The homeowner thought it would be a challenge for our team to create a crawl space for the radon mitigation to be built but there is no location or limitation of space that our team cannot handle! 

The client and her family were planning to sell their home, but they discovered that the radon levels were high. They contacted Radon Defense Midwest, and the team installed a mitigation system. The levels dropped to safe levels, and they are now confident to sell their home without any issues. We did advise that homes with radon mitigation systems are sold faster versus the ones without. 

From Surprise to Solution: Tackling High Radon in a Home with Additions

After 15 years in their home, this family was shocked when a radon test revealed fluctuating levels between 10–25 pCi/L—despite having a passive system. Their children’s bedrooms are in the lower level, so health concerns were top of mind. The homeowner had already taken initiative by adding a fan to the passive system, but discovered it wasn’t addressing two key radon chambers in the home’s large rear addition.

Radon Defense Midwest stepped in to design a two-point mitigation system for the addition, along with an ERV for improved air circulation. With thoughtful placement and homeowner collaboration, this project reflects what’s possible when experience, concern, and the right team come together.

This client has just purchased a new home and wanted to ensure that it was free from any potential health hazards. He contacted Radon Defense Midwest and had a mitigation system installed since he realized what radon can do to the body. The team was efficient and professional, and the client was happy to see the radon levels drop to safe levels.

The client was well aware of radon and is scared by its future effects if left uncontrolled. So he made the decision to test, mitigate and contact his local radon mitigation specialists (us). We were able to explain how the installation process would be and he agreed to it. We were able to install a single-point system around the eave with a sub-slab extraction point.
