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!

This home had a wide open basement. It needed 3 points and the team drafted the exact location for the suction points. The installation point starting would be in the second point under the stairway next to the foundation, third point will be over the HVAC. The clients tested and results came back with 32 pCi/L which was really high. She has been very anxious as her cats have been sick for a month or two and she's convinced radon is contributing. Everything went well and advised customer she can have peace of mind. 

Straightforward Radon Fix in a High-Risk Home

When testing revealed radon levels of 31 pCi/L in this home, the risk wasn’t something to ignore. At more than seven times the EPA action level, the homeowners knew they needed a radon mitigation contractor who could act fast and get it right the first time. Our team designed a direct extraction system, placing the extraction point near the drain and routing it straight out the back of the home. This clean, efficient setup supports strong airflow and long-term radon reduction while minimizing visual impact. By using proven sub-slab depressurization methods and professional-grade equipment, we’re helping this family reduce their radon exposure symptoms risk and protect their home’s indoor air quality.

Health-First Radon Mitigation: Protecting a Lung Cancer Survivor’s Home

When detector readings came back around 5 pCi/L, homeowner Keith who recently underwent surgery for lung cancer knew it was time to take action. Radon exposure symptoms can be especially dangerous for those with a health history, and he wanted peace of mind for his family. Our crew installed a custom radon mitigation system, replacing the sump lid but placing the suction point along the wall instead of the sump, since it discharges into septic. The radon fan was strategically routed near the dryer vent, away from the deck and kitchen window, ensuring safe airflow and compliance. We also installed a Breathe EZ air cleaner and ERV system, showing the family how to replace filters to maintain clean, healthy air. With careful planning around the home’s AC, exhausts, and deck, this radon abatement project provided both protection and comfort.

This client had their home tested and came back with high levels of radon. They prioritize their kids so much that never hesitated to search for the solution to prevent this and contacted Radon Defense Midwest. The team educated them the best structure on how their radon mitigation system will be fitting their home and they were fine with it. It was a smooth installation!
