A first-time homeowner learned about radon through the trends of the internet and chose mitigation for peace of mind. He did share with us that this research helped him know more about the dangerous gas. Today, his whole family enjoys their home without worrying about hidden dangers.

Radon Levels Reduced in Home with Concrete Crawlspace and Slab-on-Grade

A homeowner with elevated radon levels—testing at 16 pCi/L above the concrete crawlspace—reached out for help. The crawlspace had 4-foot clearance, making it ideal for mitigation work. Our team installed a radon system with a suction point in the sump, routing up and out alongside the home’s interior tile. Cracks in the concrete were sealed with caulk, and we used spray foam to close gaps where the slab met the crawlspace wall. With a fan cover and muffler installed, the system is quiet and efficient. While one section of the home remains inaccessible, the homeowner is already seeing improved air quality—and considering a second system in the future for full protection.

Cole and Jordan did a fabulous job installing this mitigation system for a customer that was concerned about their high radon levels. 

Work from home has commonly been around since the pandemic. This couple from Council Bluffs, Iowa had a tight budget since the husband had a shift in career. Since he will be starting to work from home in the basement, he needed additional protection from radon exposure and called Radon Defense Midwest. The install was pretty simple since they really had a huge basement with space to work on. 

The customer just bought this home and was suggested by his real estate agent to have his home a radon mitigation system. He did not had any second thoughts and automatically called us to have one installed.
