Before & After Photos

Recent new homeowner tested their home for radon and came back positive, especially in their daughter’s room. Homeowner was very concerned about their daughter’s safety, so they gave MidAmerica Basement Systems a call to help solve their problem.  Bill Willcox had the pleasure of installing our Radon Mitigation system to help minimize the amount of radon in the home.

Trisha had recently purchased a radon test kit to check the levels in her home. When she received her results, she was in shock. Her levels were more than double the recommended 4.0 pCi/L standards set by the EPA. She quickly reached out to the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems. She was offered a radon mitigation system to help depressurize the gas that gets trapped under the home’s foundation, and filters it through a Breathe EZ Air Filter. After Trisha preformed her post radon test, levels came back well under the recommendation, leaving it safer for her to breathe the air in her home. 

In this home in Bushnell, IL, the radon levels tested at more than 2x the EPA's recommended "safe" radon limit. The homeowners decided to act to prevent lung damage from the toxic radon gasses. They called the experts at MidAmerica Basement Systems, and selected a radon package that included the exterior aesthetic package. The new radon system looks great!

Radon is a radioactive, colorless, odorless, tasteless gas from the decay of radium. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and is found both inside and outside your home. Radon levels become very concentrated in a home and can only be detected by special kits. Installing a Radon Mitigation system, Radon is pulled directly out from underneath the home, and discharged out of the home, leaving the air quality of the home healthier and safer to breathe.
