Job Stories

For this lovely family, radon mitigation was one of their keys to a healthier life. After installation, they noticed an immediate improvement in their well-being, with fewer respiratory issues and a newfound sense of security in their radon-free home. They had their first radon mitigation system with us last year and wanted to install another one since they had built an extension for their home. 

Doug knows his way around a house—he's owned seventeen. So, when moving into his most recent house in Cherokee, Iowa this past year, Doug knew to check for radon. After testing the house himself, Doug was planning on setting up his own mitigation system until questions and complications led him to consult the experts.  We worked hand-in-hand with the Iowa homeowner to implement an efficient mitigation system that fits his specific needs and works with his other home improvement plans because we might be experts in radon, but our customers are experts in their homes. Working together, we can create mitigation systems that are effective in every way.  

This was a newly bought home by this lovely family which had a good access from the basement and the team run a decent length of pipe to locate the fan on the side of the house. It was a pretty simple installation and everything was cleaned up after. Clients were amused of that act! 

This client requested a special design with this system and would like to know how the warranty applies to it. We were able to give out the planning a one-point system with a soffit pen and a cover. The main point is that they are able to mitigate. Everything went well. 

After years of suffering from unexplained health issues, the client decided to take action and protect her family. She had heard about the dangers of radon and knew that it could be a potential cause of her health problems. Initially, she thought about disinfecting her home but quickly realized that it was not the solution. She did her research and found Radon Defense Midwest. After getting a free estimate, she decided to go ahead with the installation of a radon mitigation system. The team at Radon Defense Midwest was professional and efficient, ensuring that the installation process was completed smoothly.   The client was relieved to have the radon mitigation system installed, knowing that her family was now protected from the harmful effects of radon. She was also impressed with the quality of service provided by Radon Defense Midwest, from the initial estimate to the installation and follow-up support.   Now, she can breathe easy knowing that she has taken the necessary steps to protect her family's health.

Jeremiah came to NRD Midwest with his home's Radon levels at 7 pCi/L. Tony Kulhanek, an Indoor Air Quality Specialist, came out to help as soon as he could and helped ease his mind with the safest and most cost-efficient system we could build. The installation crew did a great job, they were very timely, and cleaned up well. The quality, cost, and quick turnaround left Jeremiah feeling very satisfied!

These were one of our delicate customers as the main reason they got a radon mitigation system is because part of the homeowner's lung has been removed. He is entirely sensitive to anything that can attack his respiratory system or as simple as his breathing. The wife is overly concerned about radon at home, so they had to test, the reading came out to 30 pCi/L which was not good. They immediately booked an installation in the closest possible time and date. The team found a room for 3 extraction points and the point starts between the lift station and stack in storage closet. Second point was from the closet going to the bathroom and third point will be from the other closet with the bathroom that has a floor drain. Before the team started everything was identified and explained to both homeowners and all sets of expectations were laid down. They agreed and gave the go signal and everything was smooth as silk! They also threw in an addition of Breathe EZ filter and duct cleaning for extra protection. 

Radon and its adverse health effects can have a profound impact on people's lives. New customers often share with us how their personal history and health concerns have motivated them to test for and eliminate radon in their homes. Mary Kay was one such customer. She's had some health issues and as she and her husband Dennis grow older eliminating radon has become a priority for them both. A test revealed the Omaha couple's radon level to be 11.3 pCi/L. Our team installed a mitigation system and a Breathe EZ Air Cleaner to help lower their level as quickly and effectively as possible. They also made sure that the couple understood how the system functions and were comfortable replacing their own Breathe EZ air filters to ensure that their system keeps them healthy for years to come.

Karen has always been an analytical person and takes her role as a homeowner very seriously. Though she knew her house needed radon mitigation, this Omaha homeowner felt no need to rush the process.  Hearing Karen's concerns, our team crafted an installation plan and walked the homeowner through every step, making sure to offer discrete options that wouldn't keep Karen from completing other home improvement projects she had planned. Radon may be a serious health concern, but there's no reason why mitigation can't be thoughtful and undisruptive. Our team is dedicated to providing system designs that allow homeowners to keep their homes aesthetically consistent without sacrificing safety.

Omaha homeowner Brooke cared deeply about her health. Unlike her diet and her workout schedule, Brooke didn't think much about her indoor air quality and its impact on her health. After finding out about the dangers of radon, however, she knew her home needed to be tested. Home health can have serious implications for personal health, though it's harder to see. Our team assessed the homeowner's needs and installed a mitigation system and Breathe EZ Air Filter so she doesn't have to worry that radon and unsafe indoor air is undermining her healthy lifestyle.
