Job Stories

In David City, Nebraska, word spread about Radon Defense Midwest's exemplary service. It had a lot of Google Reviews, Feedback, and amazing gallery of work. The team had several calls with the same story until they got to this booking. The client was really in a good mood, she constantly helped and laughed at her own stories. The home had 3 chambers and she already had an old system and needed one more to make sure her whole house if protected in and out. A draft was designed for the client along with the discussions on what to expect alongside the installation. She agreed and on the same day, she booked an additional encapsulation service since she was happy with Radon Defense Midwest's service. 

Nadine's levels tested in at 66 pCi/L in Feb and 58 pCi/L in March. She was very concerned with the extreme levels and understood what needed to happen to get those levels down below 4.0 pCi/L. Our team installed a system with three extraction points and afterward she shared with us, "Lance was very knowledgeable and helpful! They did a great job cleaning up, and I've already referred you to my son!"

A Ranch, a Radon Surprise, and a Plan After years of peaceful living on their scenic acreage, the homeowners were surprised to learn their ranch-style house was reading 12 pCi/L for radon. With four basement chambers, an old sump pit, and a sunroom crawlspace sitting on dirt, it was clear this home needed a customized solution.   The sump—unused but ready—became the first extraction point. The second would go 15 feet away under the porch slab. The third, tucked in a southwest storage closet. Two fans would carry the load: one exiting by the front AC unit, the other discreetly placed behind the home with access from a bedroom closet.   The family had weathered storms with buckets before. Now, with a sump pump, sealed slab, and fully designed radon system—peace of mind is back.

Brad wanted to lower the Radon levels in his home for health reasons. After speaking with the Indoor Air Quality Specialist who helped to design the system Brad was looking for, Lance and Cole installed a 2 extraction point radon system with a domed sump cover. Afterward Brad remarked, "The team was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. They did a great job!"

Cole and Jordan installed this ERV for a customer to help lower their radon levels even more, giving them the best air quality possible.

A renovation is ongoing in this client's home. They're making a large addition that includes a space behind their garage that's being converted to a laundry room and will set another space for the garage extension. An upstairs sunroom is also under construction. While they have this, they decided to take a radon test to see what's their level. Lo and behold, it turned out to be almost 10 pCi/L and that's high! The client made the decision to get a radon mitigation system installed with Radon Defense Midwest which would be a great fit while there is ongoing construction. So it's like a hole in one project. Everything was discussed in full detail and the installation was perfect. The client is happy.

This client did make sure his home was tested for radon. It's a newly renovated home and it's nice in person. He requested the best and ideal that would fit in his home's structure. We were able to draft one for him and really liked it! Installation went well.

After receiving radon test results showing 22.2 pCi/L, this homeowner, who had never tested before, took immediate action. With a child living in the mostly finished basement, addressing radon became a top priority. A 3-point mitigation system will be installed, with extraction points at the plumbing stack, SE corner, and along the south wall. The homeowner plans to clear out storage, including part of a built-in shelf, to give the crew access. The system will be carefully routed: points one and two connected low, points two and three connected high, with the system exiting from point two. This proactive move ensures a healthier environment for the entire family, especially the kids living downstairs.

This was a big old farm house and when the team saw the home's structure, it was indeed a challenge installation a radon mitigation system or ERV. As they will need to core through the brick exterior, they will have also need to cut some ceiling out in various locations to run ERV ducts over the HVAC and interior walls. This was fully explained to the customer and they definitely agreed. The team made sure no further breaking will be needed and it will not be damaging the home's aesthetic. We have done proper crawlspace encapsulation and ERV installation for his basement. The basement wasn't really livable but since his dogs mostly stay there, he wants to get them protected from any radon exposure. Everything went well!

Is Radon Mitigation Effective? Radon mitigation was the priority of this couple after they retired. They wanted to live a healthier life and made sure their home was clean from radioactive elements or toxins. They also availed a crawlspace encapsulation as they were aware critters were coming out of nowhere. They were very accommodating and nice. They did request to have the installation done in the living room. So the point of installation started from the living room corner going through the block wall and the exit point near the crawlspace opening on the north side. They were happy with the outcome!
