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.

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.

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. 

With a sense of familiarity and excitement, the radon mitigation team geared up for another visit to a valued repeat client. Having previously installed a radon mitigation system in their primary residence, the team was thrilled to assist them with their second home. It was a testament to the trust and satisfaction the client had in their services.   Upon arrival, warm greetings were exchanged, as though meeting old friends. The team listened attentively as the client expressed their desire to have the same effective radon mitigation system installed in their second property. The team shared their enthusiasm, happy to be part of this journey once again.   The installation process was a smooth and seamless experience, just as it had been before. The team swiftly worked together, efficiently installing the necessary components to ensure maximum effectiveness. Hours passed quickly as they diligently carried out their tasks, leaving no stone unturned.   Finally, the installation was complete. The client's satisfaction was palpable as they admired the meticulous workmanship and attention to detail. They expressed their gratitude, knowing that their second home was now safeguarded against the dangers of radon.   The team took pride in their work, appreciating the opportunity to serve a loyal client once again.

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.

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.

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.
