This home presented a unique challenge: two inaccessible crawlspaces and a newly added basement section. To ensure proper radon reduction, our team designed a system with an extraction point in the corner of the new basement, run through the block wall to connect with a second extraction point located near the new plumbing and egress window. Despite limited access to key areas, strategic routing and thoughtful system design ensured we could deliver reliable radon mitigation while respecting the home’s structure. Sometimes the job calls for a little creativity—and this install delivered protection where it matters most.

This ranch-style home had radon levels of 22.0 pCi/L, well above the EPA action level. While the basement had a sump pit, it lacked drain tile, and the layout included two main chambers separated by a stem wall with footings. To ensure proper radon reduction, a 3-point extraction system was designed: Point one near the plumbing stack Point two approximately 12 feet away in the basement corner Point three on the opposite side of the stem wall The mitigation system will exit through the rim joist on the north side of the home. The homeowner expressed interest in the Breathe EZ air purification and duct cleaning, but will wait due to budget. Despite structural limitations, this setup delivers a strong foundation for radon abatement, protecting the home's air quality and ensuring a safer living space.

For this returning customer in Bennet, Nebraska, our team performed a radon fan replacement to keep their system running efficiently. The existing exterior pipe was installed tightly against the house, so some adjustments were needed to fit the new fan properly. This quick update ensures continued radon reduction and safe indoor air quality for the homeowner. Note that radon testing was still done before starting the replacement process.

The clients were an elderly couple who had some health concerns. This is a simple radon mitigation system activation as well as a Breathe EZ filter. There is an existing sump in the corner of the basement that runs about 10 ft back and up through the ceiling. Access to the crawl space is in the garage -- where the point would begin. The passive system sits over the client's utility closet. The installation went well. The clients were very accommodating too! They even cooked for the team!

This was a small house with an interior foundation wall that's a clay tile. The team did not upcharge for the coring to give consideration for the customer. They made 3 extraction points and had a radon test before proceeding. The level returned to 20, which was a high number. The homeowner was pretty worried it would go up if left unmitigated. Hence, booking Radon Defense Midwest to solve all their radon exposure worries. 

The Meaning of Radon Mitigation for a Simple Family This client of ours shared his heroic story on how he brought up the radon mitigation system as a health investment to his family. They were hesitant at first due to the costs and the meticulous process their home needs to go through. A neighbor convinced them to get a simple radon test first and shocked to see that they had high levels! They did ask the team what's the best option for a tight budget and didn't realize we offered a payment plan or financing. They were really happy about and gone through the booking. The team did see they also needed a crawlspace encapsulation to prevent moisture and bugs. It was a simple installation since they already have a dedicated spot for the radon fan. 

This client had their home tested for radon and the results weren't really good. Worried about their family's health, they proceeded to inquire with Radon Defense Midwest with the ideal radon mitigation system designed for the home's structure. They liked it but requested a few remediations to keep the home's aesthetic. The installation was easy since there were extraction points found for the system. Everything went well!
