Radon Testing Before & After Photos

Radon Mitigation Install in Blanchard, Iowa

With Radon Testing as their only priority for Ashley, she made the decision to get her own radon mitigation system. She was our client from the month of April and was hesitant to get a system by then and only stuck with radon testing first. She called again this June and asked about a free estimate. We discussed her options and advised to do a new test as radon levels could fluctuate for a lot of reasons. Levels returned around 7 and was eager to have her radon remediation system installed as soon as possible.

Radon Mitigation System and How it Works

The Howlands were shocked to learn about high radon levels detected in their basement. They called in Radon Defense Midwest and the tech explained how a mitigation system works. With pipes installed to draw radon from the ground and a fan venting it outside. They got a free estimate and booked right away as they felt the price is right onset. Installation was done quick and the family felt a wave of relief, knowing their home was now safe.

An elderly couple, both around 80 years old, Dan and Marion have a modular house on a block foundation basement. Formerly an avid hunter, Dan runs a dehumidifier's condensation line into a hole in the ground, pumping water outside. With radon levels at 4.5 and Dan's history of smoking, an extraction point is planned near this area, with plexiglass covering. Despite the challenge of fitting a BEZ due to existing shackle types, we discussed potential furnace replacement and the addition of a BEZ in the basement. The couple agreed and were really excited about this decision.

Radon Remediation in Clarinda, Iowa

This simple installation had two points. The first point install was into the basement and the other into the concrete crawlspace. The family tested at levels of 10 and the basement had levels of 4-5 upstairs. The clients did request a fan cover for the noise. Installation was perfect!

What is the best method of radon mitigation?

The clients were concerned about the potential health risks of radon exposure in their home, especially with young children around. After a radon test revealed high levels around 38-40 pCi/L, they decided to install a radon mitigation system for peace of mind. They also considered a sub slab depressurization method for the radon mitigation system installation. They were happy how it turned out!
