as the sub slab extraction point is found there. She will talk to another agent but was wanting this done much sooner and said the buyers are moving from out of state and demanded a post test below 4 prior to moving in. We made it work! She was really happy!

Radon Mitigation and Crawlspace Sealing Transform an Older Home’s Air Quality and Comfort After struggling for months with a nagging cough, a homeowner decided to investigate the air quality in her older home. Testing revealed elevated radon levels, especially near her bedroom. With a small basement, two deep crawlspaces, and cold floors, a comprehensive plan was set in motion. A three-point mitigation system was installed — two extraction points in the crawlspaces and one through the concrete slab. The slab-on-grade section, already vented, didn’t require additional work. Crawlspaces were sealed and insulated, addressing both radon and her chilly floors. Minor debris was removed with the help of dumpsters. Beyond radon reduction, cleaning the home’s ductwork brought noticeable improvements. Today, her home feels warmer, healthier, and finally provides the peace of mind she’d been hoping for.
