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!

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.

This was a huge commercial project that was built from scratch. As a new construction, the owner wanted to make sure that the foundation is protected from any harmful gases like radon. He might be putting up the building for sale in the future and he did mention having a radon mitigation installed in a building is a fast buying factor. The installation went well and we didn't need any roof penetration which made the owner really happy!

An elderly couple, married for 62 years and living in their home for over 50, became increasingly concerned about their indoor air quality — especially since they spent much of their time downstairs. A radon mitigation plan was carefully designed around their needs. A single-point depressurization system was installed, utilizing the existing sump pit in the northeast corner. Due to its irregular shape, a custom sump lid was crafted to ensure a proper seal. The radon exhaust was routed neatly through the same corner, with a soffit penetration to maintain the home’s exterior appearance. Additional crack sealing throughout the basement further strengthened the system’s effectiveness. With the new system in place, they now enjoy a safer, healthier environment for years to come.

Andrew installed this 2-point extraction mitigation system for our customer who is a single mom and wanted to make sure her home was safe for her and her kids. 

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.  

This project required multiple visits and careful planning, as the homeowners were highly particular about both aesthetics and performance. The final solution included two custom radon mitigation systems. The first system involved encapsulating a crawlspace and running a suction point through the rim joist into a sump on the opposite wall. Routing was planned carefully to preserve the home's appearance, with the discharge venting neatly over the eave. The second system was installed on the opposite side of the house after detailed discussions around pipe placement and existing waterproofing. Additional sealing was done around the basement perimeter, using grey caulking as requested. Despite the home's complex layout, the final system was designed to protect both the home's health and its visual appeal.

The old farmhouse stood as a silent witness to the passage of time. Built in the 1960s, it had weathered the years and witnessed different families come and go. From 2005 to 2017, it served as a rental property until the current owner decided to purchase it, determined to provide a safe haven for his three beloved daughters.   Concerned about their well-being and indoor air quality, the owner approached our team, seeking a solution to ensure their safety and protection. After careful assessment, we devised a plan that involved installing two extraction points, strategically positioned in each corner of the basement. This approach would effectively mitigate radon levels and improve the overall air quality within the farmhouse.   However, there was a challenge lying beneath the surface—an existing tight crawlspace that demanded extra attention and care during the installation process. Undeterred, our team embraced the obstacle as an opportunity to showcase their expertise.   With meticulous planning and precision, we executed the project flawlessly. Our skilled technicians navigated the tight spaces of the crawlspace, ensuring that every component of the radon mitigation system was installed securely and seamlessly integrated with the farmhouse's existing infrastructure.   As the installation came to a successful close, a sense of accomplishment filled the air. The owner was relieved and grateful, knowing that his daughters now had a home that not only boasted better indoor air quality but also safeguarded their health.   The old farmhouse, now revitalized, breathed new life as it became a sanctuary for the owner and his daughters. The memories made within those walls would be ones filled with joy, laughter, and the assurance of a safe and protected environment—a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team.
