Aging parent motivates clean air check
Susie and her husband thought they were ready to welcome Susie's 94-year-old mother into their Lincoln home until they saw their radon level. Seeing that, the homeowners knew they wouldn't be ready until they were sure the house was safe. We installed a mitigation system and spoke with the Lincoln homeowners about Breathe EZ and other ways to ensure safe and clean indoor air quality so Susie and her mother can breathe safely.
Experienced homeowners offer unique insights to system install
Francis and Margaret know a lot about their home. Margaret's father constructed the original house and Francis has since done all his own electrical rewiring in it. The Grand Island couple knew they needed to take care of radon in their house, and they knew they needed professionals to take care of it.
Our team installed a radon extraction system alongside the homeowner's existing HVAC and water pressure tank to keep their home's aesthetic intact. Working collaboratively with the homeowners, we were able to customize their system to match their home and its needs.
To Use a Muffler, or Not to Use a Muffler..
Francis and Margaret were trying to decide together on a muffler for their Radon mitigation system. The NRD Midwest team offered to turn on a fan so they could hear if they wanted to invest in a muffler for their fan. Neither felt like they would have an issue with the noise since the fan would be in their attic.

Mitigation system protects house's safety, legacy
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.
Mitigating a Family Home with History
This ranch home tested at 11.5 pCi/L, and while the structure holds decades of family history, it also presents unique challenges. The original porch was enclosed to create a finished living space, but the crawlspace beneath remains inaccessible—making radon level warranties difficult.
The basement is mostly finished, except for a small HVAC room. The homeowner’s grandfather added the basement in the 1970s and later installed interior drain tile, though the sump pump is located outside. With uncertainty about where the tile runs, our team plans to extract near the plumbing stack and tie into the system if accessible.
Routing will go through the rim joist, with the homeowner assisting by relocating the water softener basin ahead of time.
Radon and Its Marketability
This client of ours was planning to sell their home recognized that radon mitigation would improve its marketability and ensure a successful sale. They do believe in due time all homes in the United States will require a radon mitigation system as part of a safety measure in home inspections. The installation went well and they were really happy on the team cleaned up afterwards.
High Radon Levels Found in Missouri
High Radon Levels in Tarkio, Missouri
Met with Haley and Josh virtually. They just bought this very large and old house and in the process of doing renovations. They wanted to make sure their whole family is protected and no future health concerns coming. They had a radon test, returned with levels of 16. That's pretty high. The installation will start with the large open basement with HVAC room in second chamber, a cellar that is 8'x20 that may need to be addressed with a third point. Exit side of house, install fan with cover and route up. They were happy how it turned out!
